Initial Start-up

IMPORTANT: About the GFCI Circuit Interrupter — The GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
is an electrical safety switch that automatically shuts off power to the SpaBerry in case of an electrical
malfunction. The GFCI should be OFF before the SpaBerry is filled. Manually turn off power to the
SpaBerry any time by using the GFCI. Just push the switch to the TEST position. After turning off the
GFCI, make sure the control panel display window is blank, to know the power is off. When the power
is ready to turn back on, reset the GFCI by pressing the RESET button. Do not use your SpaBerry unless
you understand the operation of the GFCI. SpaBerry owners should test gfci monthly to ensure
protection. To do this, press the Test button and verify the spa shuts down.
The GFCI is in the 120V cord. The cord comes out of the equipment base on the left side. The outlet
that you connect the SpaBerry to must be rated at 120 volts and 15 amperes.
Note: SpaBerry is convertible to 220V. If you choose to convert to 220V, you must install a 30 or 40
amp GFCI breaker. It is recommended that this be done by a licensed electrician. Minimum wire size is
#8. All connections must conform to local electrical codes. Power connections, and control jumper
settings are contained in the wiring diagram inside the control panel cover. *** By converting the spa to
220V you will have increased heater performance from 1Kw to 4Kw. This will also allow the heater to
run while the pump is in high speed.*** Please follow the instructions on 120 to 220 VAC Conversion
Guide on the next page.
1. Locate the equipment compartment 2. Check that the pump unions (in illustration) are
hand tight to prevent the possibility of leakage.
