Failure to follow these instructions will terminate all warranty coverage
and can cause serious injury or death.

require a 240 V, 60-amp GFCI
Your export 50 Hz pool is preset out of factory to run 230 V-240 V 3
wires 30 A max input. This product must always be connected to resid-
ual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more than 30 mA.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
WARNING: Your pool must be wired by a certified electrician and
according to these instructions. Failure to do so will terminate all
warranties and all listings from the independent listing facility.
1) The TidalFit requires a 240 VAC dedicated system. The pool must be
hard wired to the power supply, with no plug-in connections, extension
cords, or sharing of service.
2) The pool requires that you run 6 (10 mm²) or 8 (8.4 mm²) AWG cop-
per wire, depending on the GFCI size. Do Not Use Aluminum Wire.
3) The power supply must have a suitable Ground Fault Circuit Inter-
rupter (GFCI), according to Section 422-20 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-7987 or other national installation requirement
with a residual current device (RCD) having a trip current of not more
than 30 mA. This could be used as the shut-off switch, which must be
installed in plain view of the pool. This electrical service must be readily
accessible to the pool occupants, but must not be within 5 feet of the
pool.
4) Use only non-metallic conduit and fittings when installing power to
the spa.
5) After your pool has been positioned, route lines through the knockout
on the left or right front corner of the pool.
