Artesian Spas Garden Series Pre Delivery Information

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

It is HIGHLY recommended that you make an appointment with your sales person prior to delivery, so we can do
an in-store orientation to go over the basics of the hot tub, and answer any questions you might have. The
delivery crew is there to safely and professionally deliver your spa, but they are not electricians or contractors,
nor watercare experts. To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very
important that you arrange the required electrical service to be installed after the delivery is scheduled. Your
dealer may have electrical and building contractors they can refer you to, but the sale and delivery of the spa
does not include any electrical or contracting work.
IMPORTANT: All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA

● All Garden Series spas operate on 115 volts 15 amp (regular household outlets)
● The South Seas 519P model operates on 115 volts 20 amp 60 Hz.
● These models above can be converted to 220v / 50 amp
● All other South Seas spa models require 220v / 50 amp service
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in the electrical
control box, or on the back of the field wiring access panel of the equipment module. All spas are configured at
the factory and all wiring is done by the homeowner or their qualified electrician.
1. STANDARD, CORD-CONNECTED 115 VOLT 15 OR 20 AMP CONFIGURATION
For your safety, if you are having an electrician install an electric outlet for the spa it should be no closer than 5
feet (1.5 m) and no further than 10 feet (3 m) from the spa. [Reference National Electrical Code 680 - 6a(1) and
680 - 41a.]
One GFCI is used in the cord-connected 15 or 20 amp configuration. The GFCI module is located at or near the
end of the power cord. To test the GFCI, simply press the TEST button. The GFCI should trip to the "off" position,
disconnecting power to the spa. To reset the GFCI, press the RESET button. The GFCI should reset, and power
should be restored to the spa. If the GFCI does not function in this way, unplug the cord and contact your dealer.
NOTE: Consult your local code authority to determine if an electrical outlet with a cover is required for your
installation. If it is, a suitable outlet cover can be purchased at most home supply stores.
