GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION (or equivalent; RCD, for export installs)
•
All PDC Spas hot tubs are permanently installed units. GROUND FAULT CIRCUIT INTERRUPTER PROTECTION IS REQUIRED.
All spa equipment systems must be protected by a class A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) or equivalent; RCD, for export
installs. A ground fault circuit interrupter type circuit breaker (NOT SUPPLIED) must be installed in the home panel box by a
licensed electrician when making wire connection to the spa support pack equipment.
DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK:
•
Install the spa at least five feet (1.52 m) from all ungrounded (unbounded) metal surfaces.

Ground fault circuit interrupter protection of the home power supply to the hot tub spa is necessary. Your electrician should
explain how it operates. (See maintenance for function and testing)
•
Do not permit any electric appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio or television, within five feet (1.52 m) of a hot tub spa.
