The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that is
designed to detect as little as 5 milliamps (±1mA) of electrical current
leakage to ground. WATKINS WELLNESS recommends that the GFCI be
tested prior to each use to ensure it is functioning correctly. With the spa
connected to the power supply, push the "Test" button. The spa should
stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30 seconds
and then reset the GFCI by pushing the Reset button. The GFCI power
indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not
perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and
the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect
plug from the receptacle until the fault has been
identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT: Never use the GFCI as a means to
disconnect power to the spa (always unplug it).
If the GFCI is tripped while the spa is plugged in,
and a power outage occurs, when power returns
the GFCI will automatically reset and power will
to the spa.
115 VOLT OPERATION
(60Hz ONLY)
The spa must be connected to a dedicated 115 volt, 15 or 20 amp, GFCI
protected, grounded circuit. The term "dedicated" means the electrical
circuit is not being used or shared for any other electrical items (patio
lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-
dedicated circuit, overloading will result in "nuisance tripping" at the main
panel. This requires frequent resetting of the breaker switch at the house
electrical breaker panel and introduces the possibility of damage or failure
of spa equipment.
NEVER CONNECT THE SPA TO AN
EXTENSION CORD!
A pressure wire connector is provided on the exterior surface of the
control box, inside the spa. This is to permit the connection of a ground
bonding wire between this point and any metal equipment, enclosures,

reinforced concrete pad, pipe, or conduit within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the
spa (if needed to comply with local building code requirements). The
bonding wire must be at least a #10-AWG solid copper wire.
Bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment or fixtures, handrails, and
concrete pad per N.E.C. Article 680 and all local codes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All 115 volt spa models come equipped with approximately 15 feet
(15 m) of useable power cord (this is the maximum length allowed by
Underwriters Laboratory and the National Electric Code). When the spa
is installed, the power cord will come out of the bottom of the equipment
the
compartment door. For your safety, when the electrician is installing the
single electrical outlet and waterproof cover, the outlet should be no
closer than 5 feet (1.5 meters) and no farther than 10 feet from the spa
[reference National Electrical Code 680-6a(1) and 680-41a].
The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is located at the end of the
power cord. This device is for your protection. It is very important to
protect it from rain and other moisture. Test once a month, with the plug
flow
connected to the power supply,
1.
Push the "TEST" button on the GFCI breaker. The spa should stop
operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out.
2.
Wait 30 seconds, then push the "RESET" button. Power will be
restored to the spa and the GFCI power indicator will turn on.
If the GFCI fails to operate in this manner, your spa may have an
electrical malfunction, and you may be risking electrical shock. Turn off
all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been corrected
by an authorized service agent.
WARNING: Removal of the GFCI from the spa's power cord will
result in an unsafe spa and will void the spa's warranty.
IMPORTANT: Should you ever find the need to move or relocate
your HOT SPRING spa, it is essential that you understand and apply
these installation requirements. Your HOT SPRING spa has been
carefully engineered to provide maximum safety against electric shock.
Remember, connecting the spa to an improperly wired circuit will
negate many of its safety features.
