240 Volt Electrical Installation 240 Volt Electrical Installation
Note: These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure. Spas wired in any other
way will void your warranty and may result in serious injury. The electrical circuit must be installed by an
electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector. Failure to comply with state
and local codes may result in a fire or personal injury, and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner.
All 240V spas must be permanently connected (Hard Wired) to the power supply. When installed in the
united states, the electrical wiring of the spa must meet the requirements of the NEC 70 and any applicable
local, state, and federal codes. The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated GFCI protected cir-
cuit as required by the NEC 70 with no other appliances to lights sharing the power. Use copper wire with
THHN insulation. DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE. Copper wire must be used for your GFCI circuit, wires that
run over 100 feet must increase the wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: a normal 50 amp
GFCI with four #6 AWG Wire must increase wire gauge size to the next lower number, in this example #6
AWG to #4 AWG if the circuit is longer than 100 feet, would require four #4 AWG copper wires.
