2005 Pre-Delivery Instructions
Please take the time to read this booklet carefully, as it will provide you with the information you will need to ensure
the safe, secure, and timely installation of your new spa. The following sections are guidelines on how to prepare for
delivery and set-up of your new spa. Specifically covered are site selection, delivery access, ground preparation,
and electrical requirements.
Remember to carefully read the Owner's Manual that accompanies your spa, and to complete the warranty card
within 10 days of delivery. These items, along with other valuable information, will be found in the Owner's Package
which has been placed in the equipment compartment of your spa, where you will also find its serial number.
Watkins Manufacturing Corporation reserves the right to change features, specifications and design without
notification and without incurring any obligation.

In most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of
exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which
may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by
children under 5 years of age. Your Hot Spot spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91
Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice,
your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is
obtained for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Hot Spot dealer can provide information on which permits
may be required.

    ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS SELECTING THE VOLTAGE FOR YOUR SPA Your spa is designed to operate at either 115 or 230 volts, 60 Hz unless it is the Mallorca ® model which requires a 230 volt power supply. When the spa is connected to 115 volts, the heater will provide approximately 1000 watts of heat only when the pump is operating in LOW speed and the thermostat is calling for heat.

    ** Refer to NEC 250-122 (table) NOTE: The wire connections to GFCI breakers are for reference only. *PROVIDED WITH MALLORCA SPA ONLY. NOTE: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE COPPER. IMPORTANT: All electrical circuits must be installed by a qualified, licensed electrician. When converting your spa from 115 volts to 230 volts, the power jumper between line two and neutral on the terminal block inside the control box must be removed.
