We recommend an electrical subpanel containing a 50 amp GFCI breaker is used to supply power and
protect the spa. This subpanel requires a 50 amp, two pole, single phase, 230 volt, four wire service
(two line, one neuteral, one ground). The grounding conductor must be at least the same gauge as the
line conductors, but not less than #6 AWG stranded (Canada), and #8 AWG solid (USA). A mini-
mum #6 AWG (Canada), and #8 AWG (USA) solid copper bond wire is also required. For bonding
the pad, bonding grid and any metal or electrically live objects accessible to spa accupants. Mount
the subpanel in the vicinity of the spa, but not closer than five feet away, in accordance with all local
codes. A qualified electrician must install the electrical circuit.
