Your spa contains a control box designed to operate at 230V, 60Hz. Installation of a 50 amp. dedicated circuit is
required. The control box must be hard
wired directly to a
subpanel protected
by a Ground Fault

(GFCI). The
subpanel containing
GFCI breakers is
included with the
spa.

note:
All electrical
connections to the
control box must be
accomplished by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code and in accordance with any
local electrical codes in effect at the time and place of installation.
All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the wiring information contained in this manual and on
the back of the field wiring access panel of the control box. A licensed electrician should install a four-wire electrical
service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from the main electrical service panel to the subpanel.
Your electrician should mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the spa but it should not be closer than five (5) feet from
the spa water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).

After the spa has been installed, your electrician can connect the conduit from the subpanel
to the spa’s control box and then complete the wiring connections in the control box.

Complete step-by-step
Installation and Wiring Instructions for all models are included in the Owner’s Manual.
