Electrical Systems wired by Licensed Professionals

To ensure you will have an opportunity to use your spa soon after delivery, it is very important that the required electrical service has been installed properly by a professional, licensed electrician before arrival of your spa.

IMPORTANT: Electrical connections must be made by a qualified, licensed professional. Please contact a licensed residential electrician for these services.

NOTE: A separate sub-panel must be used to supply power and protect the spa. All models require a 50 amp single phase 240 volt circuit breaker in the main electrical service panel, except for the Orlando, which requires a 60 amp single phase. Clearwater 240 volt spas must be wired in accordance with applicable electrical codes. Electrical work should always be performed by a licensed electrician. A licensed electrician needs to install a four-wire electrical service (two line voltages, one neutral, one ground) from the main electrical panel to the sub-panel, and from the sub-panel to the spa per the wiring diagram on the next page (figure 1-1). The electrician should mount the sub-panel in the vicinity of the spa but not closer than 5 feet from the spa’s water edge (NEC 680-38 to 41-A-3).

WARNING: Removing or bypassing the GFCI breakers in the sub panel at any time will result in an unsafe spa and will void the warranty.

WIRE SPECIFICATION NOTE: Long electrical runs may require a larger gauge feed wire than stated. We recommend that a maximum voltage drop of 3% be used when calculating the larger wire size.

Refer to the Wiring Diagrams (figure 1-1) for the electrical requirements of the 240 volt models.

Do not turn on power to the spa when the tub is not filled.

	The closer you locate the spa to the main service panel, the less money you will have to spend on wire. Wire can become expensive if you run long lengths.
	Always shut off power at the source when working with any electrical power!! Failure to do this could result in serious injury or even death!
