2.1 Electrical Specifications

SAFETY COMES FIRST. WHEN INSTALLING & USING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST ALWAYS BE FOLLOWED!

  1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS

  2. Electrical installation must be completed by a qualified electrician in accordance with all National, Regional and Local Codes and Regulations in effect at the time of installation.

  3. Connect only to a dedicated circuit protected by a class 'A' two-pole ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)

  4. Use copper conductors only!

  5. The swim spa equipment and all electrical plugs, outlets and lights within 1.5m (5ft) of the unit must be G.FC.I protected. Consult your electrician or local electrical authority for further details.

  6. A green colored terminal or a terminal marked "G" "GR, "Ground” or “Grounding" is located inside the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal must be connected to the grounding by means provided in the electric supply service panel with a continuous copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment.

  7. At least two lugs marked "BONDING LUGS" are provided on the external surface or on the inside of the supply terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect the local common bonding grid in the area of the swim spa to these terminals with an insulated or bare copper conductor not smaller than No.6 AWG (Canada/Europe) / No.8 AWG (USA).

  8. All field installed metal components such as rails, ladders, drains or other similar hardware within 3 m (10 ft) of the hot tub shall be bonded to the equipment grounding bus with copper conductors not smaller than No.6 AWG.

 

2.2 Wiring Size

Please consult your applicable electrical codes related to the size of the breakers and the wire. Take into consideration the length of the cable and increase as required.

2.3 GFCI Installation

Installation of the GFCI - Circuit Breaker, including ampere sizing and selection of conductor size and type, must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code, or the Canadian Electrical Code, and all Federal, State/Provincial and local codes and regulations in effect at the time of installation.

Hydropool highly recommentds the use of a new GFCI breaker for all its products. Older GFCI's may have tripping issues.
