120 Volt Electrical Installation

Preparing forYour New Portable

Always follow applicable local, state and federal codes and guidelines.

Use only a dedicated electrical line with a 20 amp breaker.

Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord longer than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged into a dedicated 20 amp GFCI connection (NEC 680.42(A) (2)). Do not use extension cords!

Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle. Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5

m)from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))

Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes damaged, replace it before next usage.

All 120V spas must have a GFCI. This can be either a 20 amp GFCI receptacle or a 20 amp GFCI cord and plug kit as shown (CKIT110 - P/N ELE09700086).

Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should already be plugged in and operational.)

1.Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will stop operating.

2.Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI will reset and the spa will turn back on.

The spa is now safe to use.

If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the spa and call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO NOT USE THE SPA!

240 Volt Electrical Installation

All 240V spas must be permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply. See the wiring diagram on page 7.

These instructions describe the only acceptable electrical wiring procedure.. Spas wired in any other way will void your warranty and may result in serious injury..

When installed in the United States, the electrical wiring of this spa must meet the requirements of National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-2008 and any applicable local, state, and federal codes.

The electrical circuit must be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by a local building or electrical inspector..

Failure to comply with state and local codes may result in fire or personal injury and will be the sole responsibility of the spa owner..

Use the table on the next page to determine your GFCI and wiring requirements.

When NEC requires the use of wires larger than #6 AWG, install a junction box near the spa and use #6 AWG wire between the junction box and the spa.

Wire runs over 85 feet must increase wire gauge to the next lower number. For example: A normal 50 amp GFCI with four #8 AWG Copper wires run over 85 feet would require you to go to four #6 AWG copper wires.

Read and follow the heater manufacturer’s safety and installation instructions prior to installation and operation. Incorrect installation may damage the heater and void its warranty.

Testing the GFCI Breaker

Test the GFCI breaker prior to first use and periodically when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI breaker follow these instructions (spa should be operating):

GFCI and Wiring Requirements

The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated GFCI protected circuit as required by ANSI/NFPA 70 with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.

Use copper wire with THHN insulation. Do not use aluminum wire.

1.Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.

2.Reset the GFCI breaker by switching the breaker to the full OFF position, wait a moment, then turn the breaker back on. The spa should have power again.
