Do not install a GFCI breaker in the main electrical panel. The further away a GFCI is installed from the spa, the higher the risk of false tripping or resetting of the GFCI breaker. We only recommend the use of the Square D GFCI breaker.
Before each use of your spa, you should check the GFCI. During this test, the spa should be operational.
3.Press the test button on the GFCI. The GFCI will trip and the spa will shut off.
4.Wait 30 seconds and reset the GFCI breaker by turning the breaker off then back on. Your spa will be operational in about five seconds.
Your spa is now safe to use.
