240V GFCI and Wiring Requirements

All 5100 and 6200 control systems are set at the factory to run on the low power setting for 40 amp operation. This is the default setting. Spa owners can have their installer change this setting so the spa will run on high power for 50 amp operation.

Warning: Never set a spa to run on high power without installing a properly rated GFCI..
