4.2 Indoor Location
For indoor installations, be certain to make provisions for proper
ventilation. When the spa is in use, considerable amounts of moisture
will escape. This can damage certain surfaces over time. If you have
any questions regarding the placement or installation of your spa,
consult your authorized Jacuzzi dealer.
WARNINg: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce
the risk of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be
present in the air or water. Consult a licensed architect
or building contractor to determine your specific needs if
installing your spa indoors.
5.0 gENERAL ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art” equipment
system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equip-
ment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to
insure dependable usage. Please contact your dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped
with a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided
on the surface of the control box, located outside the equipment door
(Figure B, page 12) to permit connection of a bonding wire between
this point and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried
within 5 feet (1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8
AWG (8.4mm2) solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assur-
ance feature. Before installing this spa, check with the local building
department to insure installation conforms to local building codes.

A spa connected to a 120VAC electrical service must be located close
enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the
included power cord can be plugged directly into it. Do NoT USE
AN EXTENSIoN CoRD as this could cause damage to the spa’s
equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa
must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing
the power provided by the circuit.
