INSTALLATION

Electrical Precautions

CAUTION: Do NOT apply electrical power to the spa unless it is filled with water to the normal water level, which is approximately 7" below the spa rim (refer to location of water level indicator on face of skimmer). If the spa’s motor/pumps are actuated when there is not sufficient water in the unit, the circulation pump could be irreparably damaged. Not heeding this caution will nullify the warranty. In addition to damaging the unit, operating the unit with insufficient water could cause a fire.

Do NOT locate lighting fixtures directly above the spa; lighting and electrical receptacles must be located at least 5 feet from the spa. Lighting located between 5 and 10 feet from the spa must be on a circuit protected by a GFCI. (Refer to National Electrical Code, 680-6.)

Do NOT use electrically connected devices, such as

television, radio, telephones, stereo speakers, light or cooking devices within 5 feet of the spa when the spa is

being used.

All fixed metal objects located within 5 feet of the spa, such as fence posts, railings, door frames, green- house structures, gutters, etc., must be attached to the bonding bar on the outside of the spa electrical cabinet using #8 solid copper wire. With #8 solid copper wire, bond the spa to the house electrical panel or ap- proved local bond.

An approved ground may be an 8 foot long ground rod, a plate electrode, or a buried metal water pipe with at least 10 feet of buried pipe. Check your local building code for requirements. Bonding lugs are available at your local electrical supply store. (Bond bar location is shown below.)

Outdoor Installation

If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend that you provide a concrete pad for it to rest on. To do this, construct forms for a 4" thick level pad. Install a #10 gauge wire mesh 6" x 6" steel reinforced grid. Attach a #8 solid copper wire to the grid with a ground clamp. This wire should be long enough to reach the bond bar on the spa electrical cabinet (minimum 36"), but should NOT be located under the base of the spa. Then pour the concrete pad.

Drainage

Whether you install your spa indoors or outdoors, you can drain it completely by attaching a garden hose to the hose bibb (drain valve) located on the suction plumbing of the spa. Simply run the hose to the house sewer line or drain field and open the hose bibb.

Make sure the area surrounding the spa has good drainage to keep water from collecting at the base of the spa—especially near the equipment area. If drainage is poor, install a drain line and/or gravel drain field. (Refer to illustration below.)

Indoor Installation

Water that splashes on the floor during spa use may cause a walking hazard and/or structural damage. Good drainage must be provided and proper waterproof build- ing materials must be used in the area surrounding and beneath the spa. Take into consideration that high room humidity will exist due to high spa water temperatures. Providing natural or forced ventilation of the room will help maintain comfort and minimize moisture damage to the building. Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath is not respon- sible for damages resulting from excess moisture or water spillage. Consult an architect or engineer for aid in designing your indoor installation.
