Electrical Set-up Before
Delivery of Your Spa
When installed internationally, the electrical wiring of
the spa must meet the requirements of any applicable
national, state or local codes. The electrical circuit must
be installed by an electrical contractor and approved by
a local building / electrical inspector.
All 230V spas must be permanently connected (hard
wired) to the power supply. Supplying power to a spa
that is not in accordance with these instructions will
void both the independent testing agency listing and
the manufacturer's warranty.
The power supplied to the spa must be on a dedicated
RCD protected circuit with no other appliances or lights
sharing the power.
To determine the current, voltage, and wire size
required for the spa configuration to be connected,
refer to the following:
•
Wire size must comply with applicable local, state,
and national codes.
•
Wire size is determined by length of run from
breaker box to spa and maximum current draw.
•
We recommend copper wire with THHN insulation
or equivalent.
•
All wiring must be copper to ensure adequate
connections. Do not use aluminum wire.

Preparing for Your New Portable Spa
•
When code requires the use of wires larger than
#6 (10mm²), install a junction box near the spa and
use #6 (10mm²) wire between the junction box and
the spa.
IMPORTANT: A clearly labeled emergency shutoff
or control switch for the purpose of disconnecting
all electrical power to the spa including the motors,
recirculation system and jet system(s) shall be installed
at a point readily accessible to the users and not less
than 1.5 meters away, adjacent to, and within sight of
the spa or as applicable per national code.
230 Volt Electrical Installation
All 230V spas are required to have a residual current
device (RCD) breaker and should only be wired by a
licensed electrician. To ensure proper wiring of your
RCD, follow the wiring diagram on the next page.
Always follow applicable local, state, and federal codes
and guidelines.

Your new 230V Cal Spa™ requires a dedicated
20-Amp RCD Service with three #10 AWG copper
wires. This will include a BROWN load wire for your
incoming power, a BLUE wire for your neutral, and
a GREEN/YELLOW wire for your ground.
