Prepare for Your New Spa
Prepare for Your New Spa
Most cities and counties require permits for exte-
rior construction and electrical circuits. In addition,
some communities have codes requiring residential
barriers such as fencing and/or self-closing gates on
property to prevent unsupervised access to the
property by children. See codes, page 7. Your local
code enforcement officer can provide information
on which permits may be required and how to ob-
tain them prior to the delivery of your spa.
Prepare a Good Foundation
Damage caused by an inadequate or improper
foundation is not covered by the warranty. The
spa owner is responsible for providing a proper
foundation. Place the spa on a solid, level founda-
tion. If you are installing the spa indoors (not rec-
ommended), pay close attention to the flooring
beneath it. Choose flooring that will not be dam-
aged or stained. If you are installing your spa on an
elevated wood deck or other structure, consult a
structural engineer or a contractor to ensure the
structure will support the weight of 150 pounds per
square foot. An adequate drainage system has to be
provided to deal with overflow water.
Plan the Best Location
SAFETY FIRST
Do not place your spa within 10 feet (3 m)
of overhead power lines.
Consider Spa Use
How you intend to use your spa will help you
determine where you should position it. For exam-
ple, will you use your spa for recreational or thera-
peutic purposes? If your spa is mainly used for family
recreation, be sure to leave plenty of room around
it for activity. If you will use it for relaxation and
therapy, you will probably want to create a specific
mood around it.
Climate, Privacy and View
Place the spa near a house entry if you live in a
snowy or rainy environment so you have a place to
comfortably change clothes. Consider seasonal
changes, too. Bare trees don’t provide much privacy.
And don’t forget to think of your neighbors’ view of
you, and your view of your neighbors.
Keep Your Spa Clean
In planning your spa’s location, consider a location
where there is a clean path to and from the house.
Use a mat at the spa’s entrance to encourage
bathers to clean their feet before entering your spa.
Allow for Service Access
If you are installing your spa near a wall or with any
type of structure on the outside, such as a gazebo,
remember to allow a minimum of 18” access for
service.

120 Volt Electrical
Installation
(Plug & Play models
only)
(North America 60hZ)
Always follow applicable local, state and
federal codes and guidelines.
• On existing dedicated* electrical service, a 15A
breaker will work with no other appliances/acces-
sories on that line.
•
•
On new electrical service, usage of a 20A breaker
on a dedicated* line is recommended with no
other appliances/accessories on that line.
Cord-and-plug connections may not use a cord
longer than 15 feet (4.6 m) and must be plugged
into a dedicated 15A GFCI connection (NEC
680.42(A)
• Do not use extension cords!
• Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle.
•
•
Receptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet
(1.5 m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m)
from the inside wall of the spa. (NEC 680.43(A))
Do not bury the power cord. If your cord be-
comes damaged, replace it before next usage.
• All 120V spas come with a GFCI cord installed.
•Test the GFCI plug prior to first use and periodi-
cally when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI
plug version, follow these instructions. (Spa should
already be plugged in and operational.)
1. Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI will
trip and the spa will stop operating.
2. Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI
will reset and the spa will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
• If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the
RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug
the spa and call your local spa dealer for service.

120V to 240 V
Conversion
(Plug & Play Models
only)
(North America 60hZ)
Some spa owners choose to have their spa con-
verted from 120V operation to 240V operation for
greater energy efficiency.
ARNING: The electrical circuit must
!be installed by a licensed electrical con-
tractor and approved by a local building
or electrical inspector. Customer must provide a
disconnect in the fixed wiring.
Failure to comply with state and local codes
may result in fire or personal injury and will be
the sole responsibility of the spa owner.
The steps to converting your spa from 120V
to 240V operation are shown below and must
be completed by a licensed electrician.
Power supply installation must include a properly
rated GFCI circuit breaker. The circuit must be dedi-
cated and should not be shared with any other ap-
pliances. It should be labeled and easily accessible to
users. The power supply must be hard wired into
the power pack. A hole may be drilled through the
spa cabinet near the electrical pack to accommo-
date wiring. Foam insulation may be sprayed around
the hole to fill any gaps between the cabinet and the
wiring.
Step 1.
Remove power
from the spa
Step 2.
Disconnect jumper
from WHT AC.
Step 3.
Disconnect other end of same
jumper from RED AC.
DO NOT DISCONNECT ANY OTHER
JUMPERS!
Note: All connectors in WHT AC are
interchangeable and the same is true of
all connections in RED AC.

PLEA E CHECK YOUR LOCAL BUILDING CODE AND ONLY U E A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN TO
IN TALL ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT TO YOUR PA.
Step 4.
Turn Dip switch #10 off (down).
All other Dip switches should remain
the same unless mode change is to be
enabled.
Mode change VS300FL4
Mode change VS501Z
Step 7.
After all other steps have been
completed, follow all instructions
for a 240 volt install.
Step 5. (optional)
Enable mode change.
A plug and play spa comes from the
factory locked in standard mode so
that the mode cannot be changed. To
enable mode change, a dip switch
must be turned to the off (down)
position. Depending on the model of
spa pack within the spa, the specific
dip switch that would need to be
changed will vary. If you have a
VS501z spa pack, you will turn dip
switch 2 off (down). If you have a
VS300 spa pack you will turn dip
switch 7 off (down).
Step 6.
Remove 120 volt GFCI cord.
A plug and play spa comes from the
factory with 120 volt GFCI cord
installed. To hook the spa up to 240
volts, the 120 volt GFCI cord must
first be removed.
