IMPORTANT NOTICE: The electrical wiring of this spa must meet
the requirements of the National Electrical Code/USA (NEC) and any
applicable state or local codes. The electrical circuit must be installed
by a qualified electrician and approved by a local building/electrical
inspection authority.
1. Convertible 120/240V Denali/Tacoma Models Only:
•
120V “Plug-in” Operation: This spa must operate on the
supplied 10 foot (3m) 120V GFCI cord at its original length
or must be hard-wired for longer runs. NEVER USE AN
EXTENSION CORD FOR ANY REASON!
•
Convertible 120/240V Heater Operation: The included 120V
GFCI cord must be discarded for 240V heater operation.
This spa must be hard-wired. Supplying power to either
configuration above which is not in accordance with these
instructions will void both the independent testing agency
listing and the manufacturer’s warranty.

This spa must be permanently connected (hard-wired) to the
power supply. No plug-in connections or extension cords are to
be used in conjunction with the operation of this spa. Supplying
power to the spa which is not in accordance with these
instructions will void both the independent testing agency listing
and the manufacturer’s warranty.
3. The power supplied to this spa must be a dedicated circuit with
no other appliances or lights sharing the power provided by the
circuit.
4. To determine the current, voltage and wire size required, refer
to Section 5.0 “Power Requirements” (pages 10-12).
• Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local codes.
• We recommend type THHN wire.
•
All wiring must be copper to ensure proper connections. Do
not use aluminum wire.
• When using wire larger than #6 (10 mm²), add a junction
box near the spa and reduce to short lengths of #8
(8.4 mm²) wire to connect to the spa.
