Converting from 115 volts to 230 volts changes the voltage supplied
to the heater from 115-volts to 230 volts. The jet pump will continue to
operate at 115 volts.
Have your licensed electrician wire subpanel from a 50A Main Service, then
from subpanel into the spa's control box using the following illustration or
use the wire diagram on the inside of the control box lid.
IMPORTANT:
The subpanel must be placed in sight of the spa, at a
minimum distance of 5 feet away.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
IMPORTANT: Fill the spa with water before turning on the power
• Once your spa has been filled with water, turn it on and test all the
circuit breakers.
Each breaker should be tested prior to each use. Here's how:
1. Push the "TEST" button on each GFCI breaker, and observe it click
off.
2. Wait 30 seconds, then push the breaker switch to the OFF (down)
position (to ensure that it has completely disengaged), then push the
breaker switch to the ON (up) position. If you don't wait 30 seconds,
the spa's power indicator may continue to blink – try again.
If any of the GFCI breakers fails to operate in this manner, your spa may
have an electrical malfunction, and you may be risking electrical shock.
Turn off all circuits and do not use the spa until the problem has been
corrected by an authorized service agent.
IMPORTANT: Service Technician must reconfigure spa using the soft
jumpers to allow spa heater to run concurrent with jet pump.
