The HotSpring Sovereign, Prodigy, Jetsetter, the Tiger River Sumatran and the HotSpot Square and Round spas will operate from a standard household wall power outlet (230V 10 amp) 3 pin plug. This must be a dedicated circuit (this means that only the spa operates from that outlet). Because of its size, the HotSpring-Grandee requires a 15 amp dedicated 3 pin plug outlet. This can be recognised from the wide earth pin. Any convenient dedicated power outlet less than 10 metres from your spa site may be utilised. It is recommended your Electrician contact us before altering or adding power points.

Caution
See diagram below for electrical exclusion zone. NO Outlets, SWITCHES, LAMP HOLDERS ETC are to be in the exclusion zone unless an electrician has confirmed that they meet code requirements.

If you require a power outlet to be installed, all electrical work should be done by an EXPERIENCED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN, IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODES. Power outlets are to be the "front plug-in" type in order to accept the E.L.C.B. plug from your new spa.

Your electrician should NOT remove the E.L.C.B. supplied with your new spa, OR make any electrical connections within the equipment compartment of the spa.

Never run the spa on an extension cord.

We recommend you test the E.L.C.B. regularly during the course of each year.

WATER DAMAGE to the E.L.C.B. will occur if it is exposed to rainwater, puddles, garden hoses etc. This is not covered by warranty.

Installation of new power outlets
Power outlets must be the Front Plug In type to accept the ELCB plug from the spa.

Locate the power outlet where it is protected from the weather and outside such as using garden hoses. It may be necessary to protect the power outlet and ELCB with a waterproof cover. Waterproof power outlets are sometimes required. If there is no convenient outlet available and one can't be installed out of the weather then a waterproof type outlet will have to be installed. Unfortunately these types of outlets do not accept the ELCB type plug supplied with the spa. The ELCB will therefore have to be removed. The electrician must then install ELCB protection for that power outlet onto the household switchboard or the power socket as the spa is unsafe without an ELCB.

REMOVAL OF THE ELCB MAKES THE SPA UNSAFE. If it is required to fit a weatherproof power outlet (with an ELCB fitted to the switchboard) remember that the spa is only safe in that ELCB protected power outlet. Selling a spa or a house with a spa obligates the owner to inform the new owner that the safety device has been removed and what the dangers are.
An electrician must not make any electrical connections inside the spa equipment compartment.
