Important Electrical Information

When operating the hot tub on 240V, it is crucial to use a 40 amp GFCI breaker. For 120V use, a GFCI directly into the wire is provided and must only be plugged into a dedicated 15 amp hot tub outlet.
For the conversion to 220V, the user must connect the spa to a 220V 40A (minimum) GFCI breaker and the home electrical panel. The appropriate wire size depends on the distance between the spa and the wall outlet:

• If the spa is more than 50′ from the wall outlet: use a grounded 6 AWG/3 wire.
• If the spa is located within 50′ from the wall outlet: use a grounded 8 AWG/3 wire.

It is strongly recommended to hire a certified electrician to install the GFCI breaker and connect the spa to the house electrical panel. If the spa only operates on a 220V electrical circuit, no conversion is needed for the spa pack. However, if the spa is convertible from 110V to 220V, instructions for the conversion can be found inside the spa pack cover. If there are any questions or concerns, users may contact the service department at info@purspas.com.
