IMPORTANT You must use a 40 amp GFCI when on 240V. For 120V use, a GFCI
directly into the wire is provided and must only be plugged into a dedicated
15 amp hot tub outlet.
DON’T FORGET…
Remove the white cable that joins J11 to J32
– Otherwise, there is a risk of burning out the fuse or amaging the
electronic board.| On the DIP switch, set position 10 down

Do not connect anything in the J1 zone when on the 240V
– Otherwise, risk of overheating of the pump.| Install 3 wire stands
– If the electrician uses 2 wire stands, the spa will continue to operate on
120V.
OZONE GENERATOR INSTALLATION
If you plan to install an ozone generator on the spa, install one that is a
120V. It will only operate during filter cycles. Please not, if you install an
LX56 4.0hp pump, the cord on this pump may be too short to reach the spa pack,
depending upon the spa model. You may need to remove and use the cord from the
original pump.

INFORMATION ON WIRE
ANNEX 2
If you plan to operate your spa using a 220V electrical supply, you will be
required to install a 220V 40A (minimum) GFCI breaker.
You have to connect your spa to this GFCI breaker and your home electrical
panel.
WHICH WIRE TO USE?
- If the spa is more than 50’ from the wall outlet: a grounded 6 AWG/3 wire
- If the spa is located within 50’ from the wall outlet: a grounded 8 AWG/3 wire
Don’t forget, we recommend using a certified electrician to install your GFCI breaker and to connect your spa to your house electrical panel. If your spa only runs on a 220V electrical circuit, no conversion is needed for the spa pack.
If your spa is convertible from 110V to 220V, you will find instructions to convert the spa pack on the inside of the spa pack cover.
