n most cities and counties, permits will be required for the installation of electrical circuits or the construction of exterior surfaces (decks and gazebos). In addition, some communities have adopted residential barrier codes which may require fencing and/or self-closing gates on the property to prevent unsupervised access to a pool (or spa) by children

under 5 years of age. Your Hot Spring

Spa is equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers and as a result, is usually exempt from most barrier requirements. As a general practice, your local Building Department will inform you of any applicable barrier requirements at the time a permit is obtained for the installation of an electrical circuit. Your Hot Spring

Spa dealer can provide information on which permits may be required.

Congratulations on your decision to enjoy the finest spas available... Welcome to the growing family of Hot Spring

Spa owners.

The following instructions are required to be printed by Underwriters Laboratories as a condition of their listing of this product. They contain important safety information, and we strongly encourage you to read and apply them.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WHEN INSTALLING AND USING THIS ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS SHOULD ALWA YS BE FOLLOWED, INCLUDING THE FOLLOWING:

1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2A. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless closely supervised at all times. 2B. DANGER: RISK OF CHILD DROWNING. Extreme caution must be exercised to prevent unauthorized access by children. To avoid accidents, ensure that

children cannot use the spa or hot tub unless they are supervised at all times.

115 VOLT, CORD AND PLUG CONNECTED MODELS

3A. DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. Connect only to a grounded source. 3B. Do not bury the power cord. 3C. WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, replace a damaged cord immediately.

4. A ground terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the surface of the control box inside the equipment compartment. This connector should be bonded with a minimum No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm

) solid copper wire between this unit and any metal ladders, metal water pipes, metal enclosures of electrical equipment, conduit or metal equipment within five feet (1.5 m) of the spa. If the spa is located on a reinforced concrete pad, the reinforced steel should also be bonded to the ground terminal.

5. WARNING: Your spa is equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) on the end of the power supply cord. Before each use of the spa, with the plug connected to the power supply and the unit operating, push the “Test” button. The unit should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator will go out. Wait 30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the “Reset” button. The GFCI power indicator will turn on, restoring power to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been identified and corrected.

NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.

230 VOLT, PERMANENTLY INSTALLED OR CONVERTED MODELS

6. A ground terminal is provided on the terminal block (TB-1, terminal 7) located inside the control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal to the grounding terminal of your electrical service or supply panel with a continuous green, insulated copper wire. The wire must be equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying the equipment. In addition, a bonding terminal (pressure wire connector) is provided on the outside of the control box for bonding to local ground points. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this connector should be bonded with a No. 8 AWG (8.42 mm

) solid copper wire to any

metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the spa to comply with local requirements.

7. Your spa uses ground fault circuit interrupters in the electrical subpanel. Before each use of the spa and with the unit operating, push the Test button on each breaker. The switch should click over to the “Trip” position. Wait 30 seconds and reset each GFCI breaker by switching it completely off and then completely on. The switch should then stay on. If either of the interrupters does not perform in this manner, it is an indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric shock. Disconnect the power until the fault has been identified and corrected.

NOTE: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI may cause the spa’s Power Indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.

ALL SPA MODELS

8. Install the spa so proper drainage is provided for the compartment containing the electrical components.

9. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Install the spa at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from all metal surfaces. (A spa may be installed within 5 feet of metal surfaces if, in accordance with the National Electric Code ANSI/NMFPA70 - 1993, each metal surface is permanently connected to a minimum No. 8 (8.42 mm2) solid copper conductor attached to the wire bonding connector on the terminal box that is provided for this purpose.)

10. DANGER: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not permit any appliance, such as a light, telephone, radio, or television within five feet (1.5 m) of the spa or hot tub.

11. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury: The water in the spa should never exceed 104°F (40°C). Water temperatures between 100°F (38°C) and 104°F (40°C) are considered safe for a healthy adult.

Lower water temperatures are recommended for extended use (exceeding 10 minutes) and for young children. Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women

should limit spa water temperatures to 100°F (38°C). Before entering a spa, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the tolerance of temperature-regulating devices may

vary as much as ±5°F (3°C). The use of drugs, alcohol, or medication before or during spa use may lead to unconsciousness with the possibility of drowning. Persons suffering from obesity or with a medical history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system problems or diabetes should consult a

physician before using the spa. Persons using medications should consult a physician before using a spa since some medication may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect

heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.

12. DANGER: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY TO PERSONS. Do not remove the suction fittings (filter standpipes) located in the filter compartment!

13. DANGER: RISK OF INJURY. The suction fittings in the spa are sized to match the specific water flow created by the pump. Should the need arise to replace the suction fittings or the pump, be sure that the flow rates are compatible.

14. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. SAFETY SIGN: Each Hot Spring®Spa is shipped with a SAFETY SIGN in the spa’s owner’s package. Underwriters Laboratories recommends this sign be

permanently installed where it is visible to the users of the spa. To obtain additional SAFETY SIGNS, contact your Hot Spring

dealer and request Part # 70798.

Page 3 General Information

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

PERSONAL SAFETY

Prolonged immersion in hot water can result in HYPERTHERMIA, a dangerous condition which occurs when the internal temperature of the body reaches a level above normal (98.6°F). The symptoms of hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and a body temperature above 98.6°F. The physical effects of hyperthermia include unawareness of impending hazard, failure to perceive heat, failure to recognize the need to exit the spa, physical inability to exit the spa, fetal damage in pregnant women, and unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.

WARNING: The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.

Persons taking medications which induce drowsiness such as tranquilizers, antihistamines or anticoagulants should not use the spa. Pregnant women and persons with a medical history of heart disease, diabetes, or high blood pressure should consult a physician before using the spa.

Children are especially sensitive to hot water. At no time should children have unsupervised access to the spa. Children must not be allowed to climb onto the spa cover. All Hot Spring®Spas are equipped with a locking cover that meets the ASTM F1346-91 Standard for Safety Covers. Always lock the child resistant locks after using the spa for your children’s safety.

DO:

• Be sure your spa is connected to the power supply correctly - use a licensed contractor.

• Disconnect the spa from the power supply before draining the spa or servicing the electrical

components.

• Test the Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter(s) monthly.

• Test the water temperature with your hand before entering the spa to be sure that it’s comfortable.

• Remember that wet surfaces can be very slippery. Take care when entering and exiting the spa.

• Use the cover when the spa is not in use, whether it is empty or full.

• Keep the water clean and sanitized with correct chemical care.

• Turn on the 10-minute clean cycle when adding ANY spa water chemicals into the filter compartment.

• Clean the filter cartridges monthly to remove debris and mineral buildup which may affect the

performance of the hydromassage jets, limit the flow, or trip the high limit thermostat which will turn off the entire spa.

DON’T:

• Use the spa with the equipment compartment door removed.

• Use the spa for long periods of time at water temperatures in excess of 104°F.

• Allow the jet pump(s) to operate for extended periods of time with the cover in place. Extended pump

operation will cause a slow heat buildup due to water friction. The spa equipment controls are equipped with a built-in safety timer that will automatically shut off the jet pump after two hours of continuous operation should it have been left on inadvertently.

• Operate the spa at any time with the filter cartridges removed.

• Lift or drag the cover by using the coverlock straps; always lift or carry the cover by using the handles.

• Store chemicals in the spa’s equipment compartment.

• Hesitate to call your Hot Spring

Spa representative with any questions or maintenance problems.

III. INSTALLA TION INSTRUCTIONS

SITE PREPARATION

ou probably have a spot picked out for your new spa, whether it’s indoors or outdoors, on a patio or on a deck. Just make sure you check the following:

• Always put your spa on a structurally sound, level surface. A filled spa can weigh a great deal. Make

certain that the location you choose can support the weight.

• Don’t forget to level your spa before filling it. (See Spa Leveling Instructions included with Owner’s

Packet.)

• Be sure to locate your equipment compartment, which houses all of the electrical components, in a

place where water drainage will be away from it. Allowing water into the equipment compartment can cause damage to the electronics, or may result in tripping the circuit breaker on your house’s electrical panel.

• Leave yourself easy access to the circuit breakers in the subpanel (230 volt models), or to the

interrupter switch on the end of the power cord (115 volt models).

• Never let water into the subpanel (230 volt models), into the interrupter switch (115 volt models), or

into the electrical outlet into which your spa is plugged. Your 115 volt Hot Spring

Spa comes with a protective box designed to keep out rain and water from sprinkler systems. Your 230 volt spa’s subpanel is raintight when installed correctly with the door closed. Periodically check these conditions and correct any flaws if detected.

• Leave access to the equipment compartment for periodic spa care and maintenance.

OUTDOOR AND PATIO INSTALLATION

o matter where you put your new spa, it’s important that it has a solid foundation to support it. In fact, structural damage to the spa resulting from incorrect installation or placement on an inadequate

foundation is not covered under the spa’s limited warranty. If you install the spa outdoors, we recommend a reinforced concrete pad at least four inches thick. The

reinforcing rod or mesh in the pad should be attached to a bond wire (see page 2, item 4). If you place the spa on the ground, even temporarily, place stepping stones under the leveling areas (see Spa

Leveling Instructions). The stones should be at least two inches thick and twelve inches square. Even with stones in place, the spa will inevitably settle and become unlevel. Plus, a spa surrounded by dirt or grass will soon be filled with dirt or grass from users’ feet. So get it onto a solid foundation as soon as possible.

DECK INST ALLATION

o be certain your deck can support your spa, you must know the deck’s maximum load capacity. Consult

a qualified building contractor or structural engineer. To find the weight of your spa, its contents and occupants, refer to the Spa Specification chart on page 4. This weight per square foot must not exceed the structure’s rated capacity, or serious structural damage could result.

INDOOR INST ALLATION

e aware of some special requirements if you place your spa indoors. Water will hit the floor around the

spa, which can cause poor footing, so flooring materials should give your feet good grip when wet, and good drainage is essential. Water may also get into woodwork and produce dryrot, mildew, or other problems. The area’s humidity will naturally be higher with the spa installed, so check for airborne moisture’s effects on exposed wood, paper, etc. in the room. To minimize these effects and to make the room more comfortable, it is best to provide plenty of ventilation to the spa area. An architect can help to determine if more ventilation must be installed. Additionally, when building a new room for the spa, install a floor drain to allow easy cleanup of water and disposal of water when draining the spa.

Hot Spring

Spas are equipped with a jet pump shroud to remove excessive heat from the equipment compartment. Find this vent (it’s under a corner of wood-skirted models, and directly below the equipment compartment of Classic

spa models) and be sure the vent is not blocked by anything, including carpeting.

Your Hot Spring

Spa dealer can help you with local information such as zoning regulations and building

codes. He can also give you a copy of our planning guide–just ask for Hot Spring

Spa Pre-Delivery

Instructions.

Page 5 Installation Instructions

Warning!

Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends that the Hot Spring

Spa be installed above ground. Lowering the top of the spa to ground level, or employing decking which raises standing level toward the top of the spa substantially increases the hazard of accidental entry. Consult a licensed building contractor to design or evaluate your custom decking requirements.

HOT SPRING®SPAS MUST BE WIRED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES. ALL ELECTRICAL WORK SHOULD BE DONE BY AN EXPERIENCED, LICENSED ELECTRICIAN. WE RECOMMEND THE USE OF APPROPRIATE ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, FITTINGS AND WIRE FOR ALL CIRCUITS.

An electrical subpanel containing two GFCI breakers is included with each 230 volt spa. We recommend that this subpanel be used to supply power and protect the spa.

This subpanel requires a 50 amp, single phase, 230 volt, four wire service (two line, one neutral, one ground). The grounding conductor must be at least the same gauge as the line conductors, but not less than #8 AWG. A minimum #8 AWG solid copper bond wire is also required.

Mount the subpanel in the vicinity of the spa, but not closer than five feet away, in accordance with all local codes. (N.E.C. 680-6c)

INST ALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. To connect the electrical service, first remove the screws from the equipment compartment door. Carefully pull the door panel away and down in order to remove it completely from the spa.

2. Locate the IQ 2000

™

Spa Control Box. Loosen the screws on the front of the control box. Remove the screws and the control box cover.

3. Route the electrical service from the subpanel into the spa equipment compartment. Position the conduit in the recess provided between the frame and door. Install the supply conduit so as not to block the drain valve.

NOTE: The subpanel must be placed in sight of the spa, at a minimum distance of five feet away.

5. Connect the supply conduit to the bottom of the IQ 2000

™

Spa Control Box, using a minimum of

3/4” liquid-tight, flex conduit fittings.

WIRING CONNECTIONS

1. Identify the TB-1 terminal block, located inside the IQ 2000

™

control box at the lower left-hand

corner.

2. Connect the #12 AWG, Blue wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 3.

3. Connect the #12 AWG, Red wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 5.

4. Connect the #12 AWG, White wire, from the subpanel 20 amp breaker, terminal N (load neutral) to TB-1, terminal 6. NOTE: The white neutral wire must be attached to the LOAD neutral on the 230 volt, 20 amp breaker (not to the neutral

bus bar in the subpanel). The white neutral wire coming from the breaker itself is already connected to the neutral bus bar.

5. Connect the #10 AWG, Blue wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L1 to TB-1, terminal 2.

6. Connect the #10 AWG, Red wire, from the subpanel 30 amp breaker, terminal L2 to TB-1, terminal 4.

7. Connect the #8 AWG, Green wire, from the subpanel GROUND bar to TB-1, terminal 7.

8. Using the pressure wire connector provided on the outside of the control box, bond the spa to all exposed metal equipment or fixtures, handrails, and the concrete pad (if applicable) per N.E.C. Article 680 and local codes.

9. Replace the control box cover and securely tighten the fastening screws. Close and secure the equipment compartment door.

WARNING: 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. NOTE: If both breakers immediately trip, verify that the #12 AWG White neutral wire is connected from TB-1 terminal 6 to

the L1 (load neutral) terminal of the 20 amp subpanel breaker. Each breaker should be tested monthly. 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.

WARNING: Removing or bypassing any GFCI breaker will result in an unsafe spa and will void the spa’s warranty. IMPORTANT: Should you ever move your spa, follow these installation instructions completely. NOTE: Long wiring runs may require larger-gauge wire than stated. We recommend using a maximum 3% voltage drop

when calculating wire gauge requirements.

ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR 115 VOLT OPERATION

The spa must be connected to a dedicated 115 volt, 20 amp, GFCI protected, grounded circuit. The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit is not being used or shared for any other electrical items (patio lights, appliances, garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance tripping” at the main panel. This requires frequent resetting of the breaker switch at the house electrical breaker panel and introduces the possibility of damage or failure of spa equipment. The dedicated circuit must be properly wired; that is, it must have a
