Damage caused by inadequate or improper
foundation support is not covered by the war-
ranty.
It is the responsibility of the spa owner to provide a
proper foundation for the spa.
We strongly recommended that you have a qualied,
licensed contractor prepare the foundation for your
spa.
Preparing a Good Foundation
Place the spa on a level concrete slab not less than
3” / 8 cm thick. If you are installing the spa indoors,
pay close attention to the ooring beneath it. Choose
ooring that will not be damaged or stained.
If you are installing your spa on an elevated wood
deck or other structure, consult a structural engineer
or a contractor to ensure the structure will support
the weight of 150 pounds per square foot.
The spa is equipped with a 15 amp GFCI cord and
plug kit.
Plug the spa into a dedicated electrical line with a 15
amp breaker.
Always use a weatherproof-covered receptacle. Re-
ceptacle shall be located not less than 5 feet (1.5
m) from and not exceeding 10 feet (3.0 m) from the
inside wall of the spa (NEC 680.43(A)).
Do not use extension cords. Using an extension cord
will void your warranty.
Do not bury the power cord. If your cord becomes
damaged, replace it before next usage.
If you need to replace your cord, replace it with a 15
amp GFCI connection. The cord may not be longer
than 15 feet (4.6 m).
Testing the GFCI
Test the GFCI plug prior to rst use and periodically
when the spa is powered. To test the GFCI plug ver-
sion, follow these instructions. (Spa should already
be plugged in and operational.)
Press the TEST button on the GFCI. The GFCI 1.
will trip and the spa will stop operating.
Press the RESET button on the GFCI. The GFCI 2.
will reset and the spa will turn back on.
The spa is now safe to use.
If the GFCI trips while the spa is in use, press the
RESET button. If the GFCI does not reset, unplug the
spa and call your local Cal Spas dealer for service. DO
NOT USE THE SPA!
