Portable Whirlpool spa requires a separate 115VAC 20 AMP capacity electrical supply.
If the wiring for the circuit in which your spa is connected is not sized properly for 20 AMPS, or if the
outlet used is too distant for the main service panel, there may be a considerable voltage drop. Such
a voltage drop would not only cause the unit to malfunction, but it may also cause permanent damage
to the spa's electrical system.
Before operation of your spa, therefore, we recommend that you test the spa's intended electrical
supply circuit for sufficient voltage. To do this, you will need as AC voltage meter and a small electric
appliance rated at 120 (min.)-1600 (max.) watts (a hair dryer or toaster will do). Plug the appliance into
one receptacle and turn it on; take a voltage meter reading from the adjacent receptacle. If the voltage
is measured at 115 VAC (a voltage drop of 5%), or if there is less than the 105V minimum operating
voltage at the receptacle, the electrical is insufficient. The minimum voltage must be maintained during
spa operation.
If your test reveals insufficient electrical supply, several solutions are possible: First, you could have
your electrical supply upgraded and provide a dedicated, properly wired circuit with 10 AMP capability
to be used for the spa only. Second, you can install a transformer which would boost your existing power
to your particular electrical needs for installation of your spa.
