5.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with the J-1000™
system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-
protective equipment in the industry. Nonetheless, this spa
must be installed properly to ensure dependable usage.
Please contact your local Jacuzzi dealer or local building
department should you have any questions regarding your installation.
Proper grounding is extremely important. Jacuzzi spas are equipped with
a current collector system. A pressure wire connector is provided on the
surface of the control box, located inside the equipment door (Figure
B, page 13) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point
and any ground metal equipment, metal water pipe or conduit within 5
feet (1.5m) of the spa, or copper clad grounding rod buried within 5 feet
(1.5m) of the spa. Bonding wire must be at least No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm²)
solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature.
Before installing your spa, check with your local building department to
ensure installation conforms to local building codes.
