Electrical Hot Tub Installation

Exclusive summary about Electrical Hot Tub Installation By Keith Hall

Let us start with the house and the hot tub on a slab. The power to the hot tub is required to be Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter protected (NEC 680.22 –A5). The conduit then runs back into the ground and out to the hot tub where it re-emerges from the ground. The power feed into the hot tub is usually on the left side of the unit facing the removable access panel. Some units have built in PVC flex conduit leading to the power panel.

Wire selection

Now comes the fun part, pulling in the power wire. Most of the large units require 50 Amps of 240 Volt power. From the main panel to GFCI then GFCI to hot tub. Next is Spa Pack to hot tub. The four runs of wire are:

120 V -- Black

120 V -- Red

Neutral -- White

Ground -- Green

Inside of the hot tub control panel they are very good about identifying where each wire goes. It is also time to start filling the hot tub. The wires from the panel attach to the ground bar (green) neutral bar (white) and the breaker feed lugs (black and red).

When the tub is full of water then you can turn on the main breaker, the GFCI breaker and start the hot tub from its operating panel.

Hot Tub Installation

Exclusive summary about Hot Tub Installation By Lester Donovan

A hot tub is a fantastic addition to the home that provides recreation and therapeutic values. Some homeowners want the tub inside to avoid going outside during inclement weather.

Sub-zero weather does not preclude them from utilizing their tub during the winter. Inside installations present difficulties with moisture and musty chlorine odors.

Hot tubs are well insulated and have an insulated top (cover) to retain the heat. The difference in the heating cost of an outside installation and inside installation is very little. Most tubs are small for their design capacity. For example, a five member tub will only comfortably sit four adults. You certainly can install a hot tub yourself. Most dealers provide delivery and installation services. When selecting your tub compare prices from different suppliers and the many accessories offered.
