WARNING: In addition to maintenance of filters and water
chemistry, proper ventilation is recommended to reduce the risk
of exposure to viruses and bacteria that could be present in the
air or water. Consult a licensed architect or building contractor to
determine your specific needs if installing your spa indoors.
4.0 General Electrical Safety Instructions
Your new Jacuzzi® spa is equipped with the “state-of-the-art” Sentry™ equip-
ment system. It contains the most advanced safety and self-protective equip-
ment 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
10 ) to permit
connection of a bonding wire between this point and any ground metal equip-
ment, 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 (8.4mm²) 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.
