The Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is a safety device that is
designed to detect as little as 5 milliamps (±1mA) of electrical current
leakage to ground. Watkins Manufacturing Corporation recommends
that the GFCI be tested prior to each use to ensure it is functioning
correctly. With the spa connected to the power supply, push the "Test"
button. The spa should stop operating and the GFCI power indicator
will go out. Wait 30 seconds and then reset the GFCI by pushing the
Reset button. The GFCI power indicator will turn on, restoring power
to the spa. If the interrupter does not perform in this manner, it is an
indication of an electrical malfunction and the possibility of an electric
shock. Disconnect the plug from the receptacle until the fault has been
identified and corrected.
IMPORTANT: Failure to wait 30 seconds before resetting the GFCI
may cause the spa’s Power indicator (on the control panel) to blink. If
this occurs, repeat the GFCI test procedure.
Never use the GFCI as a means to disconnect power to the spa
(always unplug it). If the GFCI is tripped while the
spa is plugged in, and a power outage occurs,
when power returns the GFCI will automatically
reset and power will flow to the spa.
115 VOLT OPERATION
(60Hz ONLY)
The spa must be connected to a dedicated 115
volt, 20 amp, GFCI protected, grounded circuit.
The term “dedicated” means the electrical circuit
is not being used or shared for any other electrical items (patio lights,
appliances, garage circuits, etc.). If the spa is connected to a non-
dedicated circuit, overloading will result in “nuisance tripping” at the
main panel. This requires frequent resetting of the breaker switch at
the house electrical breaker panel and introduces the possibility of
damage or failure of spa equipment. The dedicated circuit must be
properly wired; that is, it must have a 20-amp GFCI circuit breaker in
the house breaker panel, #12 AWG or larger wire (including the ground
wire) and the correct polarity throughout the circuit.
NEVER CONNECT THE SPA TO AN
EXTENSION CORD!
A pressure wire connector
is provided on the exterior
surface of the control box,
inside the spa. This is to
permit the connection of a
ground bonding wire between
this point and any metal
equipment, enclosures,
reinforced concrete pad, pipe,
or conduit within 5 feet of
the spa (if needed to comply
with local building code
requirements). The bonding
wire must be at least a
#10-AWG solid copper wire.
Bond the spa to all exposed
metal equipment or fixtures,
handrails, and concrete pad
per N.E.C. Article 680 and all
local codes.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
All 115 volt HOT SPRING spa models come equipped with
approximately 15 feet of useable power cord (this is the maximum
length allowed by Underwriters Laboratory and the National Electric
Code). When the spa is installed, the power cord will come out of the
System Ground Terminal

IMPORTANT!
THE EXACT PHYSICAL LOCATION OF THE TERMINALS ON THE GFCI BREAKER
WILL VARY BETWEEN MANUFACTURERS. CONNECTING THE HOT WIRE TO THE
NEUTRAL TERMINAL WILL CAUSE IRREVERSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL BOX.
** Refer to NEC 250-122 (table)
*PROVIDED WITH HOT TUB.
IMPORTANT: ALL WIRING SHOULD BE COPPER.
NOTE: The wire connections to GFCI breakers are for reference only. Always ensure the white neutral wire is connected to the load neutral of the 20 amp breaker.
I have a 2001 prodigy and the circulation pump doesn’t seem to come on. And now cold weather the jets poor out very cold water. What could this be?
