As alway Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING.
I know this is an older video, but you just helped a pregnant lady hook up her spa after the warranty replacement team left me with a new spa but didn’t plug it in. Saved me from having to hire someone! Thank you!!!
Yes it is an old video but the Info is the best and the SpaMan goes above and beyond to help everyone get there spa up and running..We are so glad he works for us. Glad we are able to help ... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
just got a free used 2003 calspa and you have been such a huge help ( basically my free electrician) thanks so much man, my wife is super happy.
That is so cool. Glad to help Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
After watching ten videos of crap I finally found one that actually wires the whip to the tub. Great job exactly what I was looking for
Scott! Your awesome, you explain every single step! If someone who watches your videos and can’t follow ….then they should hire someone- I for one have had 3 estimates to run wire and hook up my soon to be hot tub- estimates from $2890-$4500 was way out of my budget- I’ve learned so much from your videos that I will be running my own wire- and hooking up my own hot tub. I have hooked up basic wall plugs know I can do this- I’m a 60 year old gal. I’m a new subscriber and will continue to follow your videos- thank you so much for taking your time in helping so many. 👍🏻❤️
You made my day...Good for You. Everything you said was the reason I started doing these videos.Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thank you for your advice on the reducing washers! This solution was illusive.
Thanks for the great video, I went from being a little skeptical from finishing it myself to confident it is as easy as it looks!!!!
Learned a new trick! Curl the wire around... I have never thought to do that! Thanks
Thank you so much for donating your time for the benefit of others.
Our pleasure!
Thank you for taking the time and sharing you knowledgeable
Curl the wire around... I have never thought to do that! Thanks
This was the best video showing all the steps, it is like taking a refresher course. Thank you.
You are Welcome. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
You are the Best!! Thank you!
Hot tub man you do grate job on explaining wiring the panels in the hot tubs watch three videos and you answered all my questions this is my first hot tub and it's used so I'm fixing Jets make sure it works before I fix jazz but you are very helpful actually extremely helpful
Well done sir.
Great series. I've watched these two or three times and get something extra each time! I've done a fair amount of wiring but not a spa or an outdoor panel box with liquid tight conduit. Super helpful!! Thanks again!!
Thank you so much. I was wondering how I was going to seal that hole up on the side. Very helpful video..
Thank you so much for your reply and answer I will have to get a new water tight hose seen a cut the other one and a half but I might be able to get a 90 attached to the balboa controller and get it in there that way , again thank you
Incredibly helpful video! Thank you for taking the time and energy to show and explain in detail. Cheers!!
Great series. Very thorough!
Thank You...
Thx. Very helpful video
Glad It Helped...Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Great video
Thank You
great info.. just hooked one up in 40 degree weather.. man was the sealtight and wire stiff.. you make it look easy :)
Glad to help ... when I did the video I think it was around 100 degrees in AZ ... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
In Canada seal tight is up to code , We need to use Tech Armour Cable . Mice like to chew through any plastic and that is not good. Our last cables you can see like 6 inches by 1 chewed off.
Scott - thanks for the videos. They are very helpful. I will be doing my own hot tub install based on the info you have shared. I think it would be great if you can do a video on basic chemicals and water maintenance.
I am in the process of doing a series on Chemicals and Maintenance... Should be done soon.Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
This is GOLD! Great style!
Ha ha ha I saw that black wire sneak out after you tightened the screw.
#6 wire is just a pain in the BUT to work with sometimes... (Good Catch.. Most viewers would of missed it) Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
I enjoyed watching your video. I’m curious where is part 4
it was posted just after this one was posted.... Part 4 of 4 ( How to fill up a Hot Tub for the First time and get it running) Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
thanks for doing this!
Are you using liquid tight metallic or non metallic?
I have existing 1in Rigid conduit running through a deck to where the hot tub sits (from spa gfci panel). But trying to figure out how to finish the rigid conduit to the spa pack.
Plan is threaded rigid conduit to a double female threaded sleeve to a seal tight fitting.
Assuming metallic seal tight so I can continue the conduit ground from the rigid conduit but would love confirmation. Thanks!
This was so helpful. Going to follow these steps to hook mine up this weekend, appreciate it!
Thank you for watching and subscribing
All your videos are awesome - extremely thorough, thank you for making these!!!!!
You are very welcome... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Very explicit and easy to understand video, congratulations! A quick question, the circuit breaker you’re using is a 2 pole breaker, correct?
Yes it it .
Hi what you did is absolutely so helpful thanks and I have ordered a hot tub but they said I will get it within coupon months but mean time I am trying to get my wiring done but some how I am not sure do I have to run two hot line or just one will do
If your manual shows (110-220v) or (120-240v) it can most likely be set up either way. Some hot tubs can run on 1 hot (between 110 to 120 volts), but it seems like people prefer the efficiency of the 2 hot wires (between 220 to 240 volts) probably because it can warm up the water much faster.
Would it matter if you had black wire going into the red spot and red wire into the black since they are both hot wires?
They are both hot wires and it is alway a good idea to mark the wires and put them in the right place according to the colors marked on the wires as well as to where it connects in the Panel ,Breaker, Spa Pac.That way everyone is on the same page as to what is going on. Hop this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thank you Spa Man!
Question… when you fed the conduit through the body of the hot tub, did you use a fitting of some sort to get that home water tight?
Ok,OK, got it. (My wire has black / red / copper / blue) no white. And or Green. So, from the panel red connect to the box right-side black left-side. from the tub connects to the breaker, going to match it red on the right-side black on the left-side, blue at the back on the breaker.
I purchased 84 feet, from the tub to this GFI 10-feet so I spilt cutting the wire. This is why I have four wires red/black/copper and blue.
[I'm stuck buddy, if the wire that is coming from the house panel is the same from the tub, to the GFI box where does the blue wire go??]
Your video is great, would love to get your feed on this, please? Thanks ahead Sam..
I would really love to hear from you, no rush. My tub isn't coming tell Dec,2021 It's ready for Plug 7 Play at 120 outlet. I have the PDF for following conversion change to hooking to a breaker. For the jets and heat will be running at sametime.
Thanks in Advance..
Hey Sam Im out of town for the weekend but when I get back I will dive in and try to help you through this.... Scott AKA Spa Man
Hey, do you have any videos how to wire a hot springs freshwater 3
Might be a stupid question but does the ground wire have to go all the way thru the hole and be screwed down or can it just be barely touching the screw??
You alway want to have a good Ground ...so yes it need to stick out just a little so you know you have a good connection and tighten it down. other wise you will just have problems .. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Mine fried where all the wires go on the circuit board! Can I replace that terminal or do I have to replace to whole circuit board? I have a VKV502 circuit board
Thank you. Great video. Just want to know how you seal the opening you drill in the panel for the seal tight?
Since the liquidtight must be anchored every 3 feet, do you ever bracket it to the foundation slab? (Seems a tripping hazard to let it flop around loose).
Hello thanks for the video .
I have a free flow tristar spa coming in and am wondering about the wire and gfci breaker .
The manual for the tub says to use 4 wire # 8 and a 40 amp ?
All I see people use in # 6 and 50 or 60 amp ?
Is there any harm in using a 60 amp gfci shut off rather then the 40?
Also when running the wire from my Main to the sub. Do you use the same uncased #6 you have in the liquid tight?
Thanks in advance!
I use #6 wire and a 50 amp GFCI breaker with most of my installs the only time I will use a 60 amp breaker with larger wire is when the Hot Tub has three or more motors/pumps and or the run from the main to the Sub is over 125/150 feet .I would never recommend #8 with a 40 amp breaker!!!!! Several reasons why (1) when you are running all motors with the heat on and its cold outside and spa is trying to keep up wires get hot and breaker trips. (2) on the other hand here in Az when it is 115 degrees during the summer and heat is off motors get so hot it trips the breaker. (3) If you decide to sell this spa and buy a different spa that requires a larger service #8 will not be large enough. For the most part #6 with a 50 AMP GFCI breaker will handle most spas. Hope this helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Why #6 awg wire in seal tight? #8 awg THHN wire is rated for 50 amps. Just making sure I’m not missing something.
I get this all of the time...Yes #8 is rated for 50 amps and in some cases might work....However I will not ever recommend ever! When you take pumps and motors and add a heater to the equation put the Hot Tub in Arizona when it is 115+ degrees out during the summer...everything is working over time and breaker pops and pops and will not set because wire is to small. The same will happen when you place a Hot Tub in the cold of winter anyplace were the temps fall below 50 degrees outside..pumps and motors are working overtime to maintain 100 + degree water... now Im going to add more to the problem. Some Hot Tubes have 6 to 10 total HP(2 or 3 pumps & motors) and a circulation with a 5.0 heater or larger add in all of the elements I pointed out above and #8 is just not enough...The other problem we see is 8/3 and 6/3 wire being used..It will pass code and with in a short time the money saved will cost you twice as much to fix the problem.Hope this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING P.S. I am working on a video on this subject called ...Which wire and Why
Can I run 6 gage inside of the spa without the flex tubing to the controller balboa box? I have no room for the water tight flex connector
I hate to say it but you need to figure out a way to make the liquid tight work...It is not safe to have the wires exposed! I can't stress that enough. I have never seen a spa that we could not make it work although we have done some that were a real pain in the ass. If you need some Help drop a dime and call Scott and Im sure he will be able to get you going in the right direction. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Can you tell me why the wires coming from the breaker on my house has two red wires and two white, the old jacuzzi was removed and planning on getting a new one but confused with my wire colors for hook up. Thanks
You might have something else going on...Give Scott a call at the shop and explain what is going on and he will get you moving in the right direction. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Awesome video series!!! Have you wired a Highlife series Hot Springs Spa? They have a 3/4" threaded Electrical access point at the front corner of the Spa. They recommend attaching a pull elbow to this access point. Do you term the liquid tight at that point and fish the wires to the pack?
If you have a 60AMP breaker, why are you use 6 gauge wire instead of 4 gauge from the panel to the spa?
We ran a sub panel for and outdoor living area that was going to have an out door kitchen seating area TV and one Spa to start with
So from the main we ran #4 to the Sub.
The Sub has space for 8 breakers. two of the spaces were used up by the 50 amp GFCI for the Spa the other 6 spaces were going to be used up for the other electrical need in the future.
Now from the 50 Amp GFCI in the Sub panel to the Spa we ran #6 THHN wire to the Spa.

@@spaman5440 ahhh thank you for the response, love the channel and love the video!!!
I am adding Balboa auxiliary heater to a Balboa BP501G1. For power wiring, I was told to not connect neutral (white) on the auxiliary pack, just red, black and ground. Do you know if this is correct and if so why?
This is a link for the Auxiliary Heater.. Every time we had added a heater like this we connected all four wires (Black , Red , White . Green)So I'm not sure why you were told this.. hydrospares.2dimg.com/resources/1470051313_7763.pdf. Hope this Help. Thank for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
When running the 6/3 from the sub panel through the liquid tight do you remove the outer sheathing? My run will be under my deck for about 4 feet and up and through the tub floor. (Master Spa Balance 6)
OK... First You (I Would) never use 6/3 from the Sub to the Hot Tub. Second I (Me) would never go under ground and up through the floor of a Hot Tub (EVER) The only time I would use 6/3 is on the interior wall of a structure or attic and even then it is very rare. When doing any outside wiring I use #6 THHN or THWN wire only. When doing wiring there are several way to do it that meet code and several of those ways will become a maintenance nightmare of the breaker tripping all the time. Using the right size wire and type will make you a Happy Spa Owner. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thanks for the videos! Quick question, the dealer where I bought the swim spa is telling me that I need to hire a licensed electrician. Can I just do it myself and have it inspected? Thanks
Yes you can do it yourself...If you need help just give us a call and we will get you going in the right direction. Thanks for watching & Subscribing
I allways use 1" liquidtight .and 1 inch pvc pipe is easier to run de #6. wire
You can use 1 inch...several of my customers have. I have so much 3/4 inch from all of the installs I've done that it just make sense for us to use it. and it is pretty much the standard found in the Spa industry. Thanks for Watching $ SUBSCRIBING
Curious about the ground….code only requires a #10 solid ground?
I use # 6 on everything that is 220/240 volt with a GFCI 50 Amp breaker. Im not going to get into what code says...More then 50% of the time when Ive had a pack that was fried from (WHATEVER HAPPENED) the wiring was the wrong size or it was the wrong type of wire... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
What size is the seal tight fitting?
Most of the time I use 3/4 seal/liquid tight...
Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
can you bury the seal tite under ground
No.. Seal tight is used for above ground only! And is used from the Sub Panel to the Spa/ Hot Tub... If you run the wires under ground between the Sub and the Spa it will work for awhile and then one day the breaker will start tripping and you will go nuts trying to figure out what is causing it..Just some of the things Ive seen over the years. Thanks for watching & SUBSCRIBING
Hi Scott. I have a question. Do you close up the hole you drill in the spa panel? Can water and mice get in through the hole around the liquid tight?
Just bought a Nordic hot tub has 40amp 220 hook up . We have 120 on each leg but no power to top panel? The book if using 220 no neutral is need. Need help
I would suggest giving Scott a call at the Arizona Hot Tub Factory he will figure it out in 5 min.
This was so helpful! Did you put anything over the conduit where it entered the hot tub?
On this Hot Tub the hole was already there so I just pulled the wires out of the seal tight about a foot an pushed them through the hole on the back side of the Hot Tub... And run the seal tight from the Sub Panel all the way to the Spa Pack and use #6 THHN wire (It was kinda of a tight fit) Hope that helps. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING.
Great info Spa Man. If my breaker box is inside the house can I use 6/4 Romex to the exit point outside of the house and then switch to the four individual #6 THHN cables? If so, where and through what type of LB or connection box is that cable connection made. The spa sub panel will be about 2' below the where the cable(s) exit the house.
Sounds fine. But 2 inches vertically down to run a pipe or LB is a bit short. The LB is going to be about 4 inches long, so don’t mount the sub panel until after getting the LB connected to the sub panel and situated in the home run penetration spot. Hope this helps.
Whats your opinion on Bonding gutters and other metal around the hottub???
that number #6 wire you are using..., do you mean 6 gauge(AWG) wire??? Thanks!
I'm in the process of hooking up my Artesian Tahiti 965L model and it's telling me 6 gauge 4 wire cable with 60-watt breaker. the spa willing using 220v
i live in California and want to know if wiring has to be underground or can it be installed above ground to sub panel?
Can you run seal tite from the disconnect to the spa? Is there a max length allowed?
Just curious but doesnt the reduction ring make the oring useless on the connector?
I believe it makes it better...Every job is different I don't think I've done any two jobs alike. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
if it wasnt for the reduction ring the o-ring wouldn't really be touching anything. the hole in cover was too large for the diameter of the threaded end the o-ring is trying to seal.
Whenever I use reduction washers I use silicone to seal them otherwise the metal washer against metal box is not water tight.
what diameter seal tight did you use 3/4?
If you use 1" liquid tight, can you lose the reducing rings? I can't tell from the video if you used 3/4" or 1". What size did you use in this particular project?
Yes if you use 1 inch you can lose the reducing ring.. one inch does cost a little more ..(3/4 Seal tight in the Video ).But I have buckets of 3/4 inch parts from all of the Spa work that I have done over the years so most often I use 3/4 inch ..sometimes 1inch seal tight is hard to find at places like HomeDepot.. Hope this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 how do you run 4 6awg wires in the seal tight
@@shaunnelson1360 Stretch out the Seal tight and push all four at the same time...Or pull it through with a fish tape.. Hope this Helps Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Would there be any issue with using a #4 AWG? Thanks
What size liquidtight conduit and coupling did you use? Is it a requirement for the ground to be 6 gauge?
3/4 Min...Or you can go larger for liquid tight... On the wire I alway use 6 Gauge.. On all four wires Because that is what several of the manufacturers require on most Hot Tubs..I have had several Manufactures VOID WARRANTY because of wire size...And I never use Romax wire (EVER NEVER ) from the Sub Panel to the Hot Tub I have found it causes problems. I have had to change out the wire several times to #6 THHN wire and problem went away. I never had any problems with THHN wire... Please understand Im in Arizona and these are just the problems Ive seen in Az with Hot Tubs .. I hope this Helps..Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Well, on a 50A/60A circuit the equipment grounding conductor can be #10 THWN (NEC T250.122) -- which, for example, is why #6 NM (Romex) only has a #10 ground. This is because the equipment grounding conductor only has to carry fault current for some milliseconds to trip the breaker (and the GFCI will handle any other low current "leakage" scenarios -- like through your body).
Hi Spaman…Thank you for all the great videos. I have a question for you but before I ask, I’m offering a suggestion for your next topic. Maybe you can let us know what we should have in possession before we take delivery of our first hot tub and whether it’s better to go with Chlorine or Bromide. In my case I’m wondering because my Plug N Play comes with a Ozone module. Anyways, on my hot tub it says 15/30/50 amps. I know that mine is a dual 120/240 but in California it’s 110/220 here. Don’t know if it matters with those specs, but why the 30 amp specs instead of being just 15/50 amp specs? Is there a 30 amp setup and if so, what would that include? Thank you in advance. I can’t wait for your next video. PS: I ordered my hot tub a month ago, but I see now that most sellers stopped shipping to California. Do you know why this is happening? I think I should be fine seeing how I got my order in before that happened because my tub still shows shipping and if I simulate ordering another tub it won’t let me past the delivery address now. I can’t find any info online why I’m seeing these California notices now. Anyways, thanks.
Hi ! What is the suggested bit type to drill a 3/4" hole into the tubs side panel?
I use a 13/16 hole saw most often.Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 Thanks!!!!
What is the size of sealtied tubing? 3/4 inch? in order to hold 4 number 6 wires inside, thanks 😊
my gfi breaker not getting 240 across two hots why
I would call Scott at the shop.. He will be able to Help you. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thanks for the video! Where do you buy the wire?
HomeDepot will have the #6 THHN wire and all the hardware to go with it... Thanks For Watching & SUBSCRIBING
I have read that the sealtite can only be 6 feet. Is this true or can it be over 6?
Im not sure what you mean by "can only be 6 feet"
You can buy it in any length you need...I myself have seen 20 to 25 foot runs from the Sub panel to the Spa and they all passed inspection. I hope that answered your question Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 Yes. You answered my question. Thanks.
@@spaman5440 The 2011 NEC limited flexible nonmetallic conduit to 6 feet which didn't make any sense. I think it was the 2014 NEC which allowed any length as long as it is supported by clamps every 3 feet. Thanks for your videos!
Why not use seal tight wire for the whole install?
Is it too thick?
You only use Seal tight from the Sub to the Spa...
You can use Sealtite for the whole install but it’s a lot more expensive and doesn’t look good running from the main to the sub panel. Plus, it has to be strapped more often, so it’s more work.
If the black and red wires are switched is that a problem
I was told it does not matter if the black and red wires are switched. I find that hard to believe
No...As long as it is wired correctly it will not matter because both the black & Red wires should be Hot. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 but doesn't the black have to go in one spot and the red have to go in different spot if I switch them and put the black with a red belongs and the red with a black belongs doesn't that cause problems
Call Scott at the office and he will explain how it work so you understand how it works ..Just so we make sure that everyone in on the same page and no one get hurt. Thanks for Watching & Subscribing
Where's the link to part 4?
How to fill a hot Tub for the first time and get it running...
Can I use #8 wire if its less than 50 feet
NO You have to use # 6 wire... If you don't you will just have problems. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Wire derating gets bad outdoors in the heat and sunlight, so #8 might only be good to use in Antarctica, lol.
Question, on My 6 guage 3/1 awg the ground does not have sleeve . The whole wire is encased in a plastic cover and the ground does not have a sleeve, is that a problem? I bought it from Home Depot.
A lot of people use that type of wire to save money but in the long haul it will cause you a lot of problems when running from the Sub Panel to the Hot Tub...I always use #6 THHN wire just like I show in the video... Ive had several electricians tell me over the years that 6/3 is ok and it meet code and will pass inspection and that may be true...And over the years Ive had several hot tub that had a breaker tripping problem that we found nothing wrong with the HotTub and come to find out the wire from the Sub Panel to the hot Tub was 6/3 (A Spa Tech Friend of mine said change the wire to #6THHN wire) So I did and the problem went away.. ever since then I have never installed anything but THHN wire in a Hot Tub.And have had to replace wire in hundreds of Hot Tub with problems that others have said there is something wrong the th Hot Tub and it was the wire.. Now this is just what Ive found out by working on Hot Tubs in Arizona.But I have had several viewers tell me that it fixed there problem also.. I hope this Helped Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 I appreciate your insight and time! Thank you so much!
By code you cannot bury romex and cannot run it through conduit underground. You need to use THHN/THWN wire
My neighbor had a MAJOR issue when he ran uninsulated ground wire. It burned a pump out almost right away. He replaced the ground to insulated THHN and NO issues since. The ground SHOULD have a "sleeve". Moisture can appear in the conduit (= condensation). This can short ANY uninsulated wires. This leads to lots of drama.. Spa Man noted it well!
lo necesito en español porfavor
After reviewing your videos I've decided to do my electrical as a DYI. The hot tub 4 wire (Bullfrog) requires 240v/50a service.
My plan at this point is to install a 50 amp breaker on the main panel with a 90' run of 6AWG to a hot tub sub-panel, the sub-panel would have a 50 amp GFCI breaker, then the remaining 10' to the tub with 6AWG. All of this would be run through 3/4" or 1" PVC, galvanized, or flexible conduit. Due to the rocky terrain only about the last 8' will be buried.
My questions:
1. For the main panel is a 50 amp breaker ok, or maybe a 60 amp?
2. Is a 100' run ok with 6AWG?
3. Any thoughts on conduit type?
4. Am I missing anything?
GFCI 50 amp breaker in the main or sub should be fine ...THHN wire #6 preferred...And you need a 50 amp breaker in the sub panel disconnect no closer then 5 feet to the spa and no further then 20 feet in line of sight.. PVC is for under ground galvanized is for against a wall...Seal tight/Liquid Tight/ Flexible if from the Sub panel to hot tub only and should not be any longer then 20 feet. Hope this helps.. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 what diameter seal tight did you use?
@@brianfranz6384 Most often I use 3/4 inch seal tight.
@@spaman5440 if the hot tub is 240v on a 50 amp breaker subpanel is there enough power to all run other outdoor lights and outlets off the sub panel?
Does the ground wire have to also be 6 gage? See many sets on Amazon with 6 gage red black and white but 8 gage green?
I have noticed that also... I alway run everything in #6 that is what most tub manufactures call for and I also wire every job to code. to me it is not worth the small saving you will get running #8 wire for the ground.. On another note I have been involved with warrantees being voided because of not wiring the hot tub to there requirements...It might not of caused the problem ? its just things Ive seen over the years... Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 yes that makes sense. Thanks so much for replying.
Locknut was backwards
If you havent worked with an electrician.. call an electrician.
The idiot who wired my hot tub gave me about 3 inches of wire to work with. Nearly impossible to reconnect
Ive had many electrical contractors do the same thing to me. That is so frustrating.
