God bless and thank you.

excellent video and very well explained, I just got all my materials in and I am about to run all the wires and connect things up until my spa gets here next week

I just wanna start this reviewer by saying thank you this was the most helpful and precise video that I found. After digging all the trenches laying the conduit I found that no one would return my phone call for such a small job as just installing the breaker box
Again thank you. Jim C

Thank You..
Excellent video!! I love when it is explained and showed the way u did. Thank u!!!!
Welcome...
Clear concise and to the point thank you
Thanks Spa man ! Follow your directions fix my Sub panel problem right the way !
This video is great. A few tips I learned the hard way.
That lid will remove with a large flat screwdriver. Just pry out the outside tab a tiny bit bu turning the driver.
#6/3 wire although it fits in 1/2" conduit, you'll never get it through. Get 3/4“.
...Back to Lowe's
From a master electrician..........good job.
Thank You so much I really Appreciate that...
This guy is great....I spent about $450.00 on materials and followed Scott's instructions.Just installed a Bullfrog tub and electricians charge between $1500.00 and $2000.00 for wiring.
Thankyou Scott for saving me a ton of money!!!!!!!!
I hear that! I’m a 60 year old woman- have had 3 estimates on wiring my soon to be spa! They wanted from $2800 to $4200 for my job. I love the Spa guy! He explains everything and it’s easy to follow him.
I just laid my own concrete pad yesterday 😊 I can do this👍🏻

Bought a used hot tub & am trying to wire it. It actually has 220 AND 110. Thankfully, the guy I bought it from took pictures of the connections before unhooking it all.
thanks so much for this video
Great video
Thank You....Glad to Help.
I got quoted $3K to run this 30' from my main breaker. I think I'm going to do this myself. of course after turning off the main panel on the side of the house! thanks for this
I know I haven't seen the job but 3K for 30 feet sounds like a rip off to me.. Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
The pool man is wiring up your hot tub 😎
I wouldn't have a pool guy add water to my Hot Tub....EVER.. and I would never let them wire one.
Thanks
Awesome
Life saver
Thanks a lot! I know it's for safety issue, but where I live it is impossible to get the info on how to connect the wires. I've called everywhere and all they were telling me wass : Call an electrician. I then called the electrician that told be that they are super busy at the moment (covid-19 related) and that they could only help me in 8 weeks!!!! The spa is already in my backyard, saw your video, installed my cables, everything works like a charm, Thanks a lot!
I really like hearing stories like your ...Im very Happy you were able to get it done... Enjoy your new Hot Tub.. And Thanks for Watching and Subscribing.
Thanks man very helpful
Hi Spa man.. Great Video. I have a watkins Hotspot thats been working great for years 4-5 ... the main 2 spead motor Wet pump went out and put water on motor of the 2 speed pump. I assumed that was what caused the breaker to trip... after research and finally buying a complete watkins 2 speed motor pump for $500 , i replaced it and filled tub... no leaks and everthing seemed great... I was able to get my 3 jet speeds or 3 levels of jets and was ready to leave it alone for the night to heat up from 50 deg to the 102 deg. but checked on it and 50 amp breaker was tripped... I could reset breaker and check everything again, but i just reset breaker and let it sit. at that point , i think only one pump comes on to curculate and the heater to heat... at that point, it tripped again . is my heater bad causing it to trip? Thanks Spa Man... your the best !
Bruce.. I have another video..That has 6 reasons the spa trips the breaker. If you watch that video it will steer you in the right direction. Thanks for watching and Subscribing.
Good video. Make sure you earthquake strap that water heater behind you...
Really good video Dude
Glad you enjoyed it..Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
Thanks spa man!
Thanks so Much buddy. Just so happens i habe a Balboa pack. 👍👍Damn good video
I hope it Helped You And Thanks For Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 Absolutely got it all wired up today. Water tomorrow and hopefully soak in it tomorrow night lol Thanks again.
Still the best video !!
Thank You...
I appreciate this also will this setup work for a n I ground hot tub too just curious how they are wired
Excellent Video, I have installed several of these over the years and I always come back to this video to refresh my memory before installing. I was wondering what the purpose would be to removing the filters prior to turning the spa on? Eliminate air gap or air lock?
When you turn the system on you want as much flow as possible so you don't get an air lock... so you should always remove all filters and throw them in the water so they are wet and ready to go once the Spa is up and running for several minutes...sometime a dry filter will cause an air lock. Hope that helps and thanks for Watching & Subscribing.
Nice video. My second jets were going off and on. Still on warranty so I called the technician.. He tested and said that was mostly likely just a bad switch on the other side for first jets but I can still use the tub until the part come in. So I started to warm up the tub, but I check on it later - no power to my control panel and the circuit breaker was tripped. So I reset the breaker and my wifey was like the control panel light flickered but off again. The breaker, however is not tripped. Several attempted to reset the breaker and only a flicker on the control panel. Now I can’t cold water and no lights on my “Hot Tub”.
Sounds like something is wired wrong....I would need more info ..You can call me at the office and Ill see if I can help you.
This was an excellent tutorial, thank you for posting. The spa box I am mounting to my house is 60A so I used 8/3 from my sub-panel. The spa asks for 50A. Then used 6/3 from the main to the sub panel since the sub panel will have a couple other outside breakers in it.
I would not wire it with #8 you could have problems. I would use a min of #6 wire for. a 220/240 volt with GFCI Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 agreed, I wouldn't use 8 either
6/4so is only rated for 45 amps
This video is really good should be top video. I don't know why the top recommended video is one that doesn't include a gfci breaker, that's crazy.
Thank You So Much...
This video was extremely helpful and very easy to understand! Great job. One question. What size wire should I run from the 60amp spa disconnect box to the hot tub pack?
You should check with the manufacture of the Spa to be on the safe side and check with the local and state codes .. most Spas use # 6 wire for both Hot wires and the Neutral/common wire and the Ground Wire
Have a new cost spa that replaced a old spa. New spa is working it is wired for 220 with 50amp GFI. The mother board has 6 small dip switch es
And if you have some extra time you can do a video about installing this pack to a concrete hot tub😎
Great, easy to follow video, thanks! We bought a vita spa envie which is designed to trip the breaker when you first start it up. My question is why and what if it doesn’t?
I have NEVER herd of a spa that is designed to trip the breaker when you first start it up...Maybe I don't understand what you are saying ..if you need help you can call the office and Ill try to help You.
Hi. Excellent detailed videos, Scott, thank you. Always a pleasure to watch them. I have a question regarding a Beachcomber Management System SST-2. This has a Balboa Instruments circuit Board PArt # 54315-04. Everything worked fine except for one of the pump motors started leaking water at the connection to the pump, so I decided to buy a replacement motor with the pump attached. The motor looked the same as the other (not exactly the right part number) so I removed the cables off the old one and added them to the new one. They were White wire on top, Black in the middle and red on the bottom. I then tried to turn the circuit breaker on and it kept tripping. I put the old motor back and it continue to trip... I looked at the new motor carefully and saw that the pins were different to the motor I took out... Top pin of the old motor had Common, middle had High Speed and bottom had low speed, while the new motor High on top, Common in the middle and low on the bottom. The question is by plugging in the wires as per old motor could I have blown something on the circuit board?
Hey Scott I have a Jacuzzi Whirlpool bath it must be 25 years old I'm trying to convert from 120 to 240 volts the diagram seems sketchy I would be extremely grateful if you could video chat your videos are great and I appreciate the time and efforts
You can call Scott at the shop ...He there mot day . Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
I brought a use hot tub.it was working wen i brought it.came home wired it up.all lights on but the pack isnt doing nothing(no noise).any sugestions
This video is great 👍🏼, do you have any video about equipotential bonding on Concret base (swim spa)?tnks
Do you have a video showing how to run the wires from the main breaker box in the house to that sub panel?
Great video! I have a question about a used hottub I just picked up. Everything works with the hottub except it won't heat. Upon inspection , I see the thermostat is not connected to the board. It's a 4-pin connector. One pin hole is plugged, but there are 4-Pins on the board. If the thermostat is not connected will this keep the tub from heating?
Great Video!!!! Question I am getting a Sensation 300 series and can't find what gauge wire I need to run from my house breaker any ideas?
Hi Scott, great video. I have a question regarding running cable from master breaker to GFI. I plan to run through garage roof then into crawl space. What 6/4 cable should I run? A shielded cable I can pull or individual wires through a conduit. The run is about 85ft or so. Thank you in advance
Great video, thank you very much. What is the breaker in the house pops only when everything is turned on? IT comes onand runs but when the heater and all jets are on it pops. Thanks again
I have another video that will show you how to figure out what is causing it to trip... 6 thing that will cause the breaker to Trip
Got everything working the way you showed. Hot tub ran and than stopped after a few hours. Not tripping breaker but starts than stops if I manually trip it off/on. Flashing temperature after pur cycle. It's a ZSpa 720 and I can't find error codes anywhere on the net.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful. My question is regarding wires and conduits. Your videos shows using separate wires rather then one strand with all of them inside the insulation. Does it matter if you use a grouped strand or single strands? Also what should you put the wires in that run from the sub panel to the hot tub? Nobody seems to talk about that. PVC? Rigid conduit? Flexible conduit? Etc..
I have found that I find more problems with a Grouped strand then with Single strand... When ever I have a spa that keeps tripping the breaker and everything looks to be in perfect condition and I can't find any other reason for the problem I go to the wires and quite ofter its the grouped stranded wire causing the problem. As for the connection from the Sub Panel to the Hot Tub ..I most often use what is called Seal Tight also called Liquid Tight and I alway use single stranded wire. Alway follow The National Electric Code as well as Local codes... Thank You for an Idea for a Video for the future and Thanks For Watching. And Please Like , Share & SCBSCRIBE.
Great videos Scott! Thanks very much. Question: what type of wire do you recommend running from my main panel in my basement to my outdoor spa panel through my basement ceiling? I plan on 6 awg wire. I will use the thhn thru seal tight from sub panel to spa but should I use nm-b thru the basement from main to sub? Curious on your thoughts. Thanks.
Hey that was so helpful thanks I am about to put and jacuzzi hot tub that I have ordered already but I thought it can work with three wires but do you think I need four wires including two hot wires and also I am trying to put 6 Hague will that be fine
Been watching your videos i bought a new hot tub so i want to wire it myself your videos are awesomanated had a question so i sent you a email
