Safe, code-compliant hot tub and spa wiring
Installing a hot tub is a wonderful way to enjoy your outdoor space, but the installation has to be done safely. A hot tub or spa needs its own dedicated circuit sized to the manufacturer's spec, typically a 240-volt, 50- or 60-amp line on a GFCI-protected breaker, with a manual disconnect mounted within sight of the tub but at least five feet away. Around standing water, correct wiring is the difference between a relaxing soak and a serious shock hazard.

Around standing water, correct wiring and GFCI protection are the difference between a relaxing soak and a serious shock hazard. A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter cuts power the instant it detects a fault, protecting anyone using the tub.
