Jacuzzi j - 200 j - 280 User Manual

Your new Jacuzzi spa is equipped with a “state-of-the-art”  

equipment system. It contains the most advanced safety 

and self-protective equipment in the industry. 

Nonetheless, this spa must be installed properly to insure 

dependable usage. Please contact your 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 outside the equipment door (Figure B, 

page 17) to permit connection of a bonding wire between this point and 

any ground metal equipment, 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 (8.4 mm²) 

solid copper wire. This is a most important safety assurance feature. 

Before installing this spa, check with the local building department to 

insure installation conforms to local building codes.

A spa connected to a 120 VAC electrical service must be located close 

enough to a grounded, grounding-type electrical outlet so that the 

included 10 feet (3m) power cord can be plugged directly into it. 

use an eXTensIon CorD as this could cause damage to the spa’s 

equipment due to insufficient voltage. The power supplied to this spa 

must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the 

power provided by the circuit.
