Hot Tub Wiring

Regulations For Hot Tub Wiring

Local permissions are required in certain areas before installing a spa or hot tub. According to local rules, a qualified hot tub electrician must make the connection to your home’s electrical system. Whatever your local regulations are, remember the adage that water and electricity do not mix. A trained electrician must handle your pool and hot tub wiring. Not only do we build hot tub electrical systems, but we also examine and repair them.

The Canadian Electrical Code is updated regularly to ensure everyone’s safety. Kankpe Electric will guarantee that the electrical installation for your pool and hot tub is safe and per the Canadian Electrical Code.

Requirements For Hot Tub Wiring

Bonding is required around in-ground pools and equipment such as ladders and diving boards. Spas, hot tubs, and pools must also have a disconnect switch to fulfill Code requirements. This enables the user to turn on or off the electricity to the spa, hot tub, or pool. The disconnect must be placed securely away from the water’s edge. This prevents a person from having their foot in the water while hitting the switch, which would result in electrocution.

Hot Tub Wiring

Electricity And Water Concerns Also Include:

  • The vicinity of power and telephone lines
  • Appropriate grounding of surrounding outlets due to closeness to subterranean wiring
  • Hot tubs must be connected to a GFCI breaker: either 40, 50, or 60 amps
  • All outlets and lights around a pool must be GFCI protected.
  • All metal (such as a fence) around a pool must be bonded.
  • Hot tubs must be wired with at least #6 copper wire.

Water and electricity should never be mixed. Electrical safety is critical, so a hot tub electrician must complete your pool and hot tub wiring.
