electrical appliance) or your spa may not function
properly. For safety purposes, the location of the
power outlet (where the spa is to be connected)
can be no closer than the minimum allowable
distance specified by the national and local
wiring rules in your area. Installation must be in
accordance with all national and local wiring
rules.
Fill Spa before Powering on: Always fill the spa
to the recommended level before turning on the
power (see Pre-fill Checklist).
Residual Current Device: The appliance should
be supplied through a residual current device
with a rated tripping current not exceeding
30mA.
WARNING: Never use an extension cord.
Bullfrog International, LC does not allow the
use of an extension cord under any possible
situation. The use of an extension cord voids any
warranty on the spa equipment and also exposes
the consumer to additional risk of fire, electrical
shock, injury, or death.
120V~/60Hz Permanently-Connected
Installation: Unless your spa was ordered from
the factory with a 120V~/60Hz power cord, its
equipment is configured to operate on 230V~/
60Hz power (even though it was equipped with a
120V~/60Hz pump). Prior to the 120V~/60Hz
electrical installation, the spa’s equipment will
need to be converted from its 230V~/60Hz
configuration to a 120V~/60Hz configuration.
For specific conversion instructions, please refer
34
to the system wiring diagram inside the Control
System Box (located in the spa’s equipment
compartment).
Permanently-Connected 120V~/60Hz spas
require a GFCI protected, 3-wire (Line 1,
Neutral and Ground), 120V~/60Hz, 20A,
Single-Phase, dedicated electrical circuit. It is
important that this circuit is dedicated (not being
used by any other electrical appliance) or the spa
may not function properly. Installation must be
in accordance with all national and local wiring
rules.
230V~/60Hz Permanently-Connected
Installation: Even though the spa is equipped
with a 120V~/60Hz pump, it has already been
configured to operate on 230V~/60Hz power
unless the spa came with a factory connected
120V~/60Hz power cord, in which case the spa’s
equipment will need
to be converted from its 120V~/60Hz
configuration to the 230V~/60Hz configuration.
For specific conversion instructions, please refer
to the system wiring diagram inside the Control
System Box (located in the spa’s equipment
compartment).
Permanently-Connected 230V~/60Hz spas
require a GFCI protected, 4-wire (Line 1, Line
2, Neutral, and Ground), 230V~/60Hz, 50A,
Single-Phase, dedicated electrical circuit.
It is important that this circuit is dedicated (not
being used by any other electrical appliance) or
the spa may not function properly. Installation
must be in accordance with all national and local
wiring rules.

convertable are equipped with (model BF05)
230V~/60Hz equipment. This equipment only
operates on a 230V~/60Hz electrical service.
