What A Code Compliant Spa Circuit Involves
- A dedicated 50 or 60 amp GFCI protected circuit sized to your spa
- An outdoor rated disconnect within sight of the spa, at the required distances
- Correct burial depth and conduit for the underground run
- Equipotential bonding of the spa shell and nearby metal
- A permit and inspection, required for spa circuits in LA area jurisdictions
Placement And Planning
The cheapest time to plan spa wiring is before the spa is delivered. Distance from the panel, the trench path, and where the disconnect can legally sit all affect cost. Send us the spa spec sheet and a photo of your panel and yard, and we will quote the run accurately before you commit to a location.
Replacing Or Inheriting A Spa
Bought a home with a spa already wired? Older installs frequently miss GFCI protection or bonding, and a quick inspection tells you where it stands. Swapping an old spa for a new one usually needs circuit changes too, since amperage requirements vary between models.
