Prior to installation of your spa, your electrician will need to arrange adequate power supply for your spa. You can find details of the power requirements in the 'product specifications' table on the website page for your chosen spa model (search for your spa model using the 'spa pools' or 'swim spas' tab in the top menu bar, then scroll down the page to the table which looks like this below (example: 32amp power is required for the classic model below)
Please note, we will always quote the minimum power requirement. For example, our spas which state 15amp minimum power requirement, can run on the 15amp cord and plug which they're supplied with. You also have the option to hardwire to provide more amperage, ie. 25amp, to optimise heating whilst you're in your spa and using the jets and heating simultaneously. 25amp, 32amp and 45amp power supply will always require a qualified electrician to install.
All Sapphire STANDARD / STANDARD+ / CLASSIC models come with a 4.5m power cord & 15amp plug (manufacturer’s warranty will be void if extension cords are used).
We recommend you discuss your available power with your electrician as they will be able to work out the ideal set up for your home and the spa or swim spa you've purchased.
Sapphire spas and swim spas are manufactured to provide power supply access through the recess at the base of the rounded cabinet corners (see image and diagram below). There should be enough room to push the 15amp power cord through or for your electrician to use as an entry point for the conduit to supply power to your spa or swim spa.) The location 50mm in from red line, suggested below, is ideal for this method of supplying power to your new spa or swim spa.
Please confirm the best way to provide electrical access for mySpace & myGetaway with your local spa pool supplier or Sapphire Spas Head Office.
Our spa pool and swim spa models also allow for the option to install electrical conduit/flex into the concrete slab so it's concealed within the cabinet. Please use the information provided to guide your electrician on where to connect power in this way as delivery may be delayed if the power has not been positioned correctly.
IMPORTANT : the electrician should install the conduit or flex so that it rises from the concrete slab at a MAXIMUM height of 40mm above the slab surface. If the conduit is higher than 40mm, it may interfere with the equipment within your spa cabinet, which could necessitate further work by your electrician and delay Sapphire delivery date.
Download the 'tech sheet' for your particular spa or swim spa model for location of pre-power options available to you (example below of where you'll find download button once you locate your model through 'spa pools' or 'swim spas' top menu option.
Below is an example of the tech sheet for myChillout spa pool, showing measurements for pre-installing power in conduit/flex through the concrete slab so it enters under the cabinet at one of these locations shown. You must adhere to these directions to avoid interference with equipment already installed within the cabinet which may delay delivery date.
myHotTub DOES NOT have this corner recess option due to steel frame so please ensure that you've considered power access prior to installing myHotTub. Pre-installing power through your concrete slab is the best option for power supply to myHotTub. The access from rear of spa will then be run through the myHotTub cabinet by your electrician to reach the main controller box.
