In Response To: Wiring a generator for winter protection. (jhelm)

It is a jumper change. It is easy to do and should be covered in the installation materials that arrive with your spa. You can also search back on some of my posts a few weeks ago for the Sundance jumper settings. I posted a very extensive list of settings.

: I will be getting a first spa in a few weeks
: and I have an electrician coming in a week
: to do the wiring for a Sundance Altamar
: (2006. Since the electrician will be here I
: want to consider having him do wiring for a
: generator for winter freeze protection. I
: already have a generator (5000 watt 120/240
: volt) hooked up to various household things
: furnace, frige., water pump etc. A gen tran
: is in place for this. I want to hook up the
: spa to the main service (200 amp) with 50 or
: 60 amp service disconnect or gfci breaker
: and #6 wire. To use the generator in the
: winter (if there is an extended power
: outage)(they happen here) I know I would
: have to do a manual wire change at the
: control box on the hot tub to shift from 60
: to 30 amp. to run just the heater and a circ
: pump.
: Am I on the right track with this????
