Hot Tub Electrical Requirements: Circuit Size, GFCI and Disconnect Rules

What a spa needs electrically and what to expect from a professional hot tub circuit install.

Circuit size

Most 240V spas need a 50 or 60 amp dedicated circuit; check the manufacturer's plate.

GFCI disconnect

Code requires a GFCI-protected disconnect at least 5 feet from the water and within sight of the spa.

Wire and conduit

Copper conductors in conduit, with proper burial depth for underground runs.

Bonding

Metal parts and the spa shell must be bonded to prevent voltage differences.
