-
If your hot tub runs on 240 volts, it must be permanently connected (hard wired) to the power supply.

If your hot tub runs on 120 volts, it may use a G.F.C.I. cord, plugged in to a dedicated grounded outlet.
-
The power supplied must be a dedicated circuit with no other appliances or lights sharing the power.
-
Wire size must be appropriate per NEC and/or local codes. It is determined by length of the run from the breaker box to the hot tub and the maximum current draw.
-
Copper wire with THHN insulation is recommended. Do not use aluminum wire.
-
The electrical supply for the hot tub must include a suitably rated switch or circuit breaker with a disconnection readily accessible to the hot tub's occupant, but installed at least five feet from the water.Local municipalities may have additional code requirements.

The electrical circuit must include a suitable ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) as required by NEC.
