Title: Hot Springs Grandee panel wiring.
Post by: chopper 7 on September 01, 2016, 04:07:03 am

I need to put together a plan for wiring a Hot Springs Grandee model GG. I dont have the 20a 30a panel that was supplied by the manufacturer and need to put one together. My question is this, if I buy a 50a 2 pole main GFCI breaker to feed the subpanel do the 30a and 20a 2 pole breakers need to be GFCI also? Thanks for the help.

In my experience the only problem with not having the GFCI breakers outside by the tub is you have to be home in order for any service to be performed on your tub.

Hot Spring website has the pre-delivery guides for all their spas.  It details the wiring diagram for the Grandee.  I'd just go buy the box from the dealer.

Well my local HS dealer wants over $500 for their panel and I can build one for less than half that. I'm just not sure why I couldn't have the main in the house (50a) be GFCI and use 2 regular 2 pole breakers (30a and 20a) in the local disconnect? This is for a Grandee model GG

Look online that's highway robbery for that panel!

I have found the "convertible" panel that has a single pole 20a and a two pole 30a for $250 but I haven't found the panel that has both two pole breakers. Anyone know a model number?

Look at MAP pricing... I believe it's $470.  $470+tax is over $500 I'd imagine.

Code says spa breakers in the sub panel visible from the spa have to be GFCI.
