Hawaii Specific Information for Spa Installation

Recommended Wiring: You are going to need a 4 wire, #6 size copper wire, 240V wiring installed by a licensed electrician for your spa wiring. The electrical wires are wired directly into the spa. 60 amp or 50 amp depending on the requirements of the spa. You also need a GFCI spa disconnect as described below. The one that Spa Specialist sells is the best because it is heavy duty and won't false trip. Spa Specialist wants you to have a robust GFCI disconnect that will be problem free for the life of your spa. Your electrician may insist that you don't need any of this. They may try to explain that all you need is a GFCI breaker in the main panel and a simple disconnect near the spa. This is the quick and easy route for them which will save them time. It won't save you money. These GFCI breakers don't hold up over time. Do not let them convince you otherwise. Call me for an electrician referral if you do not have an electrician who will work with you. ( or if they are charging too much.)

You also need adequate unobstructed space (no trees, Outdoor AC units etc.) to move the spa from the street into the site. About 43" width with about 8 ft plus vertical clearance depending on the dimensions of your spa. Consider a crane if ground access has too many obstructions. A crane may allow you to consider sites that otherwise would be unusable due to poor access.

In Hawaii there is no building permit needed to install a spa. No permit is needed to pour a concrete slab. However, there are specific building code requirements regarding the hot tub electric service plus safety fencing requirements specific to pools and spas. Your site must meet all Hawaii code requirements. Your Homeowner's Insurance Co. will also want to know it meets code. Do not attempt to do the electric wiring yourself. Hire a licensed electrician who understands hot tubs.
