Hot Tub Electrical - Code Minimum

Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
There are 2 types of hot tubs: The warm, refreshing variety and the more jolting & shocking kind. If you are planning to wire up your own hot tub there are 5 key code references which will inevitably ramp up the cost of the project materials and require some location planning, so keeping them front of mind can alleviate significant stress at the end of the project. While our other hot tub videos (including our own) will provide more step-by-step instructions for the electrical, this one is a quick-hitter for those who already have the mechanical skills and knowledge, but may lack NEC experience.
