I very much needed this video. Just got a hot tub installed (plug n play) 110v. After taking so long to heat up and not being able to run my jets on high while heating sucks. Your video makes me confident that I can convert to 220/240v myself. Thank you for your very detailed and informative video.

[stevecollins]

I am replacing an old hot tub with a new hot tub and I am hooking the 50 amp breaker to my main box and I would like to have a refresher video showing hooking the wires correctly to my main box. Your videos are very clear and informative. Thank you so much.

Hey Scott ... I can't thank you enough man! I just took delivery of my new Catalina Kennedy and needed an "electrician" to hook it up. However, where I live in Eastern NC, very few are available and they are booked weeks out. I searched the subject and found your YT video and bam!! ... did it myself and saved lots of money. (Yes, I watched your video several times and referenced it throughout the project. Dude...it's folks like you that make Youtube so successful and make folks like me look like pros. (My GF said she was SO proud of me, I blushed and said, well it was Scott and I who did it! She sends kisses!) Thanks again!!

Thanks for the vid! And great job on it too! Fact is you saved me. Was going straight in with short wires and it just wasn't working for me! Left the 8-10 inch tail, installed the ground first, then wrapped the other wires around and worked them in top to bottom. So much easier - and smarter! Thanks again!

[baddbrad]

Great job! Excellent step by step details as an industrial maintenance electrician some people get confused about the white wire being called a common VS a neutral when the white wire is carrying the unbalanced load in a circuit like 220V, 480V it's a neutral DC voltage its a common, but I get what he's saying, but not D.I.Y.'s 😊

[caryhetzel]

Wow!! Thank you so very much!! I've run the 220 line to a box outside, and showing the flexible conduit and the connectors to the control panel... I would have totally missed that step!! And using the reducing washers... nice touch!! I love the explanation as to WHY you're doing things as well... like... use this to help secure in case someone trips over the wire!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!

[mikeurban]

Very thorough explanation. I need to do everything in this video, install the spa sub panel, spa panel breaker, wire it all up, and convert my tub from 110v to 240v. I was nervous and procrastinating the task, but after watching the Spa Man's video, I feel confident and ready to tackle it.

[truestofhearts]

Loved this video!! Just did my own tub! Took out the 110 and installed the 220!!

[DNR]

All the best videos hands down! I was able to locate and fix a leak and switch out 2 pumps and heater with not only exact how to but with confidence after watching Scott. AND customer service with a return phone call?... Unheard of in this day of IA (spelled BS) but THE Spa Guy called me back after a question on an order... Thanks man!

[mikec]

As an electrician that hooks up hot tubs I have to say very nice job man, great details and very thorough. And to code.

[RenTanis]

Great video! Finally someone showed all the necessary steps.

[brucejohnston]

Thanks for all of your help! Finally converted hot tub to 220. Added spa sub panel, ran emt, flex seal and switched it over from 110. Your videos (and input) are great and were a tremendous help.

[MKrebs-klud]

Very good instructions! I have some electrical experience but only enough to be dangerous. I’ve Wired basic circuits, my shop machines etc. and I always read and follow electrical code. Spa Man was a huge money saver!

[JohnStuart-gt]

This is a great video - very complete and saved me a lot of time and money … thanks for posting it! Keep up the great work

[johnkotara]

How did/do you seal up where the flexible conduit goes through the cabinet to keep out the critters? Silicone, Duct Seal, or any special grommets? Thanks in advance!

[rebeccasmith]

What did you do with the Sealtight going into the tub through the hole you drilled. How did you seal it, did you use a rubber grommet some other type of
seal

[DNR]

Do you have any vids that show how to (RE)-insert conductor wires for the pumps back into the clip terminals on a Jacuzzi J370 control board? Cant get the bared twisted wire ends back into the square inserts with the little 't-lever' looking contraption underneath (have photo of them)... THANKS!

[josephgraham]

Welcome back I love your videos. You give the best instructional videos for DI"Yers. Thanks for sharing.

[michaeldomingos]

Question. So I'm in the middle of connecting a 220/240 volt Spa from a Pentair Intellicenter Sub Panel like your doing in this video. The breaker at the Intellicenter is a 60amp NON-GFCI breaker. So I just need the 1 60amp GFCI spa disconnect near the spa and that is fine correct?

[TheMisterranger]

I want to thank you for your previous videos on this topic as I was able to wire my panel to the hot tub. We now soak safely
