Thanks Scott! After watching your videos I ran all my electrical to my hot tub. I had an electrician friend hook up the wires to the main panel. I got to nervous for that. It has been almost a year and everything works great! I couldn’t have done it without your videos. Seeing this video reminds me that I did it correctly. Thanks again
If interested. I bought the Knipex wire stripper. The one I bought has a full plyer nose. Man, they are the best I ever bought. I own several, and the last pair I liked was Milwaukee wire strippers. They have performed great. But Kinpex far exceeds them hands down.
Great video. I did my own but my tub will trip the breaker if there is a load on it for a long period of time. I can’t have both pumps and heater running for more than 10 minutes or it will trip. Any ideas why?
The only time you use 6/3 is for inside of the house...you never use it out side ever... As for the wiring from the Sub to the Hot Tub you would use #6 THHN or THWN wire only on all four wires and you can not down size the ground wire! Thanks for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
@@spaman5440 Thanks so much for the help! I happen to have extra 6/3 wire so I’m glad I can use that. My hot tub instructions say the following for North America: “The minimum wire size for systems that require a 50A GFCI is # 8/3 c/w ground (also referred to as # 8 gauge / 4 conductor)” - Just curious, is that in reference to the wire from the sub to the hot tub or the wire to the main?
@@jacobsmith15 Ok lets start over ... I would never use 6/3 or 8/3 ever it will just cause problems? Romax wire always causes so many problems... Use #6 THHN or THWN wire (On all four wires do not down size the wire!) from the main to the hot tub
I always try and, Neutral then hots. But if all is dead and disconnected it truly doesn't matter. In less the unforeseen strikes. That is what I wager against at all times.
Thanks Scott for giving me the courage to do my electrical work on tub install. You are the man.

This there a brand of sub box you recommend to buy? And a gfci brand you prefer? Love your videos! Thanks!
Can you connect a jacuzzi to a fuse disconnect or does it have to be a breaker disconnect for a 4 wire jacuzzi
I have an issue with no heat. Need your help.
give us a call and we'll see if we can help...Thankf for Watching & SUBSCRIBING
What number do I call ? Would you email a number. Thanks Dave
I got a hot tub that I think is a moonlight 5000 who makes that?
I understand the 6/3 but why does nobody talk about the wire going to the hot tub? What wire is that? It's definitely not the same as the 6/3

Why the Romex 6/3 cause problems from the sub to the spa?

Would you be willing to take a few minutes and talk on the phone about a problem I'm encountering?
