The Hydro-Quip 8000 Series Solid-State Systems were designed for indoor or outdoor installations.
This equipment may be used for both inground and above ground spas/hot tubs.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
The Equipment System must be installed on a firm, level
surface (ie: concrete or plastic base)
The area where the system is installed must have adequate
drainage to prevent flooding of the equipment under all
circumstances.
For performance reasons locate the system as close to the
spa/hot tub as practical. (Consult local codes for minimum
distance between equipment and spa)
Provide adequate access around and above the System for
service and maintenance. Three (3’) of clearance around the
equipment is recommended.
The pump(s) provided with the system may or may not be
self-priming. Pumps that are NOT self priming must be
installed BELOW water level or they will not prime.
The Spaside control has a 50’ cord length. Plan routing
distance between the equipment and vessel to be less than
44ft.
PLUMBING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
To assure adequate performance, the use of 2” piping is recommended.
There may be 3 or 4 separate plumbing systems in the spa. Verify the function of each pipe.
1) Suction System Plumbing - this plumbing will connect to the spa’s skimmer, main drain and
suction fittings. This plumbing connects to the front end of each pump.
2) Discharge System Plumbing - this plumbing will go to the spa’s hydrotherapy jet and massage
fittings. This plumbing connects to the open end of the heater on your Equipment System.
3) Air Blower Plumbing - this plumbing will go to an air channel under the floor, or to an air distribution
manifold of the spa. This plumbing connects only to an air blower.
4) Aux Pump Plumbing - When more pumps are added, this piping will not interconnect with the
heater control system. Follow the spa/hot tub manufactures instruction for connection, and safety
suction requirement
5) Understand in advance the spa manufactures plumbing design for ozone delivery and make
accommodation in your plumbing plan.
To allow for safe operation of the spa/hot tub, the suction fittings must be agency approved and rated
Max Flow capacity.
After plumbing is complete, secure the Hydro-Quip Equipment System with the appropriate
hardware.

The Hydro-Quip 8000 series incorporates the most advanced controls in the industry, and
are designed for years of trouble free operation. However, for year round success, review
these design recommendations for extreme weather areas.
*For best results, review this manual completely before starting your project.
Hot weather conditions
Water temperatures can be elevated from high outside “ambient” temperatures. If this
occurs, remove the insulating cover and add cool water until the heat has dissipated to a
safe level
Hot temperatures and/or direct sunlight to the equipment system can cause temporary
operational problems.
Pumps are equipped with special overload devises to self protect when encountering
extreme heat conditions. All motors are equipt with an automatic reset device, and will
resume operation when they become cool. Pumps can be enclosed, but require adequate
ventilation
Direct sunlight on equipment can bring temperatures beyond the allowable point for
circuits to function correctly. The system will shut off into a protection mode (see
troubleshooting guide.) To prevent this condition, plan an equipment cover that
incorporates shade, access and ventilation
Freezing weather conditions
If you wish to utilize/operate your system during seasons that may experience freezing
temperatures, please incorporate pipe insulation, draining capabilities and incorporate
an equipment cover that protects from snow and freezing rain. In all cases standing water,
and snow should not be allowed to accumulate in or around the equipment.
If you wish to winterize your spa/hot tub, please contact your spa/hot tub manufacturer or
local area pool/spa/hot tub professional for details.
In all cases make a plan for system draining in case of a power loss. Where possible,
design plumbing drains and disconnects to evacuate water before it becomes frozen and
does system damage.
Note the 8000 systems incorporate a freeze sensing technology, that will automatically
operate the pumps when temperatures drop below 43F. Moving the water will not allow
pipes and equipment to form ice.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
NOTICE! Before attempting installation of this equipment system, read all the
information contained in this manual, and confirm the installing electrician understands
and follows all national and local codes and safety instructions.
All connections must be made by a qualified and licensed electrician in accordance with
the National Electrical Code (NEC article 680 Canadian Electric Code, and with any local
codes in effect at the time of installation.
All connections must be made according to the electrical installation label on the outside
of the system box (see page 33) Follow all instructions provided in this manual, and at
labeled connections. If your electrician in unclear on how to correctly connect this
equipment, call your system supplier. Note that damage caused by mistakes can be
costly, and invalidate your warranty.
A GFCI (Ground fault circuit interrupter) breaker is a mandatory electrical device required
for installation on all pool/spa applications as specified in the National Electrical Code
Article 680-42.
The GFCI must be properly sized, and be connected with the appropriate sized wire per
NEC Code Table 310-16. All ground wires must be connected per NEC Table 250-122
Follow the instructions provided in this manual (see pages 7-9) for proper location and
connection of this safety device
This equipment requires a dedicated electrical supply circuit, with no other appliances or
lights connected.
IMPORTANT – The NEC and most local codes require that an electrical “disconnect” be
installed within “line of site” of the spa
Use copper conductors only, with grounding wire properly sized per the National Electric
Code table 250-95.
A bonding lug has been provided on the control box, allowing connection to local ground
points. To reduce the risk of electrical shock, use only a properly sized copper bonding
wire from this lug to all metal ladders, water pipes and other metallic objects within 5 feet
of the spa/hot tubs edge.
CAUTION: Damage may occur to the circuit board and spaside if the spaside
plug is not properly aligned to the receptacle on the circuit board or if the
spaside plug is connected or disconnected while the power is on.
**Any resulting damages are not covered under manufacturer’s warranty**
CAUTION: Do not connect or disconnect any components while the power is on.
All connections must be done with the power off as it may cause damage to the
system.
**Any resulting damages are not covered under manufacturer’s warranty**

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
This equipment system has been100% factory tested for quality and reliability prior to
shipping. Care should be taken on all electrical connections to avoid damage to the system
circuit board, and added components. Damage caused by accidents, improper wiring
configurations and/or abuse voids your warranty.
Start by having your electrician select a wiring configuration that best fits your total system
needs. (see the GFCI breaker sizing matrix on page 8)
Due to the availability of GFCI breaker sizes, and your electrical supply requirement, some
systems require a second independent or “dual” power source, to supply the electric heater
separately. Diagrams for independent heater wiring are provided in this manual.
Note; 5.5kw systems using a single source power supply will not allow electric heater
operation when pumps are in high speed. See system programming to change operation if
available.
System Type Heater size Connection type
Gas heat none Single source power supply
Electrical heat 5.5kw Single source power supply
Electrical heat 5.5kw Dual source power supply
Electrical heat 11.0kw Dual source power supply
Gas/Electric Combo 5.5 or 11kw/Gas Single Source power supply
All Hydro-Quip 8000 series control systems require a 4 wire electrical supply, incorporating
a “Neutral” wire for operation. Electric heaters being powered independently in the “dual”
circuit configuration do not require a neutral wire supply. This is clearly explained in the
wiring diagrams.
For gas heaters electrical connection, consult your gas heaters supplier manual, and note
in this manual contains important wiring instructions for control and operation of the gas
heaters fireman circuit.
Gas and electric heater combination
When faster heat recovery is desired, or a redundant heat source is a priority, it’s possible
to install both a gas and electric heater on the same 8000 series system.
Default programming allows both the gas heater control circuit (page 15) and electric
heater circuit to operate simultaneously. Input from both heat sources will speed up heating
times, and also provide an operating alternate if one source becomes disabled. You must
follow all installation instructions for both the gas heater, and electric heater plumbing and
wiring requirements to successfully connect. No PCB programming change is required.

COMPONENT CONNECTION
The system is set up to have components hardwired to a terminal strip inside the upper enclosure.
Liquid tight conduit must be used on all externally added field connections exposed to the weather.
Route and connect the conduit to the knock-outs in the back of the lower box. The wires will then
enter the bottom of the upper box through another set of knock-outs. Connect the component(s)
accordingly to the corresponding position on the terminal strip and tighten securely. Refer to the
included wiring diagram as needed. All components not included with the system are set at the
factory for 120V. Verify the voltage of the additional component(s) and adjust supply voltage if
necessary by referring to System Configuration on page 10.
