Technical Electrical Brief: Cove Crown II
Requirement: 16 Amp / 20 Amp Dedicated Supply
To ensure your Cove Crown II is commissioned on the day of delivery, a compatible and certified electrical supply must be ready for us to connect to.
IMPORTANT: PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS VARY. Electrical infrastructure differs from home to home. You must consult a qualified, registered electrician to conduct a site-specific assessment of your property’s consumer unit and load capacity.
1. Our Responsibility vs Your Responsibility
It is essential to understand the boundaries of our service to avoid delays on delivery day:
-
OUR ROLE: We are professional spa technicians. We are responsible for the physical positioning of the tub and the final connection from your provided isolator switch to the spa’s internal control pack.
-
YOUR ROLE: You are responsible for the installation of the appropriate electrical supply. We are not qualified or insured to install domestic wiring, circuit breakers, or rotary isolator switches. This work must be completed and tested by your electrician prior to our arrival.
2. The Specification (Performance Standard)
The Crown II requires a dedicated supply to ensure the 2kW heater and the high-speed pump can operate simultaneously.

3. Installation Mandatory Requirements
-
Rotary Isolator: Your electrician must install an IP65-rated waterproof rotary isolator located between 2 and 3 metres from the hot tub. This is a legal safety requirement.
-
The "Tail" Cable: A length of 3-core SWA Armoured Cable must be connected to the load side of the isolator.
-
Length: Ensure your electrician leaves at least 5 metres of spare cable coiled at the isolator. Our team will route this to the spa.
-
No Extension Leads: Under no circumstances can this spa be powered via an extension lead or a standard 13A household socket. Doing so is a fire risk and will void your warranty.
4. Failure to Prepare
If our delivery team arrives and the electrical supply is not present, is incorrectly rated, or has not been installed by a qualified professional:
-
We will not make the electrical connection.
-
We will position the tub and install accessories, but we cannot test or commission the system.
Return Visit Fees: A "Return to Commission" fee will apply for a second visit once you have corrected the electrical supply.
