Technical Electrical Brief: Garden Leisure 330
Category: Requirement: 16 Amp Dedicated Supply
To ensure your Garden Leisure 330 is commissioned and ready for use on delivery day, a certified electrical supply must be installed prior to our arrival.
IMPORTANT: PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS VARY. Domestic wiring standards and consumer unit capacities differ significantly from home to home. You must consult a qualified, registered electrician to conduct a site-specific assessment of your property’s electrical infrastructure.
1. Professional Responsibility & Boundaries
To ensure a safe and professional installation, please note the following:
-
OUR ROLE: We are professional spa technicians. Our expertise is in the positioning, hydraulic setup, and final connection from your pre-installed isolator to the spa's internal control pack.
-
YOUR ROLE: You are responsible for providing the appropriate electrical supply. We are not domestic electricians and are not qualified or insured to install house wiring, circuit breakers, or rotary isolators. This work must be completed and tested by your electrician before we arrive.
2. The Specification (16 Amp Performance)
The Garden Leisure 330 is a high-performance spa featuring 30 hydrotherapy jets and a 2kW heater. A dedicated 16 Amp supply is required to ensure the heater can stay active while the pump is running on its high-speed massage setting.

3. Installation Mandatory Requirements
-
Rotary Isolator: A waterproof IP65-rated rotary isolator must be installed. For safety and compliance, this must be positioned between 2 and 3 metres from the spa.
-
The "Tail" Cable: Your electrician must provide a length of 3-core SWA Armoured Cable connected to the load side of the isolator.
-
Required Length: Please leave at least 5 metres of spare cable coiled at the isolator location. Our team will route this to the spa for the final connection.
-
No Plug & Play: This spa is a hardwired 16 Amp unit. It must never be connected via an extension lead or a standard 13A household socket. Doing so is a significant fire risk and will void your warranty.
4. Arrival Readiness
Our delivery team is on a strict schedule to ensure all customers receive their "one hour before arrival" courtesy call. If we arrive and the electrical supply is not ready, is under-rated, or is unsafe:
-
We will not make the electrical connection.
- The spa will be left empty and cannot be tested or commissioned.
A Return Visit Fee will be charged to come back and complete the connection once your electrician has provided the correct supply.
