Technical Electrical Brief: Week End 643/L
Requirement: 25 Amp Dedicated Supply
To ensure your Week End 643/L is commissioned safely and ready for use on delivery day, a certified 25 Amp electrical supply must be installed prior to our arrival.
IMPORTANT: PROPERTY REQUIREMENTS VARY. A 25 Amp draw is a substantial, dedicated load. You must consult a qualified, registered electrician to conduct a site-specific assessment of your property’s consumer unit and total load capacity to ensure it can support this spa safely.
1. Professional Responsibility & Boundaries
To ensure a safe and compliant installation, please note:
-
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 Gecko Y2 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 infrastructure must be completed and tested by your electrician before we arrive.
2. The Specification (25 Amp High-Torque)
The 643/L features a 3kW heater and twin 3HP pumps. The 25 Amp supply is the "Sweet Spot" for this model—it provides enough amperage to keep the heater active while the pumps are in use, ensuring the water doesn't cool down during long social sessions.

3. Installation Mandatory Requirements
-
Rotary Isolator: A waterproof IP65-rated rotary isolator must be installed. For safety and emergency access, this must be positioned between 2 and 5 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 into the spa for the final connection.
-
Hardwired Only: This spa requires a 25 Amp hardwired connection. It cannot be used with a standard plug or a 13A/16A socket.
4. Arrival Readiness
Our delivery team follows a precise schedule to ensure all customers receive their "one hour before arrival" courtesy call. If we arrive and the electrical supply is not ready or does not meet the 25 Amp specification:
-
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.
