    Randy, have you ever worked with 240 volts before, you are going to need some additional electrical skills and probably a 240 v 50 amp GFCI and a disconnect.

    Depending on the spa manufacturer and if the system is 240v it could be a three wire system or it could be a four wire system. If you have no electrical back ground or knowledge about wiring you should seek the help of a qualified professional. You don't won't to wire the tub wrong and end up burning up the spa or worse burning down your home. I would suggest that you seek the help of a professional.

    This does not sound like any sort of factory built tub. From the description I have no idea what is going on. Way too vague for me.

    veljovic, any way you can post pics?

    What are the chances we can convince you that this is not a safe job for an inexperienced DIYer to attempt? There is too much at stake with this type of thing!
