hot tub & spa wiring in Palo Alto: FAQ
What does a hot tub need electrically in Palo Alto?+
Most hot tubs need a dedicated 240V GFCI-protected circuit, a disconnect within sight but at least 5 ft from the water (NEC 680.12), and equipotential bonding so everything around the water sits at the same potential. We size it, install it, and permit it in Santa Clara County.
Why is bonding such a big deal near water?+
Because water plus electricity is where shocks turn deadly. Equipotential bonding ties the pump, rails, and reinforcing together so there's no voltage difference to shock you. It's required by NEC 680 — and it's exactly the kind of code step a licensed C-10 doesn't skip.
