Wiring hot tub
I just installed a 10 year old SunDance hot tub on concrete patio. Installed disconnect with #6-2 w/ground according to manual. Home Depot said I could use #8-2 w/ground to hookup from disconnect to hot tub. I ran wire in liquid-tite conduit and filled up tub and got shocked when running. To small wire? Or something else?

Wiring hot tub
Something else.
A hot tub is not a good place to start for someone that does not know anything about electrical work. PLEASE hire an electrician to make this right. |

Something else and you may allready created few major code volations so the best answer is get the electrician to assit you on this one.
This is more than just a basic stuff on hot tub there is a bit of rules we have to follow. Merci, Marc

At a minimum you have the wrong cable feeding the tub.
