When should I call a technician for code UPL?

A tech or the spa dealer needs to program the control. Water and electricity together can kill. Turn the equipment off at the breaker before you open anything, never touch equipment while standing in water, and stay out of the pool or spa if you feel tingling or suspect an electrical problem. Leave wiring, boards and GFCI faults to a licensed electrician or service tech.
