My Blue Ridge Spa-
Some points to remember while viewing this forum/topic/blog:

1. I got it **FREE** off Craigslist, so gimme a break
2. After some research on the web (read:google) I found not much on blue ridge spas.
3. If you know something about blue ridge spas, have a link, can help me out, please email me.

I have a short To-Do list:
1. Rebuild both manifolds
2. Make an extension/plug for the 240v
3. replace the heater cap and locking collar.

can someone check this and make sure im not gonna fry something?? (mostly me!!)
I plan on using #6 wire for the installation.
The Black and Red wire will lead to a 50amp breaker, not the 30amp in the pic.
Side note: I think the GREEN wire should run to the left side grounding block, not the right side NEUTRAL block. Is this correct??

Heres the manifoldas I have to re build. I think they are both water manifolds.

I think this is the proper way to connect my three wire tub up to the house...

So, I have this outlet hanging off the bottom of my main breaker box:



It connects to the bottom right 30amp dual pole breaker:



Looks to me like standard 14/2 wire connecting them.

I can't use any of this for my tub, can I???

GREAT!! I get a killer hot tub off of Craigslist, and now I need a GFCI breaker to hook it up to the main. If you've removed a hot tub, or need one removed, please please lemme know. I need the GFCI breaker from it. The cheapest i could find is 100 bucks, and I aint got that kinda dough. If you have a breaker and wanna swap something for it, lemme know. I gotta ton of stuff I'd trade for one, just no cash on hand. If you know a friend that had a tub removed, lemme know.
thanks for reading this, and God Bless......

Got Parts?? I have to replace two manifolds and figure out the wiring. Is there a way to test this pump/ozonator/spa pack before i go dropping any money into this thing?? If its a couple hundred bucks, ok, but 5 or 6 won't work.

Also, I pulled the plywood off the bottom to replace it, and there's watermarks on it. Is that normal?? Should I be worried the tub leaks?? The bottom 1x4 has to be replaced. Should I use pre treated lumber, or should I use regular old wood.

Thanks for your time and help,

I have a Blue Ridge Spa (which doesn't work, by the way) and could copy the owner's manual for you if you are in need. Let me know.
