Question about electrical setup.

One more question

Let's say someday I do have access to a 4 prong receptacle. I will have a 3 prong plug bringing power to my spa panel.

So would I just be able to get a 4 prong plug to match the receptacle and only connect the 2 hots and neutral (leave ground empty on the plug)?

No. With the change to a 4 prong dryer outlet you would wire it this way:

I hope this helps you.

Gotchya. So I would need to rewire.

I would still keep the neutral capped off in my control box if I'm not using it correct?

Correct - IF - you have no 120V devices in your plan. (pumps - et. al.)

Which controller did you decide on, StillDragon? I am looking at the same controller and I had the same exact question you did about the neutral line.

I plan to add a GFCI breaker and run a line. I brew in the garage and the service panel is in the garage so it all works well for me.

Please post pics as soon as you begin your build!

Is this the correct wiring for the controller in the US?

That's the diagram that I've seen. But you should also ground the pot.

Hey guys, got everything wired up. I just wanted to triple check and make sure I did everything correctly. I remade this sketch of exactly how I wired it. If someone could take a look again that would be awesome. thanks!
