ELECTRICAL HOOK UP
The wiring of your heater should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance
with local code requirements
.
CAUTION!
The main power disconnect must be off before opening the access panel.
IMPORTANT!
The electrical conduit
must
be run up through the base of the unit and
connected at the control box with a conduit connector.
Check the heat pump data label for required breaker size.
Copper wire and a properly sized breaker must be used
.
WARNING!
The unit must always be powered off before opening the access panel.
BONDING
The National Electrical Code and most other codes require that all metallic components of a pool
structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings, and above ground equipment be bonded
together with a solid copper conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. The heat pump, along with
pumps and other pool equipment must be connected to this bonding grid. To ensure this
requirement is met, a bonding lug is provided on the front bottom right below the control access
panel (see drawing below). ALL metal and electrical components of the pool system must be
bonded together.
On many older pools, the bonding wire may not exist. In this case, a 6 to 8 ft.
copper rod must be driven into the ground near the pool equipment and all electrical and metal
components must be bonded to the rod.
Warranty will be void if system is not properly bonded
