IMPORTANT

Electrical

All electrical work should be performed by a fully qualified and licensed
electrician in accordance with local electrical codes.
An adequate circuit breaker and copper wiring must be used. Electrical
requirements are available on the name plate of the pool heat pump. It may be
necessary to install an earth leakage circuit breaker.
THE POOL HEAT PUMP MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE
!
OPENING THE ACCESS PANEL.
WARNING

Electrical Connection

Standard 60 Hz power supply : 208/240 v - 60Hz-1 phase
Standard 50 Hz power supply : 208/240 v - 50Hz-1 phase
3 phase power supply : 200/230 v - 50/60 Hz - 3 phase
380/420 v - 50/60 Hz - 3 phase

Breaker Size

Please consult name plate on the base or the side of your pool heat pump for
starting amperage and required breaker size.

Electrical Wire Size

Please consult a qualified and licensed electrician.

WARNING
The power cable ground must be connected to the electrical panel and to the
ground lug of the pool heat pump. An improper installation may be a potential
cause of fire, electrical shock or injury.

Bonding

!
VITAL
Because all metals have different electrical potentials, ALL metal and electrical components of
the pool system MUST be bonded together. This includes the metal framework of the pool, the
light, the pump, the filter (if metal), the pool heat pump, any automatic chlorine generator, and any
other metal or electrical equipment bonded to your pool.
On some older pools, this substructure bond wire may not exist. In these cases, a 3 - 4 foot solid
copper rod must be driven into the ground near equipment; all electric and metal components
must be bonded to each other, and to the copper rod. Warranty will be voided if system is not
properly bonded.
CAUTION: Some of these systems may leak stray voltage and currents into the water causing
severe electrolysis. This dramatically shortens the life of the pool heat pump and will void the
warranty.
When an automatic chlorinator is installed on a pool circulation system, it is important the
equipment is correctly installed and bonded (earthed). Some systems may leak stray voltage
and currents into the water causing severe electrolysis which could shorten the life of the pool
heat pump.
NOTE: Bonding to pool pump is not required to above ground pool pumps but all other
equipment must be bonded.
