SWIMMING POOL HEAT PUMP
Manual
5. Electrical Connections
5.1 Electrical
The wiring of your pool heat pump should be performed by a qualified electrician
in accordance with local requirements. A properly-sized breaker and copper wire
must be used. Check the heat pump data label for required maximum breaker size
² Important
The unit must always be powered off before opening the access panel.
5.2 Bonding
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 made out of metal), the
heater, any automatic chlorine generator, and any other metal or electrical
equipment. On some older pools, this substructure bond wire may not exist. In these
cases, a 6 to 8 foot solid copper rod must be driven into the ground near the
equipment. All electric and metal components must then be bonded to each other,
and then to the copper rod.
² Important
² Check valve must be installed between the heater and any automatic chlorine
distribution system (if used);
² Any kind of automatic chlorine distribution system must be installed after or
downstream of the heat pump;
² The filter must be placed before or upstream from the heat pump;
² A bypass and shut-off should be installed on all systems for ease of service,
maintenance and to balance the water flow. Bypasses must be installed on any
system with over a 3/4 HP pool pump.
The installation of the pool heater should be performed by a certified electrician. To
connect the electricity, you must unscrew the two screws under the front panel, then
slide the electric cable through the knock out located on the left or the right side of
the base, and then insert it in the control box.
