Additionally, Zodiac Pool Systems LLC, requires that as required by Article
680 of the NEC, the appliance be properly connected to an equipotential
bonding grid/loop that includes all electrical equipment in the system and
on the equipment pad. Bonding lugs must be connected with a solid copper
wire at least 8 AWG (6 AWG in Canada) or larger. Failure to do so may void
the Zodiac Pool Systems LLC warranty.
CAUTION
To prevent premature failure of the appliance resulting from stray
voltages and voltage differentials, the metal bowl and burner must be
bonded to other equipment which is part of the pool plumbing system
with a solid copper wire not smaller in diameter than 8 AWG (6 AWG in
Canada).
