2 a) Electrical: Electrical work must be performed by a qualified Electrician 

and comply with the  Canadian Electrical Code or the American National 
Standard Electrical Code lnforce.

Table 02.

The wire sizes to be used are as follows:

For installation see Wiring Schematic figure 03.

In Accordance with The Electrical Code in effect

b)

A green coloured terminal (or a wire connector marked “C”,“GP”. “Ground”
or “Grounding”) is provided within the control box. To reduce the risk 
of electric shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding 
terminal of the electric service or supply panel with a continuous green 
insulated copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit  conductors

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

SHOWING BY PASS

Caution:

i) Do not store chlorine near or in the same room as heater.

ii) Valves must not be installed in the piping on the 

outlet of heater to the pool.

iii) Use PVC cement for connecting leakage current collectors 

into tank body and use teflon tape as sealer in the threads 
for drain plug.

d) 

Water Flow

The water flow in GPM should not exceed the following limits:

Table 01

Important:

Systems with higher GPM ratings will require a bypass around Heater.
This would be necessary if a high velocity pump is employed in the system.

Recommended:

Add water softener for longer heater life.
