¿¿¿WHAT IS A GFCI???

A ‘Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter’ is an electrical safety device designed to measure

electrical leakage in a circuit. It is far more sensitive than a standard circuit breaker.

GFCI equipped breakers and outlet combinations react to unsafe leakage and shut the

power off before electrical shock injury can occur. Any electrical device used within 10

feet of a pool must be protected by a GFCI equipped outlet or a GFCI equipped circuit

breaker and be intended for such use.

SECTION IV.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR PERMANENT POOLS

NOTE

To install the transformer assembly for permanent above ground pools, several modifications must be
completed.

WARNING

Disconnect all power before cutting cords to length. Failure to do so could result in

personal injury and/or death.
This installation requires cutting the two cords to specified lengths.
Risk of electrical shock. Permanent installations must be performed by a licensed

electrical professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any Local

Codes that apply. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or death.

1. Identify the cord from the transformer assembly to the snap-on cord cap and cut it at a distance of

five (5) feet from the transformer assembly; see Figure 9.

2. Strip a 2 inch section of the outer insulation jacket from the cord. This will expose the two

insulated conductors of the cord; see Figure 10.

3. Remove the strain relief and the snap-on cord cap from the cut section of cord. To remove the strain

relief it is necessary to use a pair of strain relief pliers; if these are not available, then a pair of needle-
nose pliers can be used. Compress the lower tab against the upper part of the strain relief from the
inside of the cap while pushing the cord and the strain relief through the cap; see Figure 11.

4. Route cord through the cord hole in the body; see Figure 12.
