Prior to testing your installation for leaks, you
must
properly bond the Whirlpool Bath Heater to the
bonding system of your hydromassage bathtub (see Fig. 26). All Whirlpool Bath Heaters come
equipped with a bonding lug
and 8AWG bonding wire specifically for this purpose. Refer to bathtub
manufacturers instructions to locate the bonding system. All electrical wiring and bonding must be
done as specified in Article 680, National Electric Code and your local Building Code.
