Hayward Summit In Ground Heat Pump 65 000 BTUs Owners Manual - Page 10

Bonding ! CAUTION 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. Bonding and Plumbing step-by-step instructions 1. A 1/3 lb 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. 3. The filter must be placed before or upstream from the heat pump. 4. 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. (see FIG.3 for bypass plumbing) 8 OWNER'S MANUAL
