23. 23. Bonding & Grounding Bonding & Grounding
All of the electrical components supplied by Endless™ Pools are UL or CSA approved and must be installed in accordance
with local electric codes by a licensed local electrician. Bonding and Grounding are an important part of that process.
All electrical components have bonding lugs and should be bonded together and to the steel pool panels. A bonding
conductor shall be solid copper not smaller than 8 AWG and may be insulated, covered or bare. If new construction is
involved where reinforcing rods are installed in the concrete under or adjacent to the pool, this should be included in the
bonding circuit.
A #8 AWG bare copper wire and Bonding Kit is provided in the Hydraulic/Electrical Connections Kit to bond the
equipment. Attach the copper wire to the bonding lug on the underside of the Hydraulic Power Unit Controller (A) and
through the Bonding Lug (B) on the corner of the reservoir lid. Route the wire with the hydraulic hoses to the front of
the pool. Included in the Bonding Kit is a Drill Bit, Machine Screw/Nut, and a Bonding Lug. Drill a hole through one of the
Z-Braces close to the Heater-Controller and then attach the Bonding Lug (C) to the Z-Brace (D) using the screw and nut.
Feed the copper wire through the lug on the Z-brace and then attach it to the bonding bar located at the base of the
Heater-Controller (E) (Fig. 52).
Attach a length of copper wire to the bonding lug located on each piece of equipment (Circulation Pump (F), optional
Hydrotherapy Jet Pump, optional Gas Heater, optional UV Sanitizer (G), etc). Attach the opposite end of each wire to the
bonding bar at the base of the Heater-Controller (Fig. 52).
