TYPICAL INSTALLATION OF RESIDENTIAL POOLS

level of the pool, it is necessary to pro-
vide valves as indicated in the drawing

be opened without draining the pool.
To protect against electrolysis, all
metal components of the water circu-
lation and heating systems must be
connected by a wire to ground the entire
system.
Filter housings must be grounded
DO NOT STORE CHEMICALS NEAR FILTER HOUSING
