Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all
national, state, and local codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment,
basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE:
Always turn pump off prior to installation
or service. Your pump/filter system is
operated under pressure and the
pressure must be released before
you begin work. Please see your
pump/filter owner’s manual for further
instructions.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire or injury, service should only be
attempted by a qualified pool service
professional.
Risk of electric shock: Install the
power center at least five (5) feet (1.52
m) from the inside wall of the pool and/
or hot tub using non-metallic plumbing.
Canadian installations must be at least
three (3) meters from the water.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock which can
result in serious injury or loss of
life: Before attempting to install or
service, ensure that all power to the
circuit supplying power to the system is
disconnected or turned off at the circuit
breaker. All wiring must be done in
accordance with the National Electrical
Code®(NEC)®, NFPA-70®, including
those in Article 680 - Swimming Pools,
Fountains, and Similar Installations.
In Canada, the Canadian Electrical
Code (CEC), CSA C22.1, must
be followed. All applicable local
installation codes and regulations
must be followed.
ATTENTION: The power center
and the chlorine generator control
center are not to be considered as
suitable for use as service equipment.
Therefore, it is required to have the
appropriate means of disconnection,
circuit isolation, and/or branch circuit
protection installed upstream of the
power/control center
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury do not
permit children to use this product
unless they are closely supervised at
all times.
WARNING
Risk of Accidental Drowning.
Extreme caution must be exercised
to prevent unauthorized access by
children. To avoid accidents, ensure
that children cannot use a spa or
hot tub unless they are closely
supervised at all times.
This appliance is not intended for use
by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have
been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
PREVENT CHILD DROWNING:
Do not let anyone, especially small
children, sit, step, lean or climb on any
equipment installed as part of your
pool’s operational system. Locate the
components of your operational system
at least 1 m (3 ft 3 in) from the pool
so children cannot use the equipment
to access the pool and be injured or
drown.
To reduce the risk of injury, do not remove
the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub.
Never operate a spa or hot tub if the
suction fittings are broken or missing.
Never replace a suction fitting with one
rated less than the flow rate marked on
the equipment assembly.
