Bonding - Black & Decker BDXBT53 Instruction Manual

Installation & Operation Manual

3.4 Bonding

1. 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.
2. All electric and metal components must then be bonded
to each other, and then to the copper rod. Contact a
licensed electrician.

Note:
• A corrosion-resistant check valve is required for any
installation into a system with a sanitizer plumbed in with the
equipment. Failure to use a check valve that is corrosion-
resistant may void any future warranty claims.
• Any kind of automatic chlorine distribution system must be
installed after the heat pump.
•
The filter must be placed before the heat pump.
•
A 3x ball or 2x diverter valve 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.
