Hi Gang, Just looking for someone to correct me if im wrong. I purchased a K-Star KS-5 5000 watt electric heater for my on ground pool. I will be using NMW AWG#10-3 wire on a GFI breaker. Now from the diagram it looks like i run the two Hot wires to the unit. red and black in my case. Normal to me and White is Neutral. But it looks like they want me to bond it to the input hose and the output hose. These are stanless colars i need to put in the return line on each side of the heater.
I gather this is to trip the GFI in case of a fault. Correct? I would have just bonded it to ground. but it the diagram has me second guessing. Ive attached it.
I babbled here but its been a long day.. Cheers.
