¿¿¿WHAT IS A GFCI???

A ‘Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter’ is an electrical safety device designed to measure electrical leakage in a circuit. It is far more sensitive than a standard circuit breaker. GFCI equipped breakers and outlet combinations react to unsafe leakage and shut the power off before electrical shock injury can occur. Any electrical device used within 10 feet of a pool must be protected by a GFCI equipped outlet or a GFCI equipped circuit breaker and be intended for such use.

SECTION IV. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR PERMANENT POOLS

NOTE

To install the transformer assembly for permanent above ground pools, several modifications must be completed.

WARNING

Disconnect all power before cutting cords to length. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or death.

This installation requires cutting the two cords to specified lengths.

Risk of electrical shock. Permanent installations must be performed by a licensed electrical professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code and any Local Codes that apply. Failure to do so could result in personal injury and/or death.

1.Identify the cord from the transformer assembly to the snap-on cord cap and cut it at a distance of five (5) feet from the transformer assembly; see Figure 9.

2.Strip a 2 inch section of the outer insulation jacket from the cord. This will expose the two insulated conductors of the cord; see Figure 10.

3.Remove the strain relief and the snap-on cord cap from the cut section of cord. To remove the strain relief it is necessary to use a pair of strain relief pliers; if these are not available, then a pair of needle- nose pliers can be used. Compress the lower tab against the upper part of the strain relief from the inside of the cap while pushing the cord and the strain relief through the cap; see Figure 11.

4.Route cord through the cord hole in the body; see Figure 12.

Quasar specifications

Pentair Quasar is an innovative pool and spa filtration system designed to enhance water quality while providing exceptional energy efficiency and ease of use. Known for its advanced engineering and robust features, the Quasar series stands out in the competitive world of pool maintenance.

One of the key features of the Pentair Quasar is its advanced filtration technology, which integrates multi-layer filtration media to effectively capture both large debris and microscopic particles. This results in exceptionally clean water, ensuring that pool owners can enjoy crystal-clear swimming conditions. The multi-layer system minimizes the need for frequent filter changes, thus significantly reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

The Quasar utilizes cutting-edge pump technology, designed to operate efficiently at varying flow rates. This dynamic performance allows for optimal circulation without wasting energy, catering to different pool sizes and requirements. The variable-speed pumps are engineered to deliver silent operation while achieving significant energy savings compared to traditional single-speed pumps. This aligns well with the growing trend towards sustainability in pool management.

Another standout characteristic is its user-friendly control system, which features intuitive touchscreen interfaces that allow for easy adjustments to temperature, filtration schedules, and maintenance alerts. The user-centric design ensures that operators, regardless of experience level, can manage water quality effectively. Moreover, this system can seamlessly integrate with modern smart home technologies, allowing users to monitor and control their pool environment remotely via mobile applications.

The Pentair Quasar also emphasizes durability and reliability. Constructed from high-quality materials resistant to corrosion and UV damage, the system is built to withstand the rigors of outdoor environments. Maintenance is simplified further by design elements that facilitate easy access to internal components, making routine servicing more convenient.

In addition, the Quasar series features advanced water sanitization technologies, including options for salt chlorination systems which promote a more natural swimming experience, free from harsh chemicals. This enhances swimmer comfort while maintaining the highest water sanitation standards.

In summary, the Pentair Quasar represents a leap forward in pool filtration technology. With its multi-layer filtering capabilities, energy-efficient pumps, intuitive control systems, and enhanced durability, it offers an optimal solution for homeowners looking to maintain pristine pool conditions with minimal effort and environmental impact. The Quasar is a testament to Pentair's commitment to innovation in water technology, making it a preferred choice for discerning pool enthusiasts.
