ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Consider the electrical requirements for the specific installation before locating
the Water Quality System and gluing the plumbing parts. Different option
packages require different plumbing and electrical configurations. Further details
are available in the section titled, ELECTRICAL CONNECTION FOR THE WATER
QUALITY SYSTEM.
Standard Fastlane Pool package with no heater
The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is shipped with a whip coming from the Controller Box
mounted on the HPU. That whip is to be wired by an electrician from the power source into
the LINE side of the contactor and is intended to supply power to the unit. The Water
Quality System (WQS) pump comes with an electrical cord already attached. That cord will
be directly wired into the LOAD side of the contactor in the Controller Box. The WQS pump
will only run when the swim current is not in use.
Fastlane Pool Package with optional 5.5 kW Electric Heater
The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is shipped with a whip coming from the Controller Box
mounted on the HPU. That whip is to be wired by an electrician from the power source into
the LINE side of the contactor and is intended to supply power to the unit. Endless Pools,
Inc. provides an additional whip with an electrical junction box. During installation, this
junction box will be attached to the electric heater, and the Water Quality System (WQS)
pump's cord will feed into the junction box as well. The whip from the junction box is to be
wired to the LOAD side of the contactor in the Controller Box so that when the swim current
is not in use, the WQS pump and electric heater will be energized and available to clean
and heat the pool.
Fastlane Pool Package with optional 55,000 BTU Gas or Propane Heaters
The Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) is shipped with a whip coming from the Controller Box
mounted on the HPU. That whip is to be wired by an electrician from the power source into
the LINE side of the contactor and is intended to supply power to the unit. The electrical
configuration for a Water Quality System (WQS) with a gas or propane heater is similar to
that for an electric heater. However, the junction box is not provided by Endless Pools, Inc.
and two additional electrical whips are required. During installation, one whip from this
junction box will be attached to the heater, energizing the ignition switch. The WQS
pump's cord will feed into the junction box as well. The second whip that feeds into the
junction box that comes from the LOAD side of the contactor inside the Controller Box. The
heater and the Water Quality Pump will only run when the swim current is not in use.
