BONDING OVERVIEW
The Hydrostride and Hydraulic Power Unit MUST be tied into the pool's bonding grid. Refer to Figure 24 below.
1. All Hydrostride shipments include bonding hardware. When installing the Hydrostride in a gunite/concrete pool,
bonding clamps are to be attached to the threaded rods of the Hydrostride and Grab Bar mounting kits, which are
tied into the rebar grid of the pool. Before shooting gunite, a #8 solid copper wire MUST be attached to each bonding
clamp and then attached to a bonding connection that's incorporated into the pool's bonding grid. For steel panel
pools, the steel structure should be incorporated into the pools bonding grid.
2. When the Hydrostride is being mounted on the pool wall, the #8 solid copper wire, attached during the assembly of
the unit, MUST be attached to the left threaded rod/threaded stud protruding into the pool. Making this connection
will ensure that the metal components of the Hydrostride are connected to the pool's bonding grid.
3. Outside of the pool, the Hydraulic Power Unit and power unit controller MUST be tied to the pool' bonding grid with
a #8 solid copper wire. This is typically done by extending the bonding wire from the existing pool equipment (heater,
pump, etc.) and attaching to the bonding connections located on the power unit and power unit controller.
4. The bonding grid should be verified by testing the continuity between all metallic components around the pool.
