Section 3. Installing the Grand Effects®
Freestanding Waterfalls
3.1 Preparing the Waterfall for Installation
Metallic equipment, including metallic gas piping, shall be bonded in
accordance with the National Electrical Code in the US, and Canadian
Electrical Code in Canada.
BONDING
In the United States the National Electrical Code® (NEC®) and in Canada
the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC), require that all metallic components
of a pool structure, including reinforcing steel, metal fittings and above
ground components be bonded together (forming an equipotential bonding
grid) with a solid copper conductor not smaller than an 8 AWG (6 AWG in
Canada).
Additionally, Fluidra requires that, as required by Article 680 of the NEC, the
appliance be properly connected to an equipotential bonding grid/loop that
includes all electrical equipment in the system and on the equipment pad.
Bonding lugs must be connected with a solid copper wire at least 8 AWG (6
AWG in Canada) or larger. Failure to do so may void the Fluidra warranty.
CAUTION
To prevent premature failure of the appliance resulting from stray
voltages and voltage differentials, the stainless steel waterfall must be
bonded to other equipment which is part of the pool plumbing system
with a solid copper wire not smaller in diameter than 8 AWG (6 AWG in
Canada).
BONDING A METAL WATERFALL (COPPER OR ALUMINUM)
Note: The Waterfall anchor contains a bonding lug on one of its legs.
See Figure 1.
1. Loosen the setscrew.
2. Insert the bond wire into the hole.
3. Tighten the setscrew until the bond wire is secured into place.
4. Run the free end of the bond wire to the nearest equipotential bonding
grid/loop that includes all electrical equipment in the system and on the
equipment pad.

See water flow column in Section 2.3 Technical Information.
3.3 Installing the Waterfall
1. For all waterfalls, install the anchor at the height of the top of the deck
and connect the bonding cable to the anchor by wrapping the bonding
wire around the bonding lug. See Figures 2 through 6.
NOTE: Be careful not to remove the protective lm from the anchor.

2. Connect the pipe, ensuring that the top of the anchor is kept at the
same level as the deck. See Figure 7.

Figure 7. Waterfall Plumbing Connections
3. Create a footing of cement around the anchor and piping to provide
a solid base for the waterfall. The footing should extend at least 3”
beyond the perimeter of the anchor and be at a depth of at least twice
that of the legs of the anchor. See anchor dimensions on pages 7-9.
Depth = 2 x Height of Anchor Legs
