Electrical Installation Requirements (CANADA)
ordinances. A licensed or certified electrician must install the electrical system to meet or exceed those
requirements before the light is installed. Some of the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code
that must be met are listed below.
REFER TO THE NEXT PAGE FOR JUNCTION BOX REQUIREMENTS FOR
CANADIAN INSTALLS
•
Lights MUST BE connected to a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI), with an
appropriately rated circuit breaker. Refer to FIGURE 2 (Canadian Installs) below.
•
The GFCI breaker or transformer must be located at least 3 meters (10 feet) from
the edge of the pool/spa. Refer to FIGURE 5 (Canadian Installs) on page 5.
•
Bond the light fixture to all other metallic items within 3 meters (9.8 feet) of the pool/
spa, using a #6 AWG bond wire. The bonding lug is located at the rear of the niche.
Refer to FIGURE 5 (Canadian Installs) on page 5.
•
If non-metallic conduit is used, a #6 AWG bonding/grounding wire must be installed
through the conduit from the Junction Box to the bonding/grounding lug inside the
niche. Seal the bonding/grounding connection with a proper sealant to protect the
connection from possible pool/spa water corrosion. Refer to FIGURE 5 (Canadian
Installs) on page 5.
•
The niche must be installed so that the top edge of the light lens, when installed,
is at least 60 centimeters (23.6 inches) below the maximum water level. Refer to
FIGURE 5 (Canadian Installs) on page 5.

FOR LIGHT OPERATION, ONLY USE A SAFETY ISOLATION TRANSFORMER.
USE ONLY PENTAIR NICHES TO INSURE PROPER BONDING AND
GROUNDING CONNECTIONS.
Ensure that the pool/spa electrical system meets the requirements of the
current Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and all applicable local codes and
