Brief History of the Pool Defender® Skimmer Line:

CMP’s Pool Defender® series represents the next generation of safety-focused pool components. Introduced to simplify compliance with National Electrical Code requirements, the Pool Defender® skimmer incorporates an internal bonding lug that connects the water to the pool’s electrical ground path—an innovation designed to protect swimmers from stray electrical currents and reduce installation time for builders.

Installation Tips & Electrical Guidance:

• 🧰 Water Bonding Made Simple: Attach the bonding wire to the integrated copper lug using a #8 solid copper conductor per NEC 680.26(c). No external water bond fitting is needed.

• 📏 Flush Mounting: Align the skimmer mouth with the desired waterline before gunite application. Use a support brace or tie-wire frame to maintain skimmer position.

• 💧 Dual Port Versatility: Use the second port for vacuum assist or equalizer functionality to maintain flow and prevent pump cavitation.

• 🧪 Glue Joints: Use high-grade PVC primer and cement for secure and watertight connections.

• ⚠️ Bonding Tip: Always test continuity between bonding components to ensure safety compliance.
