– While a GFCI is always recommended, adding a GFCI is not mandatory. A 15 Amp 120V waterproof GFCI can be field installed on the power cord of all Delta UV Systems (Except EA Series) at any time. Or, if you prefer, a GFCI electrical receptacle can be used to power the Delta UV unit, or a GFCI breaker can be installed in the electrical panel circuit that services the Delta UV unit. For 240V systems, the use of a GFCI breaker is the recommended method to use for GFCI protection. For most retrofit installations on pools installed within the past few years, a GFCI will most likely already be present. If the field retrofit weatherproof cord connected GFCI is used, it is easily installed on the end of the Delta UV Systems 120V electrical power cord. Installation is simple and takes only a few minutes by following the simple directions supplied. No special tools are required. The cord connected GFCI kit (Part # 70-09012) can be ordered directly from Delta Ultraviolet or your Dealer.
