Application: Marina and dock electrical safety systems
The DanBi 8675 Series features a programmable microprocessor that monitors current-sensing devices and automatically disconnects power during ground faults. Installed at the shoreline, it provides comprehensive protection for feeders, subpanels, shore power, and downstream circuits.
Key Functions:
Electric Shock Drowning (ESD) is a real danger at marinas and docks. The 2023 NEC now requires ground fault protection on all wiring at docking facilities, not just receptacles. Most existing marinas are non-compliant and expose users to substantial risks.

555.1 ScopeApplication: Pool systems requiring a salt chlorinator and heater interlocking with variable speed pumps
The DanBi 9020 Series provides GFCI protection independent of panel manufacturer and pump type. It interlocks salt chlorinators and pool heaters with variable speed pumps by detecting actual pump operation rather than relying on timers or flow switches.

Manufacturer Requirements
The following are excerpts from the installation manuals for several manufacturers: JANDY Jandy AquaPure® Electronic Salt Water Chlorinator Installation and Operation Manual “The power pack must be interlocked/interconnected with the pool pump motor power source to ensure that the chlorinator only operates when the pool pump is operating. The flow sensor feature of the chlorinator cell is intended to be used as a backup only and should not be used as the sole source of flow detection.” “Power supply must be interconnected with Pool Pump motor power source. This insures the chlorinator and pool pump will turn on and off together.” Jandy VS FloPro Variable-Speed Pumps Installation and Operation Manual RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect only to a branch circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. Jandy JXi Gas-Fired Pool and Spa Heater Installation and Operation Manual “NOTE: If you install a time clock to control the filter pump operation, it is recommended that the time clock have its own low voltage (Fireman’s) switch to turn off the heater before turning off the pump. The switch should shut off the heater about 15 minutes before the filter pump shuts off…To avoid damage to the heater, do not connect the power supply of the heater to the output side of the clock if your time clock simply interrupts the high voltage power supply or has a high voltage output…The blower must be allowed to run for 45 seconds after the heater shuts off.” PENTAIR Pentair INTELLICHLOR® POWER CENTER Installation and User’s Guide “CHLORINE GAS BUILDUP CAN OCCUR WITH IMPROPER WIRING: To reduce the risk of personal injury the IntelliChlor® Salt Chlorinator Power Center must be installed on and wired to the load side of the time clock, electronically controlled switch, or relay load side, so that it will receive power only when the pool pump is on. Otherwise, dangerous chlorine gas buildup can occur. The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator should never be energized when the pool pump is OFF and water is not flowing through the unit.” “The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator Power Centers must be interconnected with the pool pump motor power source. This ensures the IntelliChlor Salt Chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off together.” “The power supply must be interconnected with pool pump motor power source. This insures the IntelliChlor chlorinator and pool pump will switch on and off together.” Pentair INTELLIFLO Variable Speed Pump Installation and User’s Guide “RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuitinterrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI.” Pentair MasterTemp Heater Installation and User Guide “Any switches in the pump circuit (including circuit breakers) that can disconnect the pump must also disconnect the heater.” HAYWARD Hayward® Aqua Rite Pro Electronic Chlorine Generator Owner’s Manual “Input Power: Wire the AquaRite Pro to the LOAD SIDE of the filter pump timer. It is very important that the AquaRite Pro is powered only when the pump is running.” Hayward 1.65 THP VS Pump Family Owner’s Manual Risk of Electric Shock. In accordance with the National Electric Code (NEC), connect only to a branch circuit protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Contact a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that the circuit is protected by a GFCI. The unit must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI). Hayward Pool-Spa Gas Heaters Installation and Operations Manual “The electrical equipment must be connected only to a supply circuit that is protected by a ground-fault circuit-interrupter (GFCI)…The operation of the heater with the pump shut off could cause heater overheating and fire. Never operate heater with the pump shut off.”Application: Commercial and residential pools requiring comprehensive safety monitoring
The DanBi 9510 Series features the most advanced microprocessor system, monitoring current, vacuum pressure, and flow rates. It includes flow sensors for GPM verification, vacuum sensors for entrapment prevention, and HMI components for real-time monitoring and remote access.

Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy (DOE)
Per Docket No. EERE-2017-BT-STD-0048, variable-speed pool pumps will be mandatory for powering the filtration system of any spa or pool. This is due to a new U.S. Department of Energy regulation that will require all pumps past a certain horsepower rating to meet an efficiency threshold effective July 19, 2021. This applies to motors between one and five horsepower used in pool and spa applications.
Florida Health Department Regulations Chapter 64E-9
Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act and Florida Statutes Chapter 514
A public swimming pool or spa must be equipped with an anti-entrapment system or device which includes an automatic pump shut-off system. Virginia Graeme Baker was a seven-year-old girl who drowned when she was trapped underwater by the powerful suction of a hot tub drain. Consequently, the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act (P&SS Act) was enacted by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush on December 19, 2007. Designed to prevent the tragic and hidden hazard of drain entrapments and eviscerations in pools and spas, the law became effective on December 19, 2008.
