flow rates are compatible. Never operate the spa if the suction fit-
tings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one
rated less than the flow rate marked on the original suction fitting.

conductor attached to the wire connector on the grounding lug,
inside the equipment compartment on the equipment box.
