Swimming Pool Circuits & Panels
If you are looking to install swimming pool electrical power, you will likely need to have a separate sub-panel that runs the electric for your pool and related equipment. This panel will power equipment like the control systems, automatic covers, electronic heaters, time clocks, underwater lights, air blower, filter pump and even the GFCI electrical outlet, and more. This sub-panel is then tied to the main service panel service for your home.
Install Swimming Pool Electrical Panels
Any electrical components that will be near water, such as a spa or pool, will need to be protected using a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) device. This can be done using a GFCI circuit breaker or a GFCI outlet. If there happens to be an issue within the circuit, and you happen to touch it, or it touches something that it is not supposed to, then the device will shut down, and the circuit will shut itself down. This can save you and your family from being electrocuted. Electric for swimming pools should be done by someone who knows how to install pool electrical systems.
Should I Hire an Experienced Electrician for My Pool Panels
Unless you are an accomplished electrician yourself, you should hire a licensed electrician to properly install your pool panel. Experienced electricians will ensure that all work is carried out in accordance with local regulations. The installation of pool panels is complex, and it’s important to hire an electrician skilled with this type of work, avoiding any problems that can arise when you do the work yourself.
