Pool Plumbing and Electric
As a pool remodeler that deals with many pools built in the 2012’s, to 2022’s, we come across fifties of pools that were plumbed common and standard for residential indoor plumbing. This is not the case with modern pools that are now plumbed using PVC piping. A pump works more efficiently pushing water through 2” PVC pipe compared to a 1” copper pipe.
Older pools also tend to have been built with outdated electrical conduit running from the main breaker to the pool equipment. The old galvanized conduit corrodes underground which can leave wires exposed causing dangerous stray currents to pass through the ground. It is common for our company to update the electrical conduit and wires during a pool renovation project.
How do I know if my electrical system is up to code?
- City inspectors will look for a few things during a pool remodel to ensure your electrical system is safe.
- They will check to make sure your pool light is wired to a Junction box that is above the level of the deck. If a light is wired to a deck box, they will require that to be upgraded.
- They will require a GFCI(ground fault circuit interrupter) be installed at the light switch and pool equipment.
- If your decks are being replaced, they will require a bonding wire clamped at 4 points around your pool and spa.
