Once they bring the equipment to your home to dig the pool, call or e-mail us so that we can get your job on our schedule. We will be in contact with Medallion Pools and the men working on your job to stay on top of their schedule and ours.
The electrical work consist of getting power from the breaker panel inside your home, getting power from the switch location to the light in the pool. This will require us to dig a trench 18” deep from the house to the pool pump location. All wiring for your pool will be installed in PVC (plastic) conduit. Once at the pool pump we install a white PVC post which will hold the switch, outlet, and salt generator (if you have one)
Next we install the conduit and wiring for the pool light(s). This conduit will run in a ditch 12”-18” deep from the post (were you decide for the switch to be) to the pool light(s).
Finally the grounding: The metal parts of the pool and other non electrical equipment associated with the pool such as piping, pool reinforcing steel, ladders, diving board supports, and fences within 5 feet of the pool shall be bonded together and connected to non current carrying metal parts of electrical equipment such as decorative type pool lighting fixtures not located in a forming shell, metal screens or shield for underwater speakers, conduit, junction boxes and the like, by a copper conductor not smaller than No. 8 AWG, which shall be connected to the pool motor ground or ground electrode.
The following sketch illustrates the requirements for pool bonding. The pool is now ready for the electrical inspection. |
