I have a pretty simple rule here: if you need to ask *how* to wire something safely, you are NOT qualified to do it safely!

Electricity and pools are a super-dangerous mix; mistakes kill people. (Over the years, other people's wiring mistakes have nearly killed me 3x at customer pools; a mistake I made 25 years ago with a pool vacuum system, nearly killed a lifeguard at a 4th pool!)

So . . . I don't allow electrical how-to advice, for do-it-yourselfers. Sorry -- but I'm doing you a favor -- really!

And, I'm closing this thread.
