The Pool Hunt Has Begun...

[Rhonda_M]

New question: We have been quoted a price on a pool we like and are starting to look at electricians. Any idea on a price tag for the electrician bill in Middle Tennessee? Pool will be about 40 feet from house.

No one can say. It depends on the work done and what he runs and where. If lines have to be buried, it will require digging or a ditch-witch. When I did mine, I could run the conduit under the deck, but still it had to be routed back to a 220v GFCI breaker in the box, plus the timer. And, of course, banding the pool, pump, and ladders.

Try to find a licensed electrician with pool experience. When you talk to them before you hire, ask what they'll do, let them tell you about bonding and fault protection.
