AG Pool wiring and other headaches

[CarlD]

I think I'd find a reliable electrician, especially to bond the pool--remember that bonding cable needs to be green and single core, not stranded cable.

I use 2x2 pavers under my pump and filter. Works just fine.

Otherwise, check your town codes on pool wiring. They are weirder than you think.

Hey, Raddish,

It sounds like you've got a pretty good grip on electrical. "JohnT" posts here frequently and knows pool wiring and bonding extensively. You might consider sending him an email or PM if he doesn't chime in.

I'm pretty sure that bonding wire needs to be bare..........not green insulated.

There's a couple of other posters who "get it" on this complex bonding issue........you guessed it...I'm NOT one of them . I'm sure you'll connect with someone who can look over your shoulder a little.

Kudos on being willing to tear out someone else's crap. That's mentally tough to do but you know it's the right thing. Sounds like you'll have a nice setup.

You'll get lot's of help with your liner install and your pool chemistry on the forum when you get ready for it.

Thanks for the replies.

There is NO CHANCE that I will hire an electrician. As an electrical engineer I know that I am fully capable of tackling this project on my own. I just want to make sure I do it right.

This is how I intend to wire the pump circuit.
