What exactly is lightning protection for a VS pump? Is this somehting that I can purchase and install? or needs a professional? The replacement VS pump was installed professionally (Leslie's Pools) into an existing exterior circuit breaker outside of the house. This is also where the Polaris Pump is connected in the same circuit box. In the same proximity of where I have two separate AC condensor units that have their own exterior circuit breaker.
Lightinng protection was not mentioned last December during the pump replacement or when I replaced the Hayward single speed pump 6 years ago.
