As a Master Plumber, I have found very few Electricians with such excellent work standards and attention to detail. You have given me hope that there are still good guys out there. Enjoyed watching. -Lance The Plumber.

Started my own Electrical contractor last year in Wisconsin. Love you video's! Owner operators take so much pride in our work. Our name is everything. Thanks for the great content. Good to see someone actually doing code compliant install.

Hi, please note: The 5" (60") clearance rule for the trench to be away from the pool has been removed from the National Electric Code.

Its been a while since ive been in the resi electrical field, fell into industrial maintenance afterwards. My family needs some pool work done an came here to refresh my mind lol but seeing seeing this vid reminded me of the 1st real Electrician I learned from as an apprentice and you sound just like him in everyway. Love the details an work u do 💪🏼

Installed with pride PLUS a weather report. Love it! That Brother label maker is great. I have one just like it.

You Sir, Do Excellent, Quality Work !!! Loved the attention to detail.

Hey Brother Thank you So much for the help the other day. Jason US Navy Veteran retired

Awesome video! Love your attention to detail and work ethic! Thanks!

Really enjoyed your comprehensive video! 😊

Nice job Ron! Great work and thanks for the videos. It’s good to see neat work out there. All the best

Good job Ron.

Next time you go to do something like this. Instead of using concrete to mount your posts they sell fence post foam kits. It's a two-part expandable foam that sets up in a matter of minutes. Don't have to wait for concrete to dry or mixed concrete

Always great work.

Great content. Lots of good info. I’m going to be doing a wiring project for a pool installation in the near future. Thanks from Chicago

When I get a pool, you will be the 1st person I'll reach out to!

Wow the days of just plugging into an existing outdoor receptacle for the pool pump is long gone .

Great Video! thanks

Great video keep up the great work.

Amazing

excelente explicación gracias por compartir

I am new to your channel and watching from the U.K. great video Sir . When you was digging the trench to put your conduit in surely you could have used precast concrete cable cover tiles that would have given you protection against anyone going through the conduits as a electrician in the U.K. that is what I use and it’s good another for all the inspectors i come across . Great work you do 👍🏼

Nice job Ron, I've never seen anyone put those expansion couplings on the side of the house. It makes sense though because I see PVC all bent on buildings from the sun. Nice to see someone labeling the circuits for the next person. The only thing I did notice is the feeder wires inside the 3/4" conduit. I thought anything over 4 current carrying conductors needed to be derated so the wires should have been #10 in my own opinion. 310.15(B)(3)(a) It works- keep up the good work!!

Was taught to always use cleaner on PVC and on the grounding of pool metal trough we always scraped off paint on at least or one side to make a better connection. Smart placing labels on top of 3 outdoor boxes because you know the supposedly heavy or forget if the NEC says extra heavy duty covers are required but we know they will never last the what 15 or so years of the pool.

Yo! You Killed This Install Really Good Stuff GOOD JOB!!!

Excellent video, very helpful! If the pool is built near the house, could you have these mounted to the exterior house wall?

Cool subject, Ron. I enjoy the variety of jobs and topics you cover. That skimmer electrode seems like a failure point to me though. Eventually the pvc or whatever plastic the skimmer is made of will crack around the mounting screw, but I guess it will outlast the life of the pool. Also, when sinking those posts into the concrete base you might consider driving a short piece or two of rebar through the base for a more secure attachment. I’ve seen posts shrink from weathering and pull right out or become loose over time. Two pieces or more of rebar push-fitted into the post at 90-degrees would prevent that. But again, the pool probably would fail before the posts ever did.

Love this informative video.. thanks for sharing. Question thou, is the bonding wire still needed to go around the pool if the pool is a all plastic & nylon material? 🤔

Hey man I came across your video here and let me tell you how good and professional you did this work 👏 👌 I'm an electrician here in Massachusetts and this is a great video

Great video I was wondering about the timer box. Which wires did you use to power that?

Hey Ron nice clean work! Just wanted to ask about the ground wire you ran. I think I heard you said you ran 1 Green THHN wire through the conduit that you attached at the pull box on the side of the house to all the other bare ground wires? Then when the Green THHN wire got to your metal box out by the pool you joined that 1 wire to 4 different insulated ground wires that ran to each box and the timer?

How long did this take and what do you charge for a job like this? Nice video, thanks

Yes sir. I actually had a customer, just the other day actually, tell me not to worry about bonding around the pool because he wasn’t going to pay for that to be done because he said the materials cost was to high. I told him it’s a code requirement. He said to hell with the code. He also didn’t want a time clock installed either. He said he would just turn it off and on manually. He said all this after I had ran power to the pump location. It’s just a 120 volt pump and a led pool light. I did bond the pump to the equipment grounding conductor but I could not get him to pay for the materials to bond around the pool….So I just did it anyway. The only thing I didn’t do was install a time clock.

That expansion pipe is required on the house with pipe going horizontal right? Only When coming out of house and then into ground they require it.

👍

Where does the the run start for the bonding? At the first post? Ending at pump?

Does the time box has to be plastic to be outside?

Thank you very helpful. Bug guy fills an oversized shirt better. Better than the plumbers crack

Good job, i need a skilled electrician now!!! I am completing a pool the old one was junked alot of questions with the electrical, nobody ever paid attention to, i am concerned that my father in law didn't have any grounding to the pool pump, of any kind of bonding, unless someone took it, the pump is missing amd no copper wire anywhere.

Good afternoon. How long did this job take you ?

How much does this job go for materials and labor around your neck of the woods.

Thank you for the videos. I'm hoping you can answer a question. I will be installing my above ground pool soon. currently there is power in my shed fed by 2 -20 amp breakers using 13/3. I'm wondering if I can wire my pool using the existing 13/3 in the shed since it is much closer to the pool . My motor is 10 amps and I have no heater.

Hi Ron, great video. I am confused about 680.12. Do we actually need to have a dedicated disconnecting switch for the above ground pool pump circuit? I feel we don't and I didn't see you do it either. What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Love your explanation, very informative. Are you in ATL?

Hey Ron, that trench should be 18” deep to the top of the conduit, the 12” with gfci protection is only for 120 volt circuits.

Great video. Very detailed. I got a question. I have a main 200amp panel outside of my house. I have a : In ground Swimming pool ( Black & Decker 2HP Variable Speed Pool Pump) 110 volt clothing washer & 220 volt dryer. I want to install a Square D Panel/ Sub panel I just need help in finding the right way to installing these items without messing up. also what is the best way to route my wires using which piping. EMT conduit pipe or PVC conduit pipe or Liquid tight All these will piping will be going from outdoor to indoor since my main panel is outdoor in my backyard. What breakers is needed for all these items listed above and do I need to get a gfci breaker for my pool pump. Do I need another panel to run the pool pump and later on add a pool heater. Items I already have in my possession is: Washer Dryer Pool pump 2awg Cooper wire (4 wire) Red, White, Black & Green Any help will help I greatly appreciate it to the fullest. I want to start this project this coming Thursday since I will have a few days off. Thank you hope to hear from you really soon. Stay safe and blessed.

I want to build an in ground spa next to my house, I have a large accessible crawlspace, can I put the mechanical equipment in that crawlspace? It would be on a slab inside a drywalled closet. I live in area that gets heavy snow loads and very cold.

Hi great video, my question is I have a aluminum wall pool and the rest is resin. Do I need to go right around pool? Also do I just bond to the wall joint bolts then skimmer, pump, heater, salt generator and finally to a grounding rod?

Hey ron great video, quick question. At the four points where you bonded, did you use self tapping screws into the framing? Or did you drill and tap and use a machine screw

It’s a great video and it was a ton of information in here. But where did you bond the pools bonding system? Was it run through the 20 amp ground wire back to the main electrical panel?

Nice video bud. How far was the panel from your j-box you mounted on the house? Couldn’t you run some flex or pipe inside and avoid splices. Just a thought. Do you use silicone wire nuts outside for moisture and corrosion? I always drill a 1/8” pilot hole in the bottom of bell boxes and outside j boxes never will have a problem with water getting out, if it finds a way in.

Great and informative video. Is the process the same for an in-ground pool?

I believe that 12" depth rule for residential work doesn't include 240 volt circuits?

Question for you, do you worry about water getting into the trough through the conduit penetrations?

Hey electricalron, excellent video! On our installation the pool only has a steel wall. The top cap, bottom rail and vertical supports are all resin. Where the wall comes around to meet itself, it is joined with a row of nuts and bolts in a vertical pattern. I have been told that a lug attached to one of those bolts would be sufficient for bonding rather than 4 points around the pool. Do you concur? Everything else would be the same as your project with 8 awg copper wire going to the plate in the skimmer and to the lug on the pump motor as well as around the pool in the ground. Hoping to pass inspection! Your opinion would be much appreciated . Thanks brother, Terrence

Hey Ron.. great content. I'm in North Jersey. Where is that 5ft from the pool trench code?

What kind of bolts and nuts do you use? And do you put them on before they put legs up for Pool?

Hasn’t the bonding system be removed from the nec as well? From what I read it says anything with a vinyl liner does not require a bonding grid.

How do you get the 5 bond points if the entire pool is resin including the the support posts?

Was wondering about a grounding solid copper bar? My dad when installed electrical for out pool pump when I was a kid installed a separate copper rod that was buried 6' in the ground. Is this overkill or is GFCIs good enough? Great video by the way

😁

I kept expecting the drill to fall into the pool

Thought you only needed expansion pipe on the house side

How often should the time clock turn on the pump?

Drilling the top of your gutter might let water in. I was always told that it'll defeat the purpose of the water resistants of the gutter. What are your thoughts on that?

Great video...about to go give an estimate tomorrow on a job very similiar to this. Could you say how much the bid was???? If not i get it. Thanks

I thought the equipotential bond had to be one continuous run with no splices?

You put a screw in or nut and bolt

Can you come up to hunterdon/Flemington and do this for me, my electrician won’t return my text messages now

Yeah and I always get a kick out of the look on the customers face when you tell them how much it costs to install power to their pool …

How much does something like this cost?

pipe has to be schedule 80 coming out of the ground sir.

I bet you paid about 120.00 for that 2-pole GFCI Breaker...nice job
