Interesting way to get vacuum.

Your installation was very well done and gives new pool owners details that most pool stores fail to provide. But New York is not alone in it's over regulated requirements. Many States leave it up to homeowners insurance policies to set safety standards. My State is governed by local municipalities, and not the States heavy handed regulations. Just as there are States Rights we have local jurisdiction to enforce our own electrical and plumbing standards.

Can you explain to me why we only bond 4 posts and not all of them around the whole pool? Is the plug in receptacle with the insulated ground running back to the panel the only ground required? Thanks

great video

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to show the bonding process. I'm only learning about this requirement now and this has been the best explanation on how to do this that I've come across.

Will any type of polyester felt work for a filter?

I know this is an old post but how did the venturi pump work out?

Very well done. Thanks for sharing this information.

Thanks 👍

You bonded to a resin upright?

Excellent Video and pictures for dummies...lol. I should have no problems after seeing this. Thank you for the explanations and the easy to follow procedures.

This was by far the best and most informative video. No frills or terrible music. I am attempting to wire my pool and appreciate your time in creating this.

I think the hardest part of building the pool is trying to find a long enough garden hose to fill the swimming pool up with water.

Nice job all in all. But a gfi breaker is not $60. Probably $20 more than your dead front. That $20 would have been the best money you spent on that entire installation. Breaker is far superior protection and easier for monthly testing.

So im assuming your pump was hard wired? I have bought one of those intex pools and have a dedicated 20 amp gfi at the breaker circuit. I have ran UF wire to and outdoor outlet for the pool pump to plug into. Do I still have to run the copper around the pool as well?

Thank you for the informational video

great video and instructions on how to build it. thanks for sharing. that eastern phoebe at ~11:20 means spring is near!

How much? $$$$ did it cost?

Conduit needs to be piped directly to the panel

The idea about digging the copper in the ground doesn't make sense as a code as its not a ground but a bond - it shouldn't matter if you dig it in the ground or cover it with rocks

Awesome video thank you for the details!

Quick question, my pump says it 12 amps. Can i just use a 15amps breaker instead of 20 amps?

Do you have any more info, updates or videos on the vacuum filter. Getting ready to make one.

I have a dewalt 20 volt vacuum I might try out your system.

Good video, thanks for the tips.

On pressure tank - about what capacity? thank you

Mr Blanchard can you tell me where you got pressure tank and about how much?

Wow, thank you for posting. Very helpful. I think that I am going to build one of those rigs!

Thank you very much. I just had Virginia tell us the same thing. Showed this to the inspector and he said perfect. Thank you,

Nice job Barry. I have to add a pump switch and bond my water now!

Did I see 14 awg wire on a 20 amp breaker😲🤦

what if your pool is resin? do you still need to connect at four places? Right now its only connected to the seam. Thanks

Does NY state require that the wiring exit the house be at a point right beside the circuit breaker box, or is there an acceptable distance?

This video is the best one on KZfaq covering this topic. Thank you for taking the time and making a great to the point simple and thorough explanation!

Not breaking balls because I know the deal. Some of the code makes no sense like bonding a window frame if it’s within 5ft of the pool. A window frame has zero potential why would you introduce it into the electrical system. But that’s stuff for another day. NEC code says you can’t use sheet metal screws to attach the lugs. I know I know but it’s in art 250 As an electrical contractor Ive been pulling my hair out for 35 yrs trying to plz the NEC. Which adds new twists and turns every year. You seem like a good guy you can use a thread lock on those sheet metal screws to keep them tight and replace them every couple of years. Bonding the frame is important.

Pain in the butt yet well worth it to save lives. Having someone killed while using your pool would leave more than a pain in your butt.

thanks for the video

Very helpful. As Carlos stated, bonding to the pool wall bolts is correct. Other than that great info. Thanks

What do you do about other things that use electric such as bottom cleaners and saltwater chlorine generators, where do you plug them in 10 - 20 feet away?

What size wire is the single strand ran from timer to pump

So the pool store told me that when you have steel pool walls and resin pillars the only place you can bond the pool is at the seem where you connect the wall with bolts. He said to run the copper wire from the seem around the pool and back.. and to the motor. We don't have metal plates under our pillars so this is the only way....btw we live in Ny as well.

do you have to ground the wires to a grounding rod?

Nice video, on your pump did you just change the plug or the entire cord ?

What you shared was not enough just talking about what you did was not enough you had a video camera, the time to video and make clear wad when the actual work was being done not after eveything was done.

I plan to watch this later, but have doubts how good can a full on, electrical explanation of this kind, can be done in 8 minutes or less

they did not require an electrician to install the wires in order to get it inspected?

Good video, I understand the helpfulness it provides to the NY state residents. But here in Louisiana I have had my above ground pool for 5 years powered by a 50 ft. extension cord laying on the ground plugged into a 3 ft. extension off the pump. All going to a GFCI receptacle in my Garage. I have to literally unplug and roll up the extension cord every time I mow. Now for fairness, what I am doing with the extension cord is NOT the correct way to run exterior electrical. So I do plan to install a proper power feed to the pump which will be underground and sealed properly. I do not like the extension cord. But... Why would you have to bond a plastic pool to the ground cable going around the pool? That is dang nuts. I am an electrical engineer, and was taught by mt first grade teacher that plastic is an insulator, not a conductor. So that is like trying to ground the insulation of electrical cable itself. Freaking crazy. Which is why most of that non-sense you had to go through just to install an outdoor rated 120VAC pump in your backyard is a bunch of bull. Sure, I know it is the local code, but it is still bull. But even though, I do plan on correctly

Thanks for the video, a few questions, what size stranded wire did you use to run to the pump and convenience outlet ? What gauge or schedule pvc did you use? Thank you

Excellent video, thanks

This was great! Thanks for the details :)
