    Can 12v ac be used through a light switch within 1 meter of a swimming pool.

    I need 6 switching light circuits to control 12V LED light in Zone 1 of a pool, the problem is that Zone 1 is as you open the door to the building. I been thinking about using a 230v to 12v transformer in the plant room to a grid switch near the pool. This could switch 12v to a 230v contactor...

    Hello All, My parents own a pool with an automatic pool cover. However, in order to open and close the cover, you have to manually bend over and push the switch either up or down and hold it for the entire duration which can be a nuisance. I haven't opened it up yet, but I have attached an...

    Pool Breaker Tripping

    Hello, I been having an issue with my breaker to my pool pump tripping. It's an odd scenario that two electricians are unable to provide a resolution. My pool pump is on one breaker and I can run the pump for 24/7 with no issues. My heat pump is on another breaker and when I put my heat pump...

    Pool of water in dishwasher

    We had a new dishwasher delivered and installed by ao.com a few months ago. In the days after running a cycle, a pool of water builds up at the bottom of the D/W.

    Replacing pool pump: wiring from breaker box through timer to pump acting strange.

    New member, DIY homeowner here. I bought a new in-ground 1HP 120v Harris pool pump (online) and had it installed by my pool maintenance company. A few weeks later it appears blown -- it hums when the power goes on -- but I removed the back and the shaft turns easily so I suspect wiring issues...
