Hi,
Me again =] anyone ever taken a supply to a swimming pool, with a swimming pool cover.
WE have been given NO information on the swimming pool but in a meeting with builder today, he said we need to supply power to the swimming pool and swimming pool company will sort out motors...
Right.. i gotta text from a mate at the weekend saying they've tried starting their pool pump up but it won't run, he said it was buzzing but not running. I went to take a look today and it turns out it's the contactor that's buzzing but the motor does nothing at all. All i had on me was a volt...

A customer has has some new submerged pool lights partially installed by pool man who has now disappeared.
Customer wants me to get them working.
SY flex has been run to Certiken JB for connection to pool lights. Its only 2.5mm but its only 5m so hopefully volt drop wont be a problem.
There...
Have to put right a badly installed swimming pool light installation.
The outdoor swimming pool has mains voltage ground lights surrounding it, about 40 cm from the pool edge.
I want to replace these fittings with ELV ground lights. Replacing the cable will mean a lot of disruption, so I was...
I have used an isolator switch to enable 3 seperate live feeds for a swimming pool pump to be cut to allow a pool cleaner to be easily removed from the pool - the pump has to be off to do this & its easier having one switch rather than 3.
Trouble is whoever turns the pool off needs to remember...
Hi
So I've been asked to do a periodic on a 5 bed house which is no problem but it has a pool which I haven't ever done before, now the guy that owns the house is going to be renting it out and he says that the tenants will NOT be allowed to use the pool at all.
Can I agree a limitation with...
I'm shopping for a pool heat pump. It seems reviews suggest that single phase pumps should not be rated above 10KW output for fear of shorting out[yet they sell them up to 31KW models?]. 3 phase models seem safer, yet their installation is more expensive since you need a 1 to 3 phase converter...

Hi All,
Got a call today about a DB tripping over the week-end.
Narrowed it down to the switches and contactor for their outdoor pool. Now here's the issue.
The contactor (Old MEM 3P adjustable 4-8A) switches both the pool pump and the oil fired boiler (on the same contacts) via an old style...

My neighbour had a 9Kw inline (in-pipe) water heater fitted - cables look well installed, with trip protection as requested by the heater installers.
On connection it pulled the house trip.
They suggested (rightly or wrongly) to install a separate supply before the house distribution panel -...

My local swimming pool was built in 1990 with underwater pool lights which they regularlyturn on and off. While swimming last night I noticed one of the light fixture casings had come away from the wall and water had filled the cavity. Silly question but what are the chances of everyone in the...

Gents. Doing a swimming pool plant Monday. Going to be doing a bit of fault finding to find out why it's not working.
If anyone's had any experience here before I'd appreciate it, anyone familiar with the types of pumps and motors involved.
Thanks.
Hi all,
Got a job to do on a swimming pool, looking at the regs, i would say that all lights in zone 1 have to 25v ac or under (12v). do you guys agree?
and the 230v connection has to be outside zonew 0,1 and 2.
If so, does anyone know where i can get 12v wall lights that take separate...
I've been doing a PIR today and to my horror and surprise I discovered that the only device, between the 60 Amp main distributors fuse and the pool pump was a 30A 10mA RCD (if you ignore the henley block, the 16mm tails! and the SWA)
Looks like some remedial work is coming up!

Guessing - i'm thinking that they might be on a long flex behind them so that when you can...
