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...
Hello, Ive been doing some work for a neighbour who has just moved into a house with a swimming pool, i couldnt help but have a look at the wiring for the pool ect, the pool is heated by a gas boiler and has a electric pump, this was fitted last year and has been signed off.

was called to a job today where one of the pumps for a pool was not working.There was another pump operating the skimmer and cleaning equipment so i take it this one was working in conjunction with the gas boiler to heat the pool.Firstly the old elcb was not tripping when the test button was...
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...
Hi All,
I am trying to hook up different component to form a swim current generator like the Endless Pool, but my setup will be using a 36V DC motor. For this, I would like to ask if the setup has any safety concern and how can I enhance the safety feature?
General Setup:
Main Power...
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!
Given...
Hi, on holiday and relative's outside pool has a couple of 12 volt (via transformer) underwater lights mounted on the side of the pool. One of the bulbs has blown. Anyone any experience of replacing them.
Guessing - i'm thinking that they might be on a long flex behind them so that when you can...

Hello, I am going abroad to stay at a friends house. He would like a 24 hour timer incorporating into the wiring to control the swimming pool pump. At the moment the mains electricity is fed from a circuit breaker in the house to a secondary fused unit housed next to the pump. Unfortunately...
Does anyone know of anything special I need to do to regarding wiring an outdoor swimming pool pumps etc? Obviously all got to be properly rated things, but are there any other regs that differ from, say a bathroom and outdoors work?
OK chaps I have a great one for all you thinkers out there..........
My friends company are renovating a house. Wiring in the house is all catered for so this question is just about the pool area power.
To be honest its a bloody mess (in my humble, yet not terribly experienced point of...
