Pool Pros Gett'n Wired, part ll

Episode Summary

Dan: Welcome back, pool pros, to another exciting installment of Talking Pools! I'm your host, Dan Lenz, and today we're picking up where we left off in our exploration of the National Electric Code and its implications for pool safety. This is part two of our series, and we're diving even deeper into NEC compliance around pools.

Dan: In our previous episode, we covered some of the fundamental aspects of the NEC as it relates to pool installations. Today, we'll be delving into some specific requirements and best practices to ensure your pool is not only a source of enjoyment but also a safe environment for everyone.

Dan: Let's start by revisiting the topic of bonding and grounding, which are paramount for electrical safety around pools. According to the NEC, all metallic components within a certain zone around the pool must be bonded together and connected to a grounding system to prevent the buildup of stray electrical currents.

Dan: Additionally, proper equipment grounding is essential for maintaining a safe electrical environment. This includes ensuring that all electrical devices and fixtures installed near the pool are properly grounded to minimize the risk of electric shock.
