Ok so I put in an inground swimming pool... I have basic electrical knowledge ... So I took on the project of wiring my pool... I followed the nec exact... Here's what I did.... My pool is inground vinyl liner type... Steel walls... I ran #8 bare wire all the way around the pool about 10 inches from the wall... Connecting to the metal ladder, light niche, steel walls in many places as well as the rebar in the cement in many places... Buried that wire in the trench and connected it to the bonding lug on the pump... From the light niche I ran another insulated #8 wire connected to a grounding lug in the niche through conduit to a deck box which then connected it to the ground coming from my panel... Changed the breaker that controls the light to a GFCI breaker.... The pump is 120 coming from my attic in conduit down the wall... The breaker was also changed to a 20amp GFCI....
I also have an outlet outdoors about 15 ft from the pool that is GFCI...
Did I miss anything? Am I safe? As far as I know I followed the NEC completely...
I just don't want a potential for any shocks!!
Please... Don't go easy on me... I want the truth especially if I need to change something!
Thanks!!
