We are in the process of bidding a residential pool house. This is the first time doing a job like this. I was wondering if there is anything I need to know that maybe you guys have ever ran into. Service location, outlet locations, etc. The pool company is taking care of the wiring of the pool and we are doing the rest. Thanks for any input.

Re: PoolHouse?
This pool house could be anything from a changing room to an actual house. Tough to answer such a general question.

Re: PoolHouse?
Then what makes this pool house any differant than a normal house with a pool ? To me a pool house is a changing room with bathroom,and perhaps a snack area with frig full of miller lite,wet bar for those that drink high test and a microwave.

Re: PoolHouse?
A word of caution:
Lock out the circuits you are working on!
I wired a 20 X 40 sun room over a 14 X 30 pool, and had the pool company's "electrician" mistake "sunroom lights/outlets" labeled breaker for "pool lights", and discovered the problem by accident. The pool instalation supervisor asked me if I was OK, and I said "Yes, but your electrician won't be if you don't get him out of here!
