When I first arrived in the pool industry I knew nothing about electricity than the fact that it scared me. I had heard stories about people Zapped get to get in or out of a pool, but I did not think it could happen until I spent a day. My first reaction was that something was wrong with the pool you just compiled. I spent hours looking for nicked wires that went to the pump and filter equipment. Even went so far as to dig up the dirt that buried cable with plumbing that surrounded the swimming pool to make sure it is not broken. However, after days of searching found nothing and was forced to call our electrician. They went through the same series of events we did before they came only to reach the same conclusion. Nothing in the pool was causing the sense of shock, the current was on the floor.
Who could imagine that electricity is produced naturally in the ground. The first time the company built a pool with an electrical ground issue was when he built a wall polymer of vinyl liner swimming pool. This makes little sense to me because we have built an almost identical pool just three houses down on the same side of the street. The difference was in the other group was a wall structure steel and that the group practically land itself. Two weeks and almost two thousand dollars later the energy company to locate the problem back to a heater water in someone's house ten houses in the street. This poor man did not even want a swimming pool and the electric company had to tear her yard in search of the leak mysterious. A day later they were inside your house to reduce the problem and told him to fix the problem. If you have never seen the company to do their job trying to find a problem, then you'll know why we call it the circus! I've never seen some trucks with lights and many employees running with colored vests bright and hats only when I had my children to see the circus. However, problem solved!
Again the same question arose again, but this Once it was a fiberglass pool and all the power lines were on the ground. At present national codes had changed and they were much more sages. The 2005 book called national code for what was called the bonding grid spark. Do not worry, it took me about two months to find a way to pronounce it. Basically, the codebook ordered a wire mesh mat that is placed around the pool. For great looking guy with chicken wire which is about 3 feet wide and the wires are welded together to make 1 square foot by 1 foot. The kicker was that everyone said the network had to be solid copper and during the season 2008 from a roll of 100 feet of this material cost between $ 550 to $ 800 depending on the cost of copper. It was expensive, but it did work.
These days, some localities still using the 2005 code book and there have been changes to the code chip bonding grid in the book of 2008 by the national code. It can be confusing and subject interpretation but, basically, in my opinion is that are still asking the grid, but now they are allowing the network cable to be made of steel instead copper. Do not use chicken wire, however, code inspectors want to see the heavy gauge wire as you see in concrete reinforcement. In all cases, ensure that the group has at least a solid # 8 copper ground running from the house to your pool. Make sure this cable is firmly connected to its cable network in at least 3 places around pool, the more the better. Also remember that every time a new sheet set-wire network that needs to be securely fastened to the first. I prefer to see the copper screws divided solid despite make this connection that some inspectors will attach steel cables. My thought on that is that tie wires are thin and eventually through rust. If that happens, you might have a break in its network of ground and become a fold of his armor.
When all else fails, consult your local building inspector to advise along with that of an electrician who specializes in the wiring of the pools. Throw some valuable professional experience this article and then make a better educated decision. But please remember this, to be cheap in this department can make you, your family and guests problems later. Is it really better to be safe than sorry.
In the event that there is a professional pool builder hired to install your pool, take the time to discuss this issue. Note that he or she may have a difference in opinion on this issue, but firm position on the issue. If they object because of cost, kill telling the subjects that will cover if not incorporated in the budget has to offer. Money should not be a problem when it gets down to safety.
