Underground Wiring
Underground Wiring - You cannot have wiring under a pool or spa and it cannot be closer than 5 feet from the sidewalls. The only exception to sidewall wiring is if there is insufficient space to maintain a 5-foot separation.
Pool Wiring
After having your pool or hot tub installed, electrical wiring will need to be installed to provide power to your pool pump, heat pump, timers, automatic covers, chlorinators and any lights inside or around the pool. All in-ground pools, above-ground pools and spas require ground fault circuit interrupter protection by code. If your pool does not have GFCI installed, it’s a huge safety risk. GFCI will detect leakage so you don’t get electrocuted.
