Hot Tub Wiring - What's Actually Required
A hot tub install is more than just running wire. NEC Article 680 requires: a dedicated 240V circuit (almost always 50A or 60A), a GFCI-protected disconnect within sight of the tub but at least 5 feet away, proper equipotential bonding around the tub pad, and an inspection.
Skipping any of these isn't just a code issue - GFCI protection is the difference between a tripped breaker and an electrocution.
Pool Equipment Wiring
Pool work means dedicated circuits for the pump (often variable-speed now), heater, salt cell, automation panel, and underwater lights. Each has its own bonding and grounding requirements. We coordinate the equipment-pad layout with your pool builder so everything lands clean.
For in-ground pool lights, low-voltage transformers must be installed at the proper distance from the water and the LV runs bonded back to the equipotential grid.
