A swimming pool is a man-made
container filled with water intended for
swimming or other water-
based recreation.

SWIMMING POOL
at It can be above ground or in ground and made
of wood, plaster and bricks, metal, concrete,
plastic, lining and fiberglass.

ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND
SPAS
Equi-potential
Grounding
All non-current carrying metallic parts of the
swimming pool system or spa, i.e. stainless steel hand
rails, metallic chairs or furniture, lighting poles/
lighting fixtures, metal casings or motors or pumps,
electrical metallic boxes/ enclosures, etc, must be
adequately grounded to the earth grid.

The minimum ground resistance readings should

be one (1) ohm or less as measured using a
digital low resistance ohmmeter (DLRO) tester.
GROUND RESISTANCE - Digital Low
Resistance Ohmmeter (DLRO)

The minimum
ground
resistance
readings should

be
ohm or less
as measured
using a

(DLRO) tester.

SPAS

Underground
Wiring
Underground wiring is not allowed under a pool or spa. Underground
wiring may be run no less than 1.5 meters or 5 feet from any side
wall of a pool or spa. There are some exceptions when the wiring
attaches to the pool or spa to serve equipment or lighting. When
there is insufficient space in the area to maintain a 1.5-meter or 5-
foot separation, wiring may be closer than 1.5-meter or 5 feet if it is
installed in a complete raceway (conduit) system. Rigid metal
raceway (RMC or IMC) must have at least 150mm or 6 inches
cover.
Non-metallic raceway must have at least 150mm or 6 inches of
cover, including at least 100mm or 4 inches of concrete; 500mm or
18 inches minimum cover is allowed if the non-metallic conduit is
listed for direct burial without concrete encasement.
ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND
SPAS
Electrical Outlet
Receptacles
Receptacles for pumps and motors must be
located between 1.8 and 3 meters or between
6 and 10 feet from the pool walls, and they
must be GFCI-protected (or ELCB) and locked.
Outlet receptacles for general use can be
no closer than within 6 meters or 20 ft. of a
pool or in-ground spa if they are not GFCI-
protected; and no closer than 1.8 meters or 6
feet away if they are GFCI protected
On in-ground pools, there MUST be at least
one GFCI protected convenience outlet
located between 1.8 and 6 meters or between
6 feet and 20 feet from the edge of the pool.
ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND
SPAS

GFCI
Protection
Most devices and equipment serving pools or spas and the
surrounding areas must be protected by ground-fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI or ELCB) devices. This includes but is not limited
to:
Outlet receptacles within 6 meters or 20 feet of a pool or
spa Underwater pool lights greater than 15 volts
Motors and controls for pool covers
Outlet receptacles for pool pump motors at all distances from
the pool
Light fixtures less than 3 meters or 10 feet from a pool or spa
edge, unless the fixture is more than 1.5 meters or 5 feet above
the water level.
GFCI
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)
RCCB ELCB
• Protects you from shock
• Detects difference in current between
the black and white wires
• If ground fault detected, GFCI shuts off
electricity in 1/40th of a second
• Use GFCI’s on all 120-volt, single-phase,
15- and 20-ampere receptacles, or have
an assured equipment grounding
conductor program.

lower voltage)
for Underwater

very highly
recommended

Maintenance
Disconnect
A maintenance disconnect is required for shutting off
power to pool or spa pumps, filters, and other
utilization equipment. The disconnect must be
installed within sight of the pool or spa but can be no
closer than 1.5 meters or 5 feet from the pool or spa
so that you cannot be leaning out of the water to turn
power on or off.
Public spas must have an emergency disconnect that
is visible and at least 1. 5 meters or 5 feet from the
spa, but this rule does not apply to single-family
dwellings.
 ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND
SPAS

Special Regulations for Self-Contained Spas and Hot

Tubs
Outlet receptacles can be no closer than 1.8 meters or 6 feet
from a hot tub or spa and must be GFCI protected if they are less
than 3 meters or 10 feet away
Lights or ceiling fans must be at least 3.6 meters or 12 feet
above the spa or hot tub if there is no GFCI protection, or at least
2.25 meters or 7.5 feet if there is GFCI protection
Any wall switches must be at least 1. 5 meters or 5 feet from
the water
Any outlet or direct-wired circuit that powers the motor or
heater in a self-contained spa or hot tub must be GFCI
protected, no matter how far away from the spa or tub.
ELECTRICAL CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR SWIMMING POOLS AND
SPAS
Overhead Electrical Lines
Utility power lines that run over a pool or spa must be at
least 6.85 meters or 22.5 feet above the water level or
base of a diving platform. Communications cable must
be at least 3 meters or10 feet above the water level or
diving platform. The water level is defined as the highest
point water can reach before it spills out of the pool or
spa. It is always preferable to install a pool or spa well
away from any electrical lines, or vice versa. The water
is one thing to worry about; another is the use of pool
cleaning nets with very long, metal handles that you lift
high into the air.
