I installed one of these at the pool panel. I think I will get one for the garage as well. The disconnect is about 2 ft from the pump.

I should have clarified. The house and garage are on separate meters, separate service. Thanks. The house has a surge device on it's panel, the garage does not. The garage is roughly 100-125 ft from the pool panel. The pool is wired through the garage service. Since it is such a long run I...

Thanks for the information. I do not have one on the garage panel at this time so just installing it at the pool breaker box would be fine?. I do have one on the main panel at the house but not the garage feeding the pool.

I just bought this unit. Where would be the best place to install it?. I have a sub panel next to the pool equipment, should I install it there or the panel in the garage about 100 ft away from the pool.

Got it. I didn't have to splice anything but it was close. I will make sure of the above conditions for the ground wire and even though the leak is fixed on this end of the light conduit I will pull the pool light and stop the leak in the light bucket. I just don't like water in the pvc with...

Success!. The bread procedure worked like a charm. Everything is covered over. From this

Thanks for the information, especially the glue eating the wire. I bought a can of the blue glue and purple primer. Says I don't need to use primer, what say you.

I'm going to stuff the pvc line with bread tomorrow morning and glue it with the blue glue and see what happens. If not I will get one of these" LIGHT CORD STOPPER: For the most permanent solution to a pool light conduit leak, seal up the hole in the light niche with a Light Cord Stopper. Made...

Well I have to try to seal of the conduit with something long enough to glue on my elbows to move it. Any good ideas on what to put in there?. Plumbers putty? Shouldn't cause a problem I would think.

That is interesting but it seems proper gasketing at the underwater light would prevent this from happening. Just seems improper to me.

Well I successfully cut the pvc without nicking the wires with a 2in tubing cutter. The minute I cut the pvc to the pool light water is streaming out of the conduit.And still a slow trickle coming out. I bet that is not good being electric wires in there and all. Leaking through the pool...

Yes sir, all splicing will be done above ground in proper boxes. They had it wired breaker panel to gfci outlet to on/off switch to light junction box to light.So the gfci protection was acquired from the gfci outlet as it was downstream. There were no gfci breakers anywhere feeding the pump.The...

You pretty much nailed it. I removed the subpanel . "The conduit from the junction box to the missing sub panel is also missing". I have only one light and the other side junction box to subpanel conduit is blocked from view with the 1in pvc on the board.I ordered one of these with the wall...

Yep I am. I want to move the outdoor panel to the wall about 2 ft back and get all that out of the walk/ work area. The pool light junction can be moved to the right 2 feet and kept at the same distance, almost, from the pool and same height off the ground which is where they get picky I...

I need to move these to the back wall of the shed. How would you go about it?. Also, does the power from the home go into the thermodyne(black cap) first then down and back up out those two pvc lines?.The shorter pvc line goes down to the pool light and the taller is the 220 for the pump which...
