I honestly did not know about the ice thickness. Never was much a concern until last year that I overkilled a bit and then a dry n hot streak in the spring and found crazing on my 2 yr old plaster. I dropped the water level about 3 inches below the tile line in anticipation of another round of...

The only concern i have for keeping water level below tile line a lot is the plaster crazing. Not sure if the crazing i had last season had direct correlation with the fact that my concrete was exposed and dry for a couple od weeks later in the spring last year (temperature was higher than now).

I read a few threads and saw different answers, also different pool company gave different numbers too, so want to get some more info here. In Northern VA, so we do get freezing winters here. Company which closed for us indicated 1 inch below skimmer on their invoice (definitely feel they...

And if I go with the hassle of pulling a neutral wire back to the pool panel, is it better to add a neutral bar in the panel for future use? The pool panel box is Eaton BR, so guess this should work Eaton BR and CH 14 Terminal Plug-On Neutral Ground Bar GBKP14CS - The Home Depot

That makes a lot of sense. I recall seeing a thread here where the poster did double GFCI, main panel has one and then at the equipment each has one separate GFCI. Thanks for the insight.

For now, I could not think of any application of 120v from that pool subpanel. My priority of upgrade of current setup would be SWG, VSP, heater in that order, and then maybe landscape lights but that's not really something I care for. You also mentioned that you would not recommend using...

Is it easier to put a 30A GFCI breaker for the pool subpanel feeder line at the main panel side? I feel fishing a separate wire with unknown route (mostly buried in wall, ceiling etc) is more complicated?

That black one goes back to the house side, but there are a few gray ones goes generally towards the back where the garage is. BTW thanks for the info on the knock out seal. Don't even know what it is called, was searching "panel cover".

It feeds to the house basement mostly, and hvac systems

And, I cannot say for sure there are so many wires coming out of the main panel then into the wall, there is one conduit up top (attached pix) that goes up into the wall towards general direction of pool/backyard. The wall where feeder wires comes out is garage cinderblock wall. Another...

To your last comment, I actually have a subpanel next to the main panel, as a matter of fact, in that main panel there ware quite a bit empty/spare breakers that did not connect to anything. So I would need a 30A GFCI if putting it at the main panel side, right?

From the pool panel, I see three feeder wires coming in, white, blue and dark green. Is the dark green ground or neutral? From the 30A breakers at main panel, I see two wires one red one white. The only option for GFCI to work is to fish a separate natural wire from the pool panel back to the...
