I am finishing up my Easytouch 8 install.
I plan to control:
VS Pump
2 actuators: 3 way valves to control pool/spa/spillover
SWCG
Solar
water feature
2 pool lights
1 spa light
Fence lights
maybe heater eventually
I can not find any bonding wire for my pool that was installed in 1978.
The Easytouch panel is over 100 feet from the house and mounted to a fence that is separate from my house. The main panel is a few hundred feet from the Easytouch.
I drove a ground rod next to the equipment pad.
Do I need to use insulated ground wire to connect the ET8 to my ground rod or can I use bare copper?
I have a green wire in the conduit coming from the main panel to the ET8.
Do I cap that off or connect it to ground on the ET8 (resulting in a green ground wire from the main breaker to ET8 and a bare copper or insulated ground wire to the ground rod)?
I have two pool lights, one spa light, fence lights, and a GFCI convenience plug and a 20A double breaker.
Can I daisy chain all of the lights from the convenience plug so that they are all GFCI protected? Or should I buy different GFCI breakers for each light?
If I can daisy chain the lights, can I wire them all to individual relays (daisy chain from relay to relay) for automatic control?
I was going to wire the fence lights to a relay, the spa light to a relay, and am wondering whether I should wire each of my two pool lights to individual relays or together into one? Is there any benefit to wiring them separately?
