I'm having an EasyTouch8 installed. It will control 5 low voltage pentair lights, an intelliflo pump, hayward pump, pentair heater, and IC40. Electrician is telling me that I don't need any GFCI breakers in the main breaker panel or in the easytouch panel. Sounds like BS to me. Can ya'll tell me code requirements for GFCI?
They also said that I did not need to run the extra ground wire (or maybe it's called a bond wire) through the conduit for each light because I went with low voltage lights. The may have a point on this because the led bubblers have a plastic housing/niche and no lugs for attaching to the steel grid or for attaching a ground. I made them pull the extra green wire for the spa and pool lights anyway, but I'm wondering if they are right on the low voltage claim. Any thoughts?
