We're having a new pool installed (16x32 vinyl). Electrician just bonded and we're waiting for an inspection. We were talking a bit about what he will be installing to power the pump/heater (no SWG).
He's putting in a 60am panel with 1 mechanical timer for the pump heater. Do I even need that timer? He was going to put 2 timers in (one for a polaris), but I think we're just gonna go with a drop in Maytronics robot eventually.
I requested an upgrade to a Hayward VS 700 230v, the heater is a Aquacal heat pump SQ125.
I guess I'm wondering why I would want either of those on a timer in the electrical box.. The Pump has it's own timer/panel, and the heat pump just goes on/off at desired set temps, and only if there's enough flow right?
We're in MA, so it's a short season.
Looking for guidance, thanks in advance.
