Swimming Pool & Spa Equipment Descriptions
#1a Sub-Panel / Time Clocks
The SUB-PANEL acts as a power distribution hub that allows the prescribed electrical power load that is coming from your home’s electrical MAIN ELECTRICAL PANEL to be routed to the a series of additional individual Circuits Breakers that feed the individual equipment components that require power at the Equipment Pad.
The electrical demand or ELECTRICAL LOAD CALCULATIONS or AMPERE LOAD of each piece requires a separate breaker that is rated for the ampere load.
#1b Sub-Panel / Automation
In providing automation and programmable controls, upgrades to your existing pool’s Sub-Panel may involve the following options;

#2 Sanitizer
Maintaining your pool’s water chemistry can involve the simplicity of manually pouring in the products necessary or it can involve several options.
Sanitizers go by several different names. These can include the following;

- Option “C” ORP (Chlorine Injectors)
- Option “D” Salt Chlorine Generators
- Option “E” Ozone Generators (Corona Discharge)
- Option “F” UV Light Disinfection
#3 Filtration Systems
Two of the most commonly utilized pool filters in the pool industry are called, CARTRIDGE FILTERS and oddly enough, this filter together with the D.E. FILTERS are the most expensive to operate.
If your pool is currently using either of these types of filtration, an equipment change out to a SAND FILTER could save you approximately $455.00/ per year in electrical energy, by having a HIGHER FLOW RATE, it allows more water to filter in less time!

This savings together with the additional savings of having to purchase replacement cartridges or add Diatomaceous Earth (DE) ($400 to $600 / 18 months).
Another benefit is the ease in which a Sand Filter is cleaned. This is performed by simply turning off the filter pump, turning the BACKWASH VALVE handle to the “back-washing” mode and turning the pump back on for about two minutes. This procedure is done about every two to three months and discharges about one hundred and sixty gallows of water (80 GPM @ 2.0 Min = 160). This is approximately the same amount of water that an average swimming pool loses on a hot summer day due to evaporation (400-SF @ .50″ = .31 gal. x 500 = 155 gal.).
#4 Pool and Spa Heating
Depending upon the level of involvement regarding the overall swimming pool renovation there are several different heating possibilities. If Natural Gas or LPG are available on site, then a new energy efficient gas fired HEATER can become part of those considerations.
Other pool and spa water heating possibilities may include;
- IN-DECK SOLAR HEATING
- ROOF SOLAR HEATING
- GEOTHERMAL SOLAR HEATING
