Seeing videos like this make me feel like a master electrician and an over protective father😆🤣 Thanks guys!

[@davidparraluna]

Excellent video; very helpful! Thank you!

[@MrGtolivo]

My concerns here is the safety hazzard due the installation performed. A quite a few NEC articles violations: 680.6, 680.22 (bonding, clearance, receptacle location, GFCI protection, etc.....) To many NEC violation. ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZZARD.

👏👏👏. Not my Daddy…. Although safety is always important, it’s almost always situational based…. We’ll take your advise into consideration……. NOW BACKOFF!!!!!

@@HillCountryHomestead Why would you NOT put GFCI plugs there? Not having a GFCI is my biggest concern.

[@NurseBobsSleepChannel]

I would not let these clowns near a battery powered flashlight let alone my pool pump. Maybe the outlet should be just a bit closer to the pool, I mean its not touching the wall yet.

[@jameskozlowski4139]

gfci Outlets need to be 6 feet away from the pool

[@Eric-ot1fn]

Outlets by water needs to be a GFCI

[@briankehew579]

Always!

[@jameskozlowski4139]

Its easy to find what code is in your area guys

[@gardnert508]

That outlet is to close!!!! TO the pool

[@bretts1]

Need a GFI. Lmao don’t ask me how I know. I wish I could find a link for you for the hoses I used years ago.

[@peterpetrov9595]

The fitting on the filter is the same size as the pump. Just buy the fitting and glue it to the flex hose.Threads are the same 2''

[@johnbrass8910]

where is your GFI?

[@timmylove5510]

crazy, gotta be some code violation with that electric panel exactly next to splashing water pool even with that electric box which is actually water resistant not water proof. careful not to electrify the area. good luck.

A 2HP pump is an overkill. A 3/4 HP is more than enough.
