[@bjleau76]

Great video, was extremely helpful especially the explanation of the jumper on a Hayward pool heater, Thank you

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

You're welcome!

What a great video now I know For 21 years I was a plumber

[@garycunningham8478]

Do you need a black connector for the wires going into the heater?

[@michaelleddy3701]

Ayeee a new joisey guy .

[@wallydesouza1]

I have a outlet from out pool heater. Pool straight out of the panel. 15 amp. Will it power this same unit ?

[@williameisenberg1999]

Hi Ron , Thanks for the video ? What kind of linesman pliers are you using can you give me the brand name . They look really nice to work with … Thanks Again Eisenberg Electric. Simsbury ,Ct.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Hello, these are Klein Hybrid pliers. They have built-in crimper and strippers. My favorite lineman’s pliers ever.

[@williameisenberg1999]

Thank you ,, Just ordered one !!

What would happen if u did not switch module from 240/120 or vice versa?

[@markgeyer1]

What AMP was the beaker (15/20)?

[@jimamentas7190]

Can you use regular 12/2 with ground to connect inside heater?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

if the units outside no.

[@jimamentas7190]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey could you explain why not? Just curious

[@Inmate533]

How does the heater know when the pump is running? Does the heater have a flow switch that only allows the heater to turn when the water is running through it? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Not a dumb question. I imagine through a set of contacts in the filter. Definitely wiring within the appliance.

[@SqueakyHinge]

The heater has a pressure switch on the inlet of the piping system which will close the control circuit if that pressure sensor senses pressure - from the pump running - so the heater will run.

[@markmenner6922]

Hi Ron, on outdoor outlets for a deck does NJ code require gfci outlets and gfci breakers or is a gfci breaker with wr outlets ok.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

A circuit breaker or outlet is acceptable because it's only required to be GFCI-protected. I will tell you the outlet will be cheaper than the circuit breaker. The outlet MUST BE 'WR' which means weather-resistant.

[@markmenner6922]

Thanks Ron

[@vince6829]

Thank you.

[@wallydesouza1]

Does that pool heater have to be hard wired ?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

No, you could attach a cord to it and plug it in I suppose.

[@wallydesouza1]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey like a dishwasher power cord I’m thinking. I’m just wondering if 15 amp dedicated is enough for this 400k btu gas pool heater

[@booSackk]

Do you have to pull permits for every single one of ur jobs Can you list some examples where you dont pull permit

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Repairs & maintenance and I do a lot of that. Permits for any new wiring but not for changing out light fixtures or changing GFCI’s.

[@booSackk]

@@electricianron_New_Jersey thanks for replying, i almost have my masters and am looking forward to start my journey in vancouver area, always curious about the permits and doing it right. One of the jobs u had, installing light fixtures in garage with piping and motion sensor, did you need permit for that? Or shed wiring Thanks!

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

@@booSackk Best to check with building department. It’s Canada so I’m sure it’s not the same as here.

[@SqueakyHinge]

Why don't you have a bond on the heater? Is it because the heater is far away from the pool/pumps?

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

It is bonded!

[@kidR0BOT]

Pssstttt next time wire it on the load side of the time clock that controls the filter pump. No extra breaker needed and the heat won’t run unless water is flowing.

[@daviddillard8206]

Where was your sensor wire? All Hayward heaters have one.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Sensor for what?

[@SqueakyHinge]

The pool water sensor as well as the pump pressure sensor and the control thermostat are all located inside of the heater. There can be options of a remote sensor control.

[@moo-r8199]

I dont fish the wire i just push in it with soap it faster

[@mackfisher4487]

Why is it that some trades running their class-II wiring with no concept of dressing wires in a workmanship manner. I'm always surprised when I see HVAC equipment wired neatly some folks seem to like spaghetti.

[@electricianron_New_Jersey]

Some just don’t care about themselves so naturally they don’t care about their work.
