Orlando Pool Electrical Safety: What Homeowners Should Know
Published 2025-02-15
Pool light and pump circuits should be GFCI-protected. Test GFCI outlets periodically per manufacturer directions, especially after Orlando thunderstorms.
Bonding — a bare copper wire connecting metal pool parts — helps prevent voltage differences. Orlando's corrosive coastal air is hard on bonding lugs; verify they're intact.
If you feel any tingle in the water, get out immediately and contact a licensed Orlando pool electrician.
