Hot Tub & Pool Electrical in Florence, SC — Spa Wiring, Pool Equipment, GFCI
Spa wiring, pool equipment circuits and the GFCI protection and bonding code requires.
Hot Tub & Pool Electrical in Florence & the Pee Dee
Water and electricity demand respect. Hot tubs, spas and pools have strict code rules — a dedicated GFCI-protected circuit, a disconnect within sight, and proper bonding of metal parts — because the consequences of getting it wrong are severe. Palmetto Electric wires spas and pool equipment to those standards so your backyard is relaxing, not risky.
We coordinate with your spa or pool installer, run the right circuit, set the disconnect at the correct distance, and bond everything that needs bonding.
Common problems we fix
- New hot tub or spa needing a dedicated circuit
- Pool pump, heater or lights needing wiring
- No GFCI protection or disconnect at the spa
- Improper or missing equipotential bonding
- Old spa wiring that trips or corrodes
- Outdoor circuits without weatherproof gear
- Adding lighting or outlets near the pool deck
What homeowners ask us first
What does a hot tub need electrically?
Typically a dedicated 240V GFCI-protected circuit and a manual disconnect within sight of the spa (but a safe distance away). We size it to your spa's nameplate and install the disconnect to code.
Why is bonding required around pools and spas?
Bonding ties metal parts together so they can't carry a dangerous voltage difference. It's a critical, code-required safety step that prevents shocks in and around the water.
Can you handle the whole pool equipment hookup?
Yes — pump, heater, salt system and lighting, all on properly protected circuits, coordinated with your pool contractor.

Does a hot tub need its own circuit?
Yes — a dedicated, GFCI-protected circuit sized to the spa. Sharing a circuit causes trips and is unsafe. We run the correct dedicated line.
How far does the disconnect have to be?
Code requires a disconnect within sight of the spa but not too close to the water. We place it at the compliant distance.
My spa GFCI keeps tripping — why?
Moisture intrusion, a failing heater element, or a wiring fault are common causes. We test the circuit and the spa connections to find it. See our GFCI guide too.
Do you pull the permit for pool and spa wiring?
Yes — this work requires a permit and inspection, and we handle it as part of the job.
