Without question, Central Florida is the lightning capital of Florida, and an electrical voltage spike, or surge, during one of the afternoon thunder storms often proves to be costly for pool owners.
Damage can be caused to high-voltage pool equipment including pool pump motors, spa air blowers, heat pumps, and pool lights. Low-voltage equipment at risk includes automated-control panels, displays, and actuator valves.
Replacing any of this equipment can be expensive as many an owner has discovered.
So, the simple solution is to install a voltage surge-protector. This can be wired into the power line feeding the pool equipment. Designed to detect and disrupt a surge, it’s a simple cost effective way to secure peace of mind during the summer months peak storm period.
Remember though, a surge-protection device should be installed by a licensed, trained and insured electrical contractor. No ‘do-it-yourself’ allowed…
