How does your pool's electrical box work?

The electrical box of your swimming pool is a piece of essential equipment that records several functions. Indeed, it allows you to protect the pump by a magneto thermal circuit breaker, which in the event of an overcurrent, cuts off the operation of your pump, but also to control the filtration schedules, or even to control equipment such as the pool lighting.

Pump system protection

Concretely, to effectively protect the pump, the electrical box of your swimming pool causes a short circuit. The magneto thermal circuit breaker used to protect your swimming pool equipment is not systematically included. This is why it is important to choose a circuit breaker adapted to the power of the filtration pump of your swimming pool.

The electrical box of your swimming pool can be installed inside a technical room, for example, or outside. In any case, it is important that it is installed at a minimum distance of 3 m, 5 from the edge of the pool. Indeed, the regulations provide for the correct safety distance between the swimming pool electrical box and the edge of the pool, so that the power supply to your pool is optimal and secure in all circumstances.

Filtration programming

The electrical box of your pool is also used to program the filtration times. Equipped with an integrated clock, the electrical box of your pool automatically starts the filtration pump according to the pre-established settings.

In conclusion, the electrical box of your swimming pool fulfills the role of programming control and protection of the general system of your pool. Thanks to its various functionalities, you can control the filtration schedules, the start-up of the suppression robot, or even the operation of the heat pump. From the electrical box of your swimming pool you can also control and accessory equipment such as the switching on or off of the projectors of your swimming pool.
