How do you ground a pool filter?
We have a large filter pump on our pool. When we installed the above ground pool, we put a in ground pump on it to keep it excessively clean. We had our neighbor, an electrical engineer, install a 220 v circuit breaker in a circuit box next to the pool which is also attached to the breaker in the house. Most pool installation companies feel that this is unnecessary which is what I was told when I which to a specialty electrical supply co. The part costs $250 and fortunately was installed for free. I wouldn't have it any other way. Any static or close electrical storm activity trips the breaker. Last summer, lightning stroke our tree which was 15 feet from the pool. The tree blew up but the pool pump was just fine. Hope this helps.

If you have just leased a home and cannot find the switch to turn on the pool light how can you trace it?
Pool lightCall the company or person that leased you the property and ask them where the switch is to the pool light. If they don't know; often a pool light is turned on by a breaker in the panel marked "pool light." A breaker is an overcurrent protective device, it can not be used to "switch" a light unless it is marked "SWD".

How does running in a pool compare to running on the ground?
Running in the pool allows for you to exercise whether you're fit or injured, as the main resistance while doing this is the water itself. Unline running on land, pool running is a non-impact form of exercise as your feet aren't touching the bottom of the pool. Doing pool running helps you recover faster from an injury as you are able to stay in shape, still working on the same muscles as you would on running on land. If you choose to do this form of exercise to supplement your running, it would be best to pick up either a flotation belt or a jogging vest to keep you properly upright and be able to have the same kind of running motion but in a pool. If you don't have that available, you could instead either pool run moving your knees higher, or you could do a longer, sweeping kind of running gait where your leg sweeps slower, lower and further back.
