The Dangerous pitfalls of just hiring any Regular Licensed Electrician. You Need a Pool, Spa & Dock Electrical Specialist to get it 100 % Right the First Time - Every Time

As East Tennessee’s Most Trusted and Referred Article 680 NEC Code Compliance Inspection and Electrical Shock Testing Company. Lately we are seeing an Alarming amount of Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs and Boat Docks that are being wire Wrong and they have multiple code violations and improper bonding issues, Which is a gateway for Stray Voltage, Equipment Faults, Electrical Faults to Allow Dangerous Voltage in the Water and can become a Lethal Shock potential. Sadly every time the customer says it was done by a “ Licensed Electrician “ that said he would do it right, But he failed to follow all the Article 680 NEC Codes to get it 100 % Right. Think about it - ANY Electrician that is not a Certified Master of the Article 680 NEC Codes with over 10 years of experience and extensive ongoing training, It will be Impossible for him to get it 100 % Right.

Although regular electricians are qualified to wire stoves, dryers and house circuits, the Fact is 9 out of 10 of them know absolutely Nothing or Very little about the 680 NEC Codes, But in order to get your money they will tell you they can do it right and because it actually works you believe it was wired to code, But that’s absolutely Not True. The Truth is, the 680 NEC Codes are so Complex that they require 10 or more years of experience and in-depth knowledge, with ongoing compliance training and continuing education on the New Code changes to analyze and Master all of them, to get it 100 % Right !!!

Where Water and Electricity Meet - There is ZERO Room for Error

Only a Pool, Spa and Dock Electrical Specialist can get it 100 % Right the First Time - Every Time

Just because it works, Will Never ensure that it meets Code or is Safe for your family.

If you don’t have a True 100 % Code Compliant Circuit and the proper Bonding, you have NO Safety Protection from Electrical Shocks, Stray voltage - Equipment and Electrical Faults, Fires or even Death ( Only 5 milliamps can electrocute you ).

The Hidden Danger is Every Pool, Spa or Dock can still Work even with incorrect wiring and multiple NEC Code Violations - Don’t Fall for the old “Low Price” bait and switch routine!!!

The Hidden Danger is that every spa, hot tub, pool or dock electrical can still work even if with the wrong wire and multiple Article 680 NEC Code Violations and Improper Bonding Issues. This is a Dangerous Safety Hazard with an Electrical Shock Potential just waiting to happen. These Incorrect Wiring jobs and Code Violation “pictures below” were done by Average Licensed Electricians, Who deceived the unknowing customer with the old “Low Price” bait and switch routine, then they had to cut corners to make a profit, putting that customer in unnecessary danger and potential shock hazards.

Some pictures below show voided spa and hot tub warranties for using the incorrect type wire mostly corroded Romex wiring, also shows burned out spa control boards, equipment damage & multiple Article 680 NEC code violations, Some show the customer was experiencing electrical shocks in their pool, spa or dock due to code violations, Improper Wiring and Bonding.

These Average Licensed Electricians, Who put their customers and those Family’s Safety at a Serious Risk with cheap wiring and then Wrongfully take their Money with the old “Low Price” bait and switch routine are unethical and are a blemish on the Real Electrical Specialist who believe in Quality and Code Compliance at a fair market price.

The Fact is: It’s Impossible to provide the over 280 - Article 680 NEC Code and the equipment warranty requirements using cheap materials like Romex wire that will corrode and deteriorate over time or Aluminum, SE, UF, NM-B or any other cheap type wire that has a Non - Insulated or bare Equipment Ground Conductor Safety wire that's also Not Allowed by code to be used on Pools, Spas, Hot Tubs or Docks and is a “Gateway” for Electrical Faults, Equipment Damage, potential Electrical Shocks or even worse !!!

Don’t be another victim, It is Impossible to be Code Compliant, Use the Correct Expensive Code and Warranty Compliant Materials at a Cheap Price - It is called The old “Low Price” Bait and Switch Routine - Don’t get Tricked by a Cheap Licensed Electrician, like these people did !!!

The Average Licensed Electricians “Wall of Shame” - Here are just a few pictures of the 100’s - We have been called to rewire to the 680 NEC Code
