Pool Equipment Electrical Setup in Hickory, NC

Touchstone Electric completed a Specialty project for Ivy Creek Pools in Hickory, NC, delivering a safe, code-compliant pool equipment electrical setup. On March 5, 2026, our Charlotte branch (based in Matthews) dispatched technician Chris Rogers to install and wire the pool pump and controls, and to verify proper bonding and grounding for long-term, reliable operation.

This job focused on Pool & Hot Tub Electrical services, ensuring the equipment is protected, correctly sized, and compliant with National Electrical Code requirements for pools.

What We Did

Set and secured the pool equipment, including the pump and control components, for stable operation and service access.
Installed and terminated conductors to the pump and controls using approved wet-location wiring methods and fittings.
Provided and confirmed GFCI protection for the pump/control circuit to enhance swimmer and equipment safety.
Completed bonding and grounding of metallic equipment parts to support an equipotential bonding system per pool code requirements.
Labeled circuits and verified correct rotation and operation of the pump and controls.
Performed functional testing and final safety checks for a clean, professional finish.

The result is a neat, accessible equipment area with correctly protected circuits and verified bonding for safe day-to-day use.
