All pools and hot tubs should have their equipment installed with GFCI protection. You can learn more about what a GFCI outlet is an how it works over on our blog.
An emergency shut-off button is an important safety tool to have when you own a pool. This piece of equipment will shut off the power to your pool pump in the event that a person becomes trapped. An alert can also be utilized with an emergency shut-off button to ensure that anyone in the area is aware of the emergency situation.
