Dance in the rain

This past week has been really rainy so we had to turn our attention to other parts of the project that have been dragging behind.
That is connecting the water heater and getting the pump/machine room properly wired up.
The electricity so far has been temporarily taken from a power socket but it needs its own power central.

First off, install the water heater. Decided that two concrete slabs would do as mounting point.
Made holes in the slabs and stuck 10mm bolts from beneath, as simple as that.
The water pipes were already in place so it was a matter of glueing two square angle connections to them with a little piece of PVC pipe and we were set. Power will be taken from the power central in the machine room, cables pulled under the sauna and connected.

Sunday I for the first time directed the water to the heater/pump. Apart from a minor drip leakage from the one of the connections in the bypass it all works like a charm. Tightening the leaking connection with a bit of force and the problem is solved. Now the water is flowing the proper path, even though that the heater is not powered it's at least part of the water flow.

To make things a bit simpler I decided to pre-assemble the power central by mounting everything on a piece of plywood. I can then stick the entire package to the wall and it would be a matter of connecting the in/out-cables when putting things into place.

Apart from the standard fuses there's also a timer to be used to control the water pump. There's no reason to let the pump run 24/7. With our size of pool 10-12h/day would be more than sufficient.
The big block is a DC-converter to power the lamp in the pool.
Also note the small white boxes, they are wirelessly (Nexa compatible) controlled circuit breakers/switches.
This means no cabling needed to control them. You can add a wireless control into almost anything even program them yourself using a computer or a raspberry (vacation project?).
To start with I'll be adding a wireless light sensor to turn on/off the lighting on the deck and then a manual control for the lamp in the pool.

Even though the weather gods took a piss on us we still managed to conjure up a few rain free hours allowing to continue the work with the deck.
We now pretty much have the entire support construction built. We're almost in a position to start to lay the actual decking.

We're keeping our time schedule to have the deck finished before vacation.
Next on the list is to drag out wiring for the lamps in the pool and on the deck.
