I am in the starting stage of installing a above ground pool, just starting to collect items before the install
my question is what gauge wire should i be looking for
pump will be located 200 ft from house fuse panel, and from what I have read that there will be some voltage drop over that length of a run,
1 1/2 hp motor
15 amp
120 volts
20amp breaker in panel
I was thinking like 200ft 10-2 direct burial 18" deep
20amp GFI on post 5ft away from pool wall with weather cover
and bond the pump and pool
do all you thinks 10-2 will be enough to allow for the drop in volts for that lenght of a run
