Running power pump

[Suicide6]

Hey guys, always seems TFP comes to the rescue when I google a prob but can’t seem to find the answer so I bit the bullet and registered.

here is my issue:

from the forum i rum I just realized I was a bad boy the last two years running my intex pool off an extension cord.

just moved to a new house and we got a bigger (20’) pool. Only level ground is 100’ from house. I am a renter so digging up yard and burying cable is going to be an issue. Can I run conduit along fence and install GFCI outlet on fence and have electrician tap into house? That way when I move in 3 years we can easily remove?

thanks in advance.

Welcome to TFP!

IMO, that would be much better than an extension cord. But, it really depends on the code authority in your location as to whether that is allowed.

You would need to consult your local building codes to answer that question, but I would not see a huge issue.

Conduit can be mounted to fencing. The NEC has codes that dictate the mounting means to mount it to "structures" . The fence qualifies as a structure and as lon as you folow the codes you should be OK.
