Hello
I could use some expertise to help me choose the best way to wire my equipment.
I have a 24' AGP with pump and filter located on a back corner of my yard.
Originally I was planning to run 12 AWG THWN wire in PVC conduit 18 inches bellow the ground with twist lock receptacle connected to GFCI circuit breaker.
However, I decided to complicate things and finally pulled the trigger on RJ-45 SWG.
My pump draws 15 Amps on High speed and 4.4 Amps on low and requires 115 Volts.
RJ-45 supposed to draw between 2.5 to 7.8 Amps and can be on 120 V or 240 V circuit.
Is there any advantage to have SWG wired on 240 V circuit?
If not, I supposed to I can still have it hardwired to one circuit with something like 40 Amps GFCI circuit breaker, correct?
This option would be the easiest to achieve but most inconvenient as I would rather remove pump for winter storage.
The most convenient option would be to wire something like 100 Amps sub panel but I'm not sure if this would be worth money and effort for AGP.
I was also entertaining the idea of wiring 2 separate circuits in the same PVC conduit but I'm not sure if there would be much of advantage from it.
Ultimately I want pump and SWG on the same timer. I don't plan to add heater and I don't really need any extra outlets as I run my pool robot off of exterior GFCI outlet on a side of my house.
I run my pump on low speed except for when vacuuming, which thanks to my new robot, I hope I will never have to do again.
What would be the best solution? What would you do in my place?
