All,
I recently purchased a home with a pool that needed some love. The SWG system was for an above ground pool (this pool is in ground) and other various issues. I recently purchased an intellicenter for pool automation. Currently the pump is wired for 240V and the power box is fed using 10/2 wire. The pool light is plumbed from the house on a switch using 120V. Here is my question….
Since I need both 240 and 120V at the intellicenter is it possible to wire for 240 using only 10/2 wire. My assumption here is not having the neutral of a 10/3 cablewill not allow this. Assuming this is true would it be possible to extend the 120V that is feeding my pool light to the intellicenter and use that for 120v? While still feeding the intellicenter with the 240V. I’m certainly not an electrician but I want to be prepared for when the installer comes. I am already digging a trench to extend the pool light to the intellicenter currently so in the same trench I could extend the 120 that fed the light and be done. Not sure if this is the right way to go though. Rerunning the 240 using 10/3 would likely be the correct method but that run passes through a ton of trees that I simply do not have the effor or money to do!
