Hello all,
Just some question about what size and type of wire I need for my pool pump. I have a 16'x32' in ground pool that has been neglected by previous home owner's in the house I moved into (it's a swamp, tadpoles and all). The wiring up to the pool was buried about 1" below the ground surface and there were connections made and just wrapped in tape, most of this wiring is was pulled out and or cut out. I am looking to run a new line to my pump, overall length from my panel to the pump is under 80'. I am replacing the pump so I could go either 110V or 220V. I have a roll leftover 10/2 Romex from a different project that I believe is enough but am wondering if this would be suitable for running the pump. Also if there is any other wiring I would need to run up there, I am guessing I need to run a ground wire up for the pool itself as I believe there was one along with the original wire as well. I plan on running this all underground in PVC conduit so I'm trying to figure out everything I would need in advance. Thanks for your time and effort.
