There's a thread here where I asked about an issue I'll have to deal with for my pool, so I guess that's an introduction to what I'm doing and I'll be posting pics and so forth there as things move along.
But for now, I have a few questions regarding planning.
I know I need to power a pump. I'm going to need extra skimmers, since I know I'll have a leaf issue. I will be putting in some lights, in the pool and maybe on posts above ground. I also want to heat the pool - if not now, in the future. I'm also pretty sure there's going to be a lazy river.
This is all going to be near a guest house, which is an old pig barn that we're renovating. (Well guest house, recreation area, pool house, home theater - we're fitting a lot of fun into that building!)
My current problem is that we're working on the wiring for the renovated barn and we'll add an extra outdoor panel on the wall. From there, I will have an underground conduit that will lead under the road to the barn and to the pool. I need to get an idea of what I'm looking at in terms of powering everything for the pool. I know the heater will need 220V. I don't know how many amps it'll need, though. Is that the only thing I'll need 220V for? And about how much power do I need for the rest of everything? Am I leaving out anything I need to supply electricity to? (I know the lazy river pump is 220V and 50 amps. I'm trying to get numbers for the rest.)
