I have a 15amp breaker for my:
- 1 HP pump, 7.5 amps
- Heater (gas, electric starter, amps are negligible)
- SWG, 1 amp
- 3/4 Booster, 6.4 amps (NEW)
These are all at 240. The pump ratings are MAX. I'm guessing thats what they need when starting.
Question.... by adding the booster pump this brings my MAX total to 15 amps, am I getting too close to my maximum for the breaker? Or, since the booster doesn't start the same time as the main pump will their theoretical maximums never happen at the same time?
For what its worth, theres another 15 amp GFI dedicated to my pool light. Could I tap that? Not sure what it needs amp wise.
Running another line to the sub box would be a major PIA at this point so I hope I can make do with what I've got :? .
TIA,
Kevin
