Last year I ran my pool pump off of an extension cord - simply wasn't in the budget to do it the right way. Kept it unplugged when in use for safety.
This year as I'm getting ready to open I am getting ready to wire things up correctly. I've got a 1HP Hayward pump that draws 11 amps (photo attached)
It will be located about 60 feet away from the breaker. Will 12 gauge wire be enough to run it safely?
