OK im new here and have a question regarding my pump (Sta Rite 1.5hp) plug in setup....I plan on having my pool installed near an outdoor GFCI outlet. Im not 100% sure if its 15 or 20 amp yet. The outlet is located about 6 ft from the pool, I wanted to know if I could run a heavy duty extension from the pump to the outlet. It will not be real long but the cord on the pump is not long enough to reach the outlet. I plan on wiring it direct eventually but just wanted to get it up and running for this season. Also while on the subject, should I bond the pump to the pool???
