I need to have electrical ready for the pool guys who are going to begin digging soon. (inground vinyl pool). I am pretty handly, but I can not claim to be an electrical expert. this seems to me like it should be simple though.
The pool is going to have a 1 hp pump and a SWG. I have a 20 amp exterior GFI protected outlet about 30 feet from where the pump will go.
Is it as easy as replacing the outlet with a junction box, running romex through aluminum flex conduit 30 feet to another box with pig tails inside for the pump? Can I just extend the existing wiring with the romex? I have 12 gage romex in aluminum flex conduit ready to go, but I want to make sure it is as simple as this. This will be dedicated for the pump only on it's own circuit..
Thanks for any help.
