Adding electrical outlet(s) outside

[Blivit79]

I would like to add an electrical outlet outside, near my pool pump, and use my pool panel as a source. Is this possible?

I know it would need to be a covered gfci outlet. Inside my garage, I have a 2-pole 20a main breaker that goes to the pool panel (bottom in this picture):


The pool panel out back, currently has 3-15a breakers, 1 for the light and 2 for the pump:


Can I add another 15a breaker to the pool panel and run at outlet here?

79,

I can't see why not..

The key is what do you plan to use the outlet for..??

Keep in mind that what you have now, plus the new outlet, will only be able to draw 20 amps max...

Thanks,

Thanks. I have drainage issues in my back yard. I sometimes have to run a small sump pump to pump water away from the house. When I do this, I have to plug into an outlet on my patio and run an extension cord to the pump. If I put a dedicated outlet here I wouldn't have to do this and it would be much closer. I haven't checked the draw on the pump I use though.
