Do you have to run an entirely new electrical line for a saltwater system?

Reading the NEC, it looks like our current electrical line that connects to the pump, can only be used for the pump.

Does this mean I have to have an electrical trench a new line to the pool, so I can install an outlet for the new saltwater system I just bought?

I was hoping they would be able to put a waterproof junction box and split into a new outlet.

 
Is your pump on a timer?

How do you control when the pump runs?
