Hello,
Construction will begin on medium sized in-ground concrete pool for my family in about 6-8 weeks.
My question has more to do with the electrical side of things.
My home has a 125amp 30 slot panel with plenty of room to expand. (9 slots open) my house is also all gas. Gas stove, heater, water heater and dryer.
I'm told the pool will require 3 slots. 220 pump and 110 lights. I will also probably request a swg. So that requires another slot i believe.
In addition to the pool while all the electrical work is being done, I want to build a shed with 2 110 circuits and run a dedicated circuit for a freezer in my garage.
This will leave me with 2 slots with which I want to hook up a transfer switch for a portable generator.
So after all that I have no slots left running off a 125 amp panel.
I'm just not sure how having a pool pump running for hours will tax my existing electrical system
I have 3 options.
1. Get the slim breakers to give me more room in the current panel.
2. Install a sub panel.
3. Upgrade the whole system to 200 amps with the slim breakers.
I know this is not totally pool related, but I need some guidance.
Thank you
