It is 1/2" conduit. If just pulling 4 #10 wires to replace the 3 #12 and 2 #14, then hopefully it would pull?

One last thing (for now), and excuse some ignorance. Do I need stranded or solid? I see THHN, is that the same?
Thanks for all your input. I replaced the wire this weekend with 10 gauge and got everything but the pool lights wired and running. Attaching picture just because.
Question: I bought a GFCI breaker for my 2 speed pump motor, however, it does not have a neutral wire running to it. In that case, it isn't GFCI protected correct? I essentially wasted $90?
Why is there no neutral wire? You should have replaced the wire with 4 - 10AWG wires (to include a ground). So 3 insulated conductors and a bare conductor for ground.
You should have L1, L2, Neutral as well as a Ground, all coming from the main panel into the ET sub-panel.
Sorry for the confusion, the ET definitely has a neutral. The pump doesnt take a neutral. It takes L1, L2(low), L2(high), and ground.
Have not read the entire post, but looking at your pic, is your ET powered from the bottom breaker? Looks like your feed form your main goes to the breaker and not the feed lugs. I guess that would work, just not sure if that would be to code. If it was wired to the lugs, you would free up breaker space. Maybe my eyes are deceiving me. Or is there a reason it was wired that way?
Correct, the neutral on a GFCI breaker doesn't go to the load device, it goes to the neutral bus, back to the source.
