Hi everyone, my 27' Destination pool w/ aluminum wall has arrived! We have a July 7th install date. I'm ordering electrical items and have questions regarding whether or not I'd need a sub panel.
I have a Hayward PowerFlo LX pump (SP1515Z1BC) (115v)and an AquaTrol SWG with T-5 cell. My receptacle will be about 60'-70' from the main panel box inside my basement. Would this length be okay to run a 20amp circuit, with #12 wire or would I be looking at running a sub panel near the pool with more ampacity?
My electrical inspector says the convenience receptacle and the pump receptacle can be on the same circuit if the pump is less than 50% of circuit ampacity. The PowerFlo LX shows 12.0 Amps, so right of the bat I'm thinking I need a separate circuit for the convenience receptacle. The pump is plugged into the AquaTrol as the AquaTrol has a built in timer.
Who else has an AquaTrol SWG? Any chance you can share how you wired it and the convenience receptacle?
I'm looking to run the wire in pvc conduit under ground, does 3/4" conduit sound good? The big box stores sell a lot of THHN but I don't see THWN. THWN is wet rated and THHN is not correct? Any good sources for THWN wire? Is stranded wire, black,white, green okay or do I need solid copper wires?
Thanks a bunch! Happy swimming to everyone!
