Type of wire and conduit to run from pool pump to switch?

[Crepes]

Hi all.

I have a run of just a few feet from my pool pump to the switch that turns it on/off. Currently there is 14 gauge romex from the pump to the switch with just a clamp-style connector at the pump. I believe romex is only for indoor use.

I am thinking I should use this wire - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-SIMpull-3-Power-Cord/1000920768 (chose 12 gauge as the wire coming from the fuse box is 12 gauge)
This conduit - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-...onduit-Common-1-2-in-Actual-0-5-in/1000239881
And this elbow - https://www.lowes.com/pd/Southwire-1-2-in-Right-Angle-Type-Connector-Conduit-Fitting/3615576

Does any of that sound incorrect?

You've got the right idea. Southwire make pre-assembled "whips" from 4' to 8' long:

Ah, I did see that yesterday but thought 10 gauge would be too large (and it was red/green/black, which I think is for ~230 volt, I only have 115 volt). But it is good to know I am picking up the right stuff. Thanks!

Yes, you are on the right track with material.

Check your existing wire because it might be type UF cable that is suitable for outside use. Sometimes it gets confused with Romex which is not suitable for outside.

Existing wire from the pump is romex or something similar, it isn't UF. UF is running from the fuse box to the switch though. I have an electrician coming to replace the fuse box with a breaker box so that I can use higher voltage as well. I will replace the pump wire at that time and just leave it as is for now. Thanks!
