I have a job to look at to get power to an Aeration System for a pond. I've been told that the aerator is cord connected 120V and that a 20A circuit would be great. The folks installing the Aerator is also going to install an Algae Control System in the future that requires AC power so they would like a 2 gang box for the Aerator and Algae Control.
The pond is about 200 to 220 feet from the house so I have to deal with Voltage Drop. I have about 40' inside the house before I go external.
I would like to know if I can run 12/2 NM in the house then switch to #6 THHN/THWN underground from the house to the pond?
As always, thanks in advance
