My customer is having a makeover for their in-ground pool. A lot of cosmetic stuff like removing and replacing the decking and coping, fence replacement, all new landscaping and moving the filter to the opposite end of the pool.
I have done almost no previous work on pools so I thought I would run it by you guys and gals.
The filter pump is fed from a 2p 20 in a subpanel in the garage next to the main panel. That subpanel also has a 1p 15 gfci breaker for the pool receptacle. Each is fed with underground PVC. The owner wants the pump relocated to the opposite end of the pool behind an existing shed and the receptacle to be mounted on the shed.
Can I cut into the existing PVC conduits and use an inground flower pot JB to intercept and extend the wiring to the new locations?
Can I run the new circuits to the shed and then run through the shed to get to the pump? I also want to put a time clock in the shed for the pump.
Will the pump now have to be on a gfci breaker? It isn't now.
How close to the pool can the conduits be run? I want to run them in the same trench as the pool contractors new water pipes to save on trenching.
I assume I will have to find the buried #8 solid and attach it to the pump at its new location.
What is this pool rookie overlooking?
