OK, want to make sure I have this correct. I have an in-ground pool that I need to add a receptacle in 2 different spots for sump pumps. The receptacles UF-B wire is already in place running from receptacle locations back to pool light box. (22" deep). When the lights were done, electrician ran extra load line to lighting box (????) for this hookup at a later time.

My understanding is, and please correct me if I am wrong, is that because there is a GFCI breakers neutral in that conduit (especially being used for pool lights) from panel to light box that any other circuit sharing that conduit also has to be CFCI protected. Meaning just a load wire is not to code, I would need a separate neutral for each circuit/receptacle?

If I am correct then I have a couple of ways I can think of:

1- add another load and neutral line, put in a 20amp 240v GFCI breaker and do a split circuit.

2- add another load line and 2 neutrals with 2 15 AMP GFCI breakers making each receptacle on it's own circuit

3- a suggestion from you all
