I have your standard in-ground pool with a liner to wire with one pool light, gas heater, and filter pump. The pump pulls 7.5 amps at 240v and the heater pulls 3 amps at 240v. The heater and pump are about 30 feet from the pool and right next to the house so I was going to run one 20 amp 240v GFI protected circuit and mount two 240v switches on the outside of the house for each unit and hard wire them.
I know that the pump needs to be GFI protected but I can't find anything about GFI protection for the small motor in the gas heater. I'm 67.9% sure it does not need it but would like to be 100%. Would you run them on the same circuit or run two? I've wired inside pool lights before - 3/4 pvc from brass deck box to panel - unbroken green #12 thhn from deck box to panel - GFI protected.
I'm always the high bidder on pool jobs because for some reason I hate wiring them. Well apparently this guy did not get any other bids and now I'm wiring a pool next week. I guess I still need one GFI receptacle between 5 and 20 feet from the waters edge and no wiring within 5 feet of the pool and the pvc needs to be buried 18 inches below grade. All bonding was done by the pool company and inspected, I'll just have to bond their conductor to the heater and the pump. Did I forget anything besides spellcheck?
