I am having an above ground swimming pool installed. I need to wire a Salt System (110 volt), a Heater (115 volt) and a Pool Pump (115 volt).
I have a 20 amp breaker wired with 2/12 wire going outside to two 20 amp (125 volt) GFCI receptacles.
I would like to know if that is how it should be done?
Furthermore, I have to wire the Salt system and heater with male plugs. What gauge of wiring should I be using and what kind of plugs should I be using also. I am thinking that since I am using a 20 amp breaker and receptacles, I should be using 12 awg and 20 amp (125 volt) plugs (the ones with the side bar)? Or can I simply use 14 awg wire and regular 15 amp plugs?
The pool pump already comes with a 115 male plug, can I plug this unit into the 20 amp (125 volt) recetacles?
Thank you in advance!
