I have switch at pool pump location, can I install 110v outlet off 220v switch?

Not you need a neutral at the switch and with it being 220 volts you don't have that.

I have black (hot)-white (hot) and insulated green.

Still need a neutral.

It's not a good idea to go screwing around with pool pump wiring. Someone could be killed.

ok no more room in panel, can i run just nuetral wire from panel?

No:no:. Find another circuit or make room in the panel. Don't touch the pool circuit.

They make tandem breakers to replace single breaker with 2 mini breakers. These can ONLY be used for 120v circuits

And that is only if his panel will accept a split mini breaker

OK, Found out Main Panel has one 20amp breaker on right side (black wire)and one 15amp THQL GFCI on left side (white wire), that is supply for 220v to pool pump, is thhis a correct setup or was this done by an amatuer?

IMO it done by amatuer and it is NOT a legit set up like that you need to change to correct two pole breaker.

The reason why what if one of the conductor shorted out one breaker will trip and the other one may stay on or tripped and also if you want to kill the power to that circuit you have to spend extra time to find two breakers like that if you only turn off one and the other one still enerized ya got distator waiting for ya.

Now you understand why you need a true two pole breaker for this useage.

[rickywb]

Yes, should this be gfci double pole, 20amp?

 

[frenchelectrican]

Yes if cord et plug attached but hardwired pump useally no it don't need GFCI unless the local codes say something diffrent.

Pump is hard wired to on/off switch at filter site.
Thanks for info
