    What kind of panel for pool?
    I am getting a pool installed soon and my question is what type of wire do I run from the house to the pool house? I want to be able to run the pool pump(1HP) the pool heater(240) some lights and some outlets for a small fridge,some music. Also I need to know what type of panel would support this. Thank you for your help.

    For the heater, 240 is the voltage. What does it draw??

    This will be a key factor.

    The heatet has a DS (direct spark) which works on 24volts. The heater is supplied with a dual voltage transformer for either 120v or 240v. When its wired with a pump the electrical circuit only draws 0.3amps

    OH, so it is a gas heater?


    Who is doing this electrical work? Pools have MANY important codes that MUST be followed closely.
