Pond Boss Forums GENERAL QUESTIONS Help Capturing Water from a spring

I understand that.. But wire size needed is determined primarily by amp draw.. If your running 220 @ 1amp you could use 16 ga wire but if your running 220@1amp 1000' you might need 14-12.. That is just a hypothetical example don't hold me too any of that.. On my 3/4 220amp gast pump I think it pulls something like 3-4 per leg, which is nothing so I can get away with 12ga for a 500' run..

There is electrical websites that have charts for all this.. Some even said I could run 14ga but I chose 12 just to be safer

All dependent on amp draw
