Have a 1hp 10gpm well pump 200' down, and will be pulling power from 220 feet away. All the charts I have looked at say 10 gauge will easily handle that load and distance.
The pressure tank, filters and and piping will be in an insulated 6x6 pump house so will need a heat source for winter time. Not sure yet if it will be a heat lamp, heat tape, or what so want a little built in cushion on wire size.
Without knowing the exact heating requirements do you think 8 gauge would be sufficient or should I drop down to 6 gauge?
Once again it will be in a small insulated shed, and our winters rarely get below 20 degrees.
