I am about to get an Aquarite SWCG system.
I have a screened porch about 60 feet (and around a corner) from the pump/filter cluster. I'd like to put the control panel in the porch for several reasons (gfci already present, indicators will be easier to see than if I have to walk down to the filter every time, etc.).
The installers say the CP has to go within reach of the provided 15' cable. Is there a compelling reason not to simply make an extension? I can probably buy male and female connectors to match online, and I'm completely comfortable making cables/cords for automation systems, computers, whatever.
Why not locate the CP where I can see it to tell if the yellow lights come on?
