The ratings on AG (above-ground) pumps is pretty strange. If that pump ACTUALLY runs at 15 amps . . . trying to hook it to a receptacle is pretty dicey. However, my guess is, it does not normally run at that level. If you have to go less than 50' and have a 15A outdoor receptacle, I'd try it with a 12/3 outdoor extension cord. Do NOT use a 100' cord! Do use a GFCI, if your outdoor receptacle is NOT a GFCI. Here's what I mean, from Amazon:
US Wire 74050 12/3 50-Foot SJTW cord @ Amazon
Coleman Cable 02841 In-Line Tri-Source 12/3 SJEOW GFCI @ Amazon
Contrary to what some sources say, GFCI's can fail in a hazardous condition. That is, instead of failing with power-off, they can fail power-on. So, use your unit's test button regularly!!!
