    Default How many amps for the pool area?

    I am having a electrician friend run a subpanel to the other side of the house so the PB can then wire the panel for the pool area. (PB wanted $$$) 24,000 gal pool.
    We will be running:
    1. two-speed pump. hayward's smallest northstar is 1.5 hp
    2. polaris booster pump.
    3. heat pump, hayward 110 btu (used to be EUS heatpump)
    4. pool light
    5. plug on side on panel...utility use only
    6. lights, ceiling fan and plugs for new porch.
    7. undermount cabinet fridge on the porch.

    Do you think 150 amps will cover this?
    Thanks for the input!!

    150 amps sounds like way more than enough. I have 50 amps for the following -

    400K Btu Heater
    (2) 2 hp pumps
    (2) pool lights
    (1) booster pump
    (2) outlet plugs - which I run two bug zappers and a sump pump (sometimes)

    I have been using this 50 amp service also to build a shed around my pool equipment. So I am frequently running all the above plus a 20 gallon air compressor and chop saw. Have never had any problems.

    I have everything including the heatpump you have minus the fridge and porch stuff. They ran me 100 amps to the intermatic panel that is rated for 100 amps. It works fine.
