I've decided to install a high water alarm on my sewage basin, and that alarm should be installed on a separate circuit from the pump. The closest thing I have available is the outlet for the water softener, but it has a single receptacle. Is there any reason I can't change that to a duplex?
My electrical experience consists of changing out outlets and switches and doing some low voltage work, so I really don't have any knowledge here. There is white Romex going from the receptacle directly to the panel. Does that mean this is its own circuit? Is this safe to do? It seems pretty benign, but I could be wrong.
I will have an electrician coming over sometime in the near future to give me a bid on my unfinished basement. This can wait until he comes, but I'd love to do it myself if I can.
Thanks in advance.
