I am wiring for a 220v hot tub in my back yard which will then also feed an above ground pool. I was told that I could use this dedicated line after the GFCI to run both.
The distance I have to go is great, approx 80-90ft from the breaker box (60ft indoor 20-30ft outside). For the Hot Tub I need to use 4 wires plus a ground.
My tub, Thermospa is calling for 220v, 50 amp breaker, 4 line (2 hot, neutral & ground)
I am having trouble finding this wire. Plus it seems this amount of wire is very expensive for this length. Can I double up two sets of 6-2 wires to make the set or can I purchase the #6 hot leads, #8 neutral and #12 ground each separately and run as one?
I am not going to do the box or unit wiring but I do want to run the lines to save $$. Your wisdom is appreciated.
Thanks & Best regards,
Matt
