Wanted to update this post, I checked with a local electrician and he agreed a subpanel and breakers are required to meet code. Therefore, I purchased a 4 space/8 circuit, 125 amp box and two, 15 amp double pole breakers. Used two whips from Lowes for wiring. I think it worked out pretty well...

Ahhh, good point, thank you.

Currently it is outside but I will be building a pump house at some point.

Okay, I gotcha. Wouldn't the subpanel with two 15amp breakers work then?

Why would the booster need to be on a separate circuit? A 30amp breaker is plenty for two 240V pumps that are rated to pull a combined amperage of 13 amps. It would take a massive effort to pull a new circuit and is impractical.

Both pumps are 240v so low amp pull...

Thank you bud16415 for both the advice and welcome! Both pumps will not be turning on and off together. The vertical pump comes on to fill the aerator. Once the aerator is full, a float will cause pressure to build in that pressure tank so the pump will turn it off. On the other side of the...

Hello everyone. I have a questions concerning adding a booster pump to my well location. I currently have 10/2 UF running from a 30amp breaker in my main to a vertical, 1 hp pump. I'm now putting in an aerator so I need to add a 1/2hp or 3/4hp booster pump to rebuild pressure going in to the...
