Going from house to permanent pool, 20A circuit for pump, pump pulls 12A (more than 1/2 of circuit) so can't put convenience outlet on same circuit. Need to run another 20A circuit.(Not multiwire,2 hots, #12 grd & 2 neutrals) Was going to dig down 12" and run Sched 80 PVC, because having to run two 20A circuits, inspector says have to go down 18". Is that correct. It's not so much the extra digging, what's the big deal, one circuit or two?
