Hey folks.
I have a question. For a submersible pump what is the correct type of wire, stranded or solid?
I was shopping around for some wire for my well as I only need about 50 feet and went to the local lumberyard which sells pumps and related items.
I asked the clerk (who has been there for years) and he showed me a package of romex and said that he sells that for pump wire.
I always use stranded for situations where there is vibration or motion so this would seem to be incorrect.
I have a large amount of SOW cable around and was wondering it this would work.
Thanks,
Brad
