Heavy Duty

I'm using a heavy duty outdoor extension cord with an above ground pool. How can I protect it?

I have an Intex pool for the kids with a short cord. I need to use a heavy duty outdoor extension cord for the filter. I don't like leaving that laying on the lawn with dew and rain and everything. Can I put it in some kind of conduit? I do not run the filter when anyone is in the pool, just in case. I do have an outdoor GFI-protected outlet. I'm sure I'm not the only one doing this!! Thanks!

You have a couple of options. You can either rerun the cable in steel wire armored .This can be run on the surface and will offer adequate protection but obviously this requires aqualified ellectrician.
the best option for you is probably to run your cable inside whats is known as flexible conduit or trade name KOPEX. you can get this from most good electrical wholesalers.
