Line drop. Bull****. Use #6 copper UF cable, and the line-drop for a 400-foot run is 2.53 volts at 8 amps (1920 watts).

Repeat: cut the BS and do it right.

Pete-I already have the wire in the ground. It is sized correctly
for the length of the runs. I am not going to dig more ditches. And
what is wrong with using the existing switch to control a relay
instead of the pump directly? Would it be dangerous? Not meet code?
Would a different relay be better?
