Electricity....

Question for those that might know....

I might be purchasing a small pump unit that uses 20amps.

As far as I know this means I can use any open 20amp circuit in the home for example a bathroom or kitchen.

Is this the case or am I regulated to using a dryer plug or something cumbersome like that?

Thanks!

As you say a kitchen or bathroom should be able to handle it unless the circuit is under load (microwave in use).
It simply might be that the pump mfg recommends a dedicated 20 amp circuit. That's how my sump pump is for my house.
