Is alright to run a outdoor extension cord to a pond. The cord runs
about 15 feet to a gfi . And can I place the cord underground..about 6
inches. Dont have the cash right now to do it right.

UGF Romex is pretty cheap. Putting it deeper is just more labor, which
is free if you do it yourself. PVC conduit is cheap too.

But does PVC at 6inches meet local code?

BV.



No, it must be rigid steel conduit. Still cheap though. If you already have
an outdoor outlet, it is relatively easy to tap into and run UGF 2 feet
underground or in rigid conduit at 6 inches underground.
