A larger wire isn't needed in my case since I have a pressure tank and the "water pump" is a small compressor. I'd bet it doesn't draw over 5 A. You could check specifications on supply pumps and see how large a wire is needed.
That's awesome...it had seemed from my reading that even 6-8 gauge wire was needed for a water pump..but not sooo?
The Shur-flo pump for a spray tank on my lawn tractor is connected with 14 AWG. Modern water supply pumps for RV's are very similar but checking specs is the best practice.
