Michelle,
I'm not an electrician, but have wired houses,
commercial property, and underground/wet applications. By the book, a
connection exposed to water is supposed to be wrapped first with rubber tape,
then electrical tape, then coated with Scotch Cote (sp?). There is
also a kit that can be obtained at a hardware store that you can put over the
connection and heat it with a torch and it shrinks and seals the
connection. Power companies use a kit that involves a two part resin
that is mixed and poured in a mold around the connection to make it water
tight.
I've seen several water wells connections
made by simply wrapping regular electrical tape very tightly around the
connection, without any additional sealant whatever. Vinyl electrical
tape isn't supposed to be water-proof but it seems to work, if wrapped tight
enough. However, considering there is a risk of electrical shock, I would
probably coat the connection with Scotch Cote, or get one of the
kits.
