GENERAL INFORMATION

WIRING

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock or electrocution.

This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool

serviceman in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and

ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death

or damage to property. Always disconnect power to the pool pump at the circuit breaker

before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury to

serviceman, pool users or others due to electric shock.

1. Make sure all electrical breakers and

switches are turned off before wiring

motor.

2. Make sure that the wiring voltage

matches the motor voltage (230v or

115v). If they do not match the motor

will burn up.

3. Choose a wire size from Chart 1. When

in doubt use a heavier gauge (larger

diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will

allow the motor to run cooler and more

efficient.

4. Cut wires to the appropriate length so

they don’t overlap or touch when

connected to the terminal board.

5. Make sure all electrical connections are

clean and tight.

6. Permanently ground the motor using

the internal, green ground terminal

located on the inside of the motor

canopy or access plate, see Figure 1.

Use the correct wire size and type

specified by National Electrical Code.

Make sure the ground wire is connected

to an electrical service ground.

7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in

accordance with the National Electrical

Code. Use a solid NO.8 AWG or larger copper conductor. Run a wire from the brass external

bonding clamp, see Figure 1, to the pool bonding structure.

8. Connect the pump permanently to a circuit. Make sure no other lights or appliances are on

the same circuit.

NOTE: If the pump is installed below the water level of the pool, close return and suction lines prior to

opening hair and lint pot on pump. Make sure to re-open valves prior to operating.
