Electrical Requirements and Wiring
When pump is mounted permanently within 5 ft. of the inside walls of a swimming pool, you MUST use a
No. 8 AWG or larger conductor to connect to bonding conductor lug.
Wiring Installation
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 serious injury to
pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause 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 the 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. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
5. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don’t overlap or touch when connected to the terminal board.
