Voltage
Voltage at motor MUST NOT be more than 10% above or below motor name plate rated voltage, or motor may overheat,
causing overload tripping and reduced component life. If voltage is less than 90% or more than 110% of rated voltage when
motor is running at full load, consult Power Company.
Grounding and Bonding
Install, ground, bond, and wire motor in accordance with local or national electrical code requirements.
Permanently ground motor. Use green ground terminal provided under motor canopy or access place; use size and type
wire required by code. Connect motor ground terminal to electrical service ground. Bond motor to pool structure. Bonding
will connect all metal parts within and around the pool with a continuous wire.
Bonding reduces the risk of a current passing between bonded metal objects, which could potentially cause electrical shock
if grounded or shorted. Reference NEC codes for all wiring standards including, but not limited to, grounding,
bonding and general wiring procedures.
Use a solid copper conductor, size 8 or larger. Run wire from external bonding lug to reinforcing rod or mesh. Connect a
No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm2) solid copper bonding wire to the pressure wire connector provided on the motor housing and to all
metal parts of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, and to all electrical equipment, metal piping (except gas piping), and conduit
within 5 ft. (1.5 m) of inside walls of swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
Different pumps come with different type and size hose or plumbing fittings. Review the Technical Sections in this Owners
/ Installation manual to insure you have the correct fitting before starting installation. If your new pump is replacing an
older pump it may be necessary to find specialized plumbing fitting to make the plumbing connections. Check with your
local pool professional store or a well-equipped hardware store to find what you need.
Wiring
WARNING – All wiring must be done by a licensed electrician.
See specific wiring instructions in the Technical Data sections for each pump covered by this manual.
If local electrical codes call for power cords with twist lock plugs, please check with your local professional pool store or
on line for availability.
WARNING – Never use an extension cord to connect a pump with a pre-wired cord to the
