Wiring
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I,
below, gives correct wire and circuit breaker sizes for the
pump alone. If other lights or appliances are also on the
same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads to pump
amp load before figuring wire and circuit breaker sizes.
(If unsure how to do this or if this is confusing, consult a
licensed electrician.) Use the load circuit breaker as the
master on-off switch.
Install a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) in cir-
cuit; it will sense a short-circuit to ground and discon-
nect power before it becomes dangerous to pool users.
For size of GFCI required and test procedures, see GFCI
manufacturer’s instruction.
In case of power outage, check GFCI for tripping (which
will prevent normal pump operation). Reset if necessary.
NOTICE: If you do not use conduit when wiring motor,
be sure to seal wire opening on end of motor to prevent
dirt, bugs, etc., from entering.
