Wiring
Pump must be permanently connected to circuit. Table I
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 circuit;
it will sense a short-circuit to ground and disconnect
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.
