Electrical Installation
3.2.1 Voltage Checks
The correct voltage, as specified on the pump data
plate, is necessary for proper performance and long
motor life. Incorrect voltage will decrease the pump's
ability to perform and could cause overheating, reduce
the motor life, and result in higher electric bills.
It is the responsibility of the electrical installer to
provide data plate operating voltage to the pump by
ensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for this
specific application.
CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)
during operation will cause the motor to overheat
and void the warranty.
3.2.2 Bonding
1.
The motor frame must be bonded to a reliable
grounding point using a solid copper conductor,
No. 8 AWG or larger. In Canada, No. 6 AWG or
larger must be used. If the pump is installed within
five (5) feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, the motor frame
must be bonded to all metal parts of the swimming
pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to all electrical
equipment, metal conduit, and metal piping within
five (5) feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
2.
Bond the motor using the provided external lug.
See Figure 3.
WARNING
Always disconnect the power source before working
on a motor or its connected load.
WARNING
In order to avoid the risk of property damage,
severe personal injury, and/or death, make sure
that the control switch, time clock, or control system
is installed in an accessible location, so that in the
event of an equipment failure or a loose plumbing
fitting, the equipment can be easily turned off.

The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to the
pump circuit, with the exception of devices that may
be required to operate simultaneously with the pump,
such as a chlorinating device or heater.
3.2.3 Electrical Wiring
1.
The pump motor must be securely and adequately
grounded using the green screw provided. Ground
before attempting to connect to an electrical power
supply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
2.
Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltage
drop during the start-up and operation of the
pump. See Table 2 for suggested wire sizes.
3.
Insulate all connections carefully to prevent
grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on
terminals require extra protection. For safety,
and to prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all
conduit and terminal box covers. Do not force
connections into the conduit box.
