be permanently connected to an appropriate electrical circuit.
If other lights or appliances are also on the same circuit, be sure to add their amp loads before
calculating wire and circuit breaker sizes. Use the load circuit breaker as the Master On-Off switch.
Always 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 for GFCI, see manufacturer’s instructions. In case of a power outage, check GFCI for
tripping, which will prevent normal pump operation. Reset if necessary.
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.
Above Ground FX PRO VS II pump has pre-attached power cords with 3

availability.
If you do not use conduit when wiring motor, be sure to seal wire opening on the back
