Install and bond pump according to local codes and ordi-
nances; use bonding lug on motor (see Figure 1). Use
solid copper conductor No. 8 AWG (8.4mm
2
) or larger.
Wiring:
See the wiring diagram on the motor housing for wiring
connection information. Pump must be permanently con-
nected to circuit. Tables IA and IB, Pages 6 and 7, give
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 electri-
cian.) 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 for GFCI, see
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.
To Wire a Two-Speed Motor:
Wire the pump as shown in the diagram.
Voltage:
Voltage at motor must be not more than 10% above or
below motor nameplate rated voltage or motor may over-
heat, 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.
Values given in tables on Pages 6 and 7 are for
PUMP MOTOR ONLY. If additional spa acces-
sories are installed on pump motor circuit (heater,
blower, etc.), include their amperage draw when figur-
ing wire and circuit breaker sizes.
