Section I; General Information - Pentair Pool Products WhisperFlo Owner's Manual

To reduce the risk of injury, do not permit children to use this product unless they are closely supervised at all times.
This pump is for use with permanently installed pools and may also be used with hot tubs and spas if so marked. Do not use with storable
pools. A permanently installed pool is constructed in or on the ground or in a building such that it cannot be readily disassembled for storage.
A storable pool is constructed so that it may be readily disassembled for storage and reassembled to its original integrity and has a
maximum dimension of 18 feet (5.49m) and a maximum wall height of 42 inches (1.07m).
For hot tubs and spa pumps, do not install within an outer enclosure or beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa unless so marked.

SECTION I.

GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Wiring.
This pool pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool installer in accordance with the
2008 National Electrical Code ("NEC") and/or all applicable local codes and ordinances. The specific section of NEC
covering your pump may vary depending on your location. Some states, and/or municipalities may not have adopted
the 2008 edition of the NEC. In this case your state or local code may only be applicable and/or an earlier edition of the
NEC may apply. Please check your local and state codes and regulations before commencing any installation of this
pump. Improper installation could create, among other things, an electrical hazard which may result in death or serious
injury to pool users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and/or property damage. Always disconnect power to
the pool pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury
to pool users, installers or others (due to electrical shock) and/or property damage.
1. Make sure all electrical breakers and switches are
turned off before wiring motor.
2. Make sure that the wiring voltage matches the motor
voltage (230v or 115v). If they do not match the motor
will burn up.
3. Choose a wire size from the Chart 1. When in doubt use a
heavier gauge (larger diameter) wire. Heavier gauge will
allow the motor to run cooler and more efficient.
4. Make sure all electrical connections are clean and tight.
5. Cut wires to the appropriate length so they don't overlap
or touch when connected to the terminal board.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground
terminal located on the inside of the motor canopy or
access plate, see Figure 1. Use the correct wire size and
type specified by National Electrical Code. Make sure the
ground wire is connected to an electrical service ground.
