Electrical Wiring Installation
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION. This IntelliFloXF
installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified service professional in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and all applicable local codes and ordinances. Improper installation will create an electrical hazard which could result in death or
serious injury to users, installers, or others due to electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.
Always disconnect power to the pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in
death or serious injury to service people, users or others due to electric shock.
Read all servicing instructions before working on the pump.
To connect the pump to an AC power source:
1. Be sure all electrical breakers and switches are turned
off before wiring motor.
2. Be sure that the supply line voltage matches the motor
voltage listed on the motor plate (example 230 VAC
or 115 VAC). If they do not match, permanent motor
damage may occur.
3. For wiring sizes and general guidelines for proper
electrical installation, please follow the specifications
defined in the National Electric Code and any local
codes as required.
4. Use strain relief and be sure all electrical connections
are clean and tight.
5. Cut the wires to the appropriate length so they do
not overlap or touch when connected.
6. Permanently ground the motor using the green ground
wire. Use the correct wire size and type specified by
National Electrical Code. Make sure the ground wire
is connected to an electrical service ground.
7. Bond the motor to the pool structure in accordance
with the National Electrical Code. Use a solid copper
bonding conductor not smaller than 8 AWG. Run a
wire from the external bonding screw or lug to the
pool bonding structure.
Note: When the pump is started and stopped by
removing power with a relay or timer, a two-pole
device should be used to apply and remove
power to both POWER LINE TERMINALS.
Pentair offers 2-Pole 20 Amp GFCI breakers
(P/N PA220GF) which offer 6 milliamp personnel
protection while meeting 2008 to current NEC
Standards for Pool Pumps.

8. Connect the wire from the accessible bonding lug on
the motor to all metal parts of the swimming pool, spa,
or hot tub structure and to all electrical equipment,
metal conduit, and metal piping within 5 feet (1.52
meters) of the inside walls of the swimming pool,
spa, or hot tub. For Canada, a 6 AWG or larger solid
copper bonding conductor is required.
9. The pump should be permanently connected to either
a circuit breaker, 2-pole timer or 2-pole relay. If AC
power is supplied by a GFCI circuit breaker, use a
dedicated circuit breaker that has no other electrical
loads.
10. IMPORTANT: When connecting the pump to an
automation system (IntelliTouch
SunTouch Control Systems and IntelliComm
®
Communication Centers), continuous power must be
supplied to the pump by connecting it directly to the
circuit breaker. When using an automation system,
be sure that no other lights or appliances are on the
same circuit.
