RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.

This booster pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool service professional in

accordance with the current 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 pool users, installers, or others due to

electrical shock, and may also cause damage to property.

Always disconnect power to the booster pump at the circuit breaker before servicing the pump. Failure to do so could result in death or

serious injury to service professionals, pool users or others due to electric shock.

Connecting to a Power Source

1. Turn off all electrical breakers and

switches before wiring the motor.

2. Connect bonding wire to the bonding lug.

Connect the ground wire to the green

ground screw.

3. Ensure the wiring voltage is 230 VAC

or 115 VAC ± 10%. Permanent motor

damage will occur if wiring voltage does

not match.

4. Use #12 AWG for wiring up to 100 ft.

(30.5 m) and #10 AWG for lengths

longer than 100 ft. (30.5 m). If needed,

use a heavier gauge (larger diameter)

conductor. A heavier gauge will allow the

motor to run cooler and more efficiently.

5. Ensure all electrical connections are

clean and tight.

6. Cut the conductors to the appropriate

length so they do not overlap or touch

when connected to the terminal board.

7. Permanently ground the motor using the

green ground terminal. Use #12 AWG

for wiring up to 100 ft. (30.5 m) and #10

AWG for lengths longer than 100 ft. (30.5

m). Use the correct conductor size and

type specified by the National Electrical

Code. Ensure the ground conductor is

connected to an electrical service ground.
