In this video, Mark breaks down the differences between wiring your pool pump, whether your electric supply is 110v or 220v. It is very important to know what your hook up is before wiring the pump to properly match your voltage.

@4woodberg 11 ай бұрын

Thanks Mark for the great video! I've got a 220V pump with electrical coming underground to the "pump house". It's 3 wires coming in, so two hots (red/black) and a ground (hopefully - this is a white). Is there a way to tie into this supply for a new 110V receptacle? I understood from your video that there are two 110V supplies to choose from, but I get lost a bit when thinking about tying in because of the lack of a neutral coming in. Appreciate any help!

@HallmarkPoolSupplies 11 ай бұрын

I would recommend that you test the supply line with a volt meter, this way you will know what you have. Usually green is ground and neutral is white, if you are trying to go 110V you will need a neutral. If you are not sure on the hook up you can always contact an electrician. Thanks for watching.

Hi Mark, my issue goes a little bit deeper. On the back of the white plate where you switch from 115 to 230, there are two female molex type pin connectors; one is brown and the other is black. That whole part got fried because of a poor installation and water constantly getting into that section, until it started a small electrical fire. Then it kicked the breaker and extinguished. Anyway, I'm replacing that white base plate and don't know which color goes where on the receiving male pins. Any help is appreciated.

It depends if you have 110V or 220V, you need to confirm the voltage on each wire before doing so. If you are 220V, you need two hot wires and a ground. If you are 110V, you need one hot wire, a neutral and a ground. Thanks for watching.

@HallmarkPoolSupplies Жыл бұрын

Most motors can be converted from 110v to 220v, However when you wire your motor it has to be wired in accordance to the feed coming in. If you don’t know if you are high voltage or low voltage, then you can use a volt meter. If you want to change the feed you can but it also depends on the type of pump you have (single speed , dual speed, or variable speed) you would want to talk to an electrician, if not, work with what you have.

But when I opened up the back of the motor, I noticed that the motor was set to 230V!!! I did save the original (to us since we moved into the house) motor and it ALSO was set to 230V!

@@HallmarkPoolSupplies Hooked to the disconnected wires leading into the motor. I have a black, white and ground wire. Meter hooked to the black wire and ground = 125V. White to ground gives 0V; which tells me it's neutral. The internal motor temp safety switch trips. I measured the outer casing to be 280F. The actual 20Amp circuit breaker does NOT pop unless I hook up the motor to the 115V setting. Logic tells me that when the new motor comes in, I should set it to 115V. But then why was this current motor and the previous one set to 230V? Seems like someone installed incorrectly and the motor is struggling due to half the voltage. But then I wouldn't have thought that the motor would last 5 years.
