RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION.
This booster pump must be installed by a licensed or certified electrician or a qualified pool service profes-
sional 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 the booster pump to an AC
power source:
1. Turn off all electrical breakers and
switches before wiring the motor.
2. Connect bonding wire to the bonding
lug. Be sure to connect the ground wire
to the ground (green) screw.
3. Be sure 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 feet
(30.5 m) and #10 AWG for lengths
longer than 100 feet (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. Be sure 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 feet (30.5
m) and #10 AWG for lengths longer
than 100 feet (30.5 m). Use the correct
conductor size and type specified by
the National Electrical Code. Be sure
the ground conductor is connected to
an electrical service ground.
8. Bond the motor to the pool structure in
accordance with the National Electric
Code. UL requires use of a solid cop-
per bonding conductor not smaller than
8 AWG (8.4 mm
9. Connect the solid copper bonding con-
ductor on the motor to all metal parts
of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub
structure and to all electrical equip-
ment, metal conduit, and metal piping
within 5 feet (1.5 m) of the inside walls
of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
For Canada a 6 AWG or larger copper
bonding conductor is required.
