Efficient quiet rugged single and two speed pool pumps.
Pool pump amperage.
Sizing the circuit wiring for a pool pump.
From industry standard single speed pumps to energy efficient variable speed pumps all delivering powerful reliable performance.
A typical above ground pool pump will require a 20 amp breaker and use 12 gauge wire.
Wiring a pool pump.
Will there be one circuit or more circuits.
Pumps will only draw as many amps as are required.
A pump s horsepower determines how quickly the pump can process all the water.
Yes the label on your motor lists the voltage.
Identify the pool equipment.
It is constructed of corrosion resistant reinforced thermoplastic.
What is the size of the pump and the amperage and voltage circuit requirements.
Here are some factors that must be considered to properly determine the circuit wiring for a pool pump and pool equipment.
Inground pool pumps are commonly reversible in voltage with the exception of pumps 2hp or greater which require 220v.
You need to know this for two reasons.
Superflo pumps feature thick walled body parts a heavy duty 56 square flange motor and highly engineered hydraulics superflo pumps silent running capability and small footprint allow it to easily drop into a compact equipment pad.
One is so you can know what size breaker is needed at the electric box and the other so you know what size of wire to run to the pool s pump.
One of the first places where pool owners want to look to determine their voltage is the motor label.
The everbilt 1 5 hp pool pump is designed the everbilt 1 5 hp pool pump is designed for use with permanently installed above ground and in ground swimming pools.
Whether you are replacing your pump upgrading your motor or replacing your pool light bulb at some point you will absolutely need to know if you have 115v or 230v.
Amperage is the amount of electricity that runs through the electric wires.
Your pump motor label.
The 115 230 volt single phase motor is factory preset at 230 volts.
A pool pump motor which is drawing half the amps listed on its nameplate can indicate a problem with the windings or a lack of incoming current.
