Hello and welcome to the NGO Pools how-to guide section. In this video, we will talk about how to wire a pool pump. Pool pumps can be wired to run on either 230 volts or 115 volts. Most pool pumps are set to run on 230 volts at the manufacturer. If you are going to wire your own pool pump, you must first determine the voltage coming to your pump from the house's circuit breaker. Additionally, you must ensure that the electrical supply matches the motor's voltage, phase, and cycle, and that all electrical wiring conforms to local codes and NEC regulations. If you are unsure about the voltage or unfamiliar with electrical codes and regulations, it is recommended to have a professional electrician wire your pump or at least check your work. Failure to wire the pump correctly can cause electrical shock, damage to the pool pump motor, and void your warranty. To begin, you need to measure the voltage on the wires going to your pool pump. You can use a multimeter to test the pool pump motor voltage. The voltage will either be 230 to 240 volts or 115 to 120 volts. Pool pump manufacturers commonly label these as 230V or 115V. Usually, there will be three wires coming to your pump. For 230 volts, you will have a red wire, a black wire, and a green wire. The red and black wires are both hot, and there is no neutral wire. The green wire is always the ground. For 115 volts, the three wires are generally black (hot), white (neutral), and green (ground). Before you start wiring your pool pump, you need to turn off all power to the pump at the breaker. Unscrew the two screws holding the cover over the back end of the motor and remove it...
