I am replacing my pool pump and just want to be sure I wired this correctly. I think my old pump was 120v and set my new pump to 120 as well. Both say they can be either 220/120.

My old pump is a pentiar superflo.

Here is the old pump with the old wiring setup and the wiring diagram from the pump.

And here is how I wired my new pump a Hayward super pump

btw i think i figured it out. the bottom picture I set it to 110 not 220. the old pump based on the pictures is set to 220.

Maybe test the voltage with a VOM? They can be had for less than $10 (http://www.amazon.com/Digital-VOLT-Meter-Voltmeter-Multimeter/dp/B005EK3NRS/) and are an invaluable tool for any homeowner.

Please tell me that the metal flex I see in the last photo is a TEMPORARY hookup:

and that you are going to replace it with some type of LT conduit or UF cable!

Did you look close at the before picture? I know my electrical inspector would fail the original and the new BX.

Yeah, I saw that. But I figured that's the past. It's the present . . . and that metal flex that worries me.
