    Default Did I wire this correctly? just changed out my pump....

    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

    on my new pump i have the white neutral to L1 and the black hot wire to L2 I assume that is correct....

    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 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.
