New pool pump

[Watermom]

You need to hire a licensed electrician to do this for you. The fact that you are asking these questions is a pretty good indication that you should not do this job yourself. Electricity kills people. You know that. Let a professional who knows what they are doing handle this job. The consequences are just too great to take a chance.

I will tell you that a 1hp pump is too big for your pool. I hope you can take it back and get something that will work better for your pool. I'll let one of our pump experts advise you on a better choice.

Thanks for the reply. I think that is going to be my best option. I guess when I ordered the pump I was under the impression I
could just install the new pump and go. Learning all the time. Thanks again.
