I bought an Aqua Coastal Champion 56-frame pool pump from Interpools.com
here in Toronto for a 16x32' in ground pool. It is made by
Waterwayplastics.com in Oxnard, CA. It is 1.0 h.p self priming and says it
has 115/230 option although on the boxes sticker "110AC" is written in a
couple places. I write all this because I am a duffus. The wiring I have
going to the pool pump has a black wire, a white wire, and a green (or
ground) wire, coming from an electrrician installed (probly req'd by
Canadadian code) CFCI throw attached to the main fuse box running
underground inside.
This pump has two ways to wire it inside the cover plate which they call
"Low Voltage" or "High Voltage". There are only two internal connectors,
plus a third for ground. For Low it is one way for High it is the reverse.
They are labelled "White" and "Brown". Which way do I wire it? Is this
enough information? The store so far: nada.

Crikey: If you have to ask this sort of question and by own admission
is a "duffus" then don't go at it!
Especially for a pool installation where a fault could be a fatal.
Get an electrician who really knows what they are doing and will
ensure proper grounding and GFCI operation.
Also there are aspects of legal and insurance liability.
Stores probably hope they are selling something that is 'plug and
play'; but there can always be technical circumstances not noticed by
the unitiated that make something not safe.
Safest in my opinion would be TO NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE
POOL PLUGGED IN WHILE POOL IS IN USE!
But someone could always forget!!!!!

This is the twentieth year everything has been done safely by us, but its a
new pump, I believe there is probably enough information, if not tell me.
There are only two ways to plug it in, and by duffus, I am stating I don't
know why, but the fact that there is and always has been only a white wire
and a balck witre, plus ground leads me to believe it that this is the key
to the solution. Its unthinkable that the store can't tell me whivh wire
goes where. Nothing needs to be wired. It just needs to be plugged in.
Pls.

It's unthinkable that the wiring for the pool has to be done by a licensed
electrician and now you want to change a permanently wired pump and not need
an electrician! If you don't know how get an expert. Safer and legal.

You wire it for whatever voltage you have. If you have 230 volts, use the
high voltage and for 115 use the low voltage connection. You need to find
out what voltage is comming to the pump on the black and white wires.
