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.

>> 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

>> 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

>> This pump has two ways to wire it inside the cover plate which they call
