Electrical Connections

Electrical Connections
• Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage other than that shown.
• Be certain that this pump is connected to a circuit equipped with a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) device if required by code.
• The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other electric receptacles or
equipment in the circuit.
• The fuses or circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
• If a fused-type plug is used on 230 V units, a 5.0 amp fuse is recommended.
Models with Stripped Wire Ends
Some models are supplied with a stripped wire cord end. Power connections must be made within a
junction box, and must comply with the National Electrical Code. Wires are color coded as follows:
• Green/yellow = Ground; Brown = Line; Blue = Line (230 V) or Neutral (115 V)
Manual Pump Models
Manual pumps are plugged into a dedicated GFCI receptacle
and are controlled by either by switching the power or by
unplugging the cord.
Manual pumps can be converted to automatic mode by
installing a separate liquid level control. Install according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
Automatic Pump Models
Models with a float switch or remote diaphragm switch
include two power cords with a piggyback plug on the switch
cord.
For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the switch
cord. Then plug the switch cord into a GFCI outlet.
