What should the voltage be on my pool pump?
One of the first places where pool owners want to look to determine their voltage is the motor label. Yes, the label on your motor lists the voltage. However, that is the voltage for the motor, not necessarily your pool. Let us explain. Manufactures make motors 115V, 230V, or 115/ 230V.
Which is better 115v or 230V pool pump?
Manufactures make motors 115V, 230V, or 115/ 230V. So, if your motor lists one specific voltage, it’s safe to go with that. However, if you have a dual speed motor, one compatible with both 115V AND 230V, then you’re back to square one. Of course, there are other ways you can determine which voltage you are using.
What’s the voltage on a 115 volt pump?
WARNINGFOR DUAL VOLTAGE MOTORS (115/230 V)- Voltage change instructions are located on the wiring access cover and in this manual. s ! NOTICEThe motor voltage is factory set at 230 V. s ! WARNINGRISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK • Have an electrician provide electrical power to motor.
Can a 1 hp motor be rewired to run at 120 volts?
Switching a motor between 240 and 120 volts In North America, many single phase motors motors in the range of 1 hp to 2 hp can be rewired to run at either 120 volts or 240 volts (or 115 vs 230 volts, it depends on what voltage is assumed “nominal”).

What kind of motor does a pool pump use?
Single-speed and dual-speed motors are air-cooled, requiring adequate space around the motor for cooling. Variable speed motors use neodymium rare earth magnets that maintain their polarity, allowing them to run just as efficiently the day it was installed all throughout the life of the VS motor.
Which is the best variable speed pool pump?
Hayward ® variable-speed pumps are the most energy efficient pumps on the market and deliver huge energy savings from one season to the next—just two reasons we’ve been named EPA ENERGY STAR ® Partner of the Year. Read on to learn more and find the right VS pump for you.
