Fairly simple question. Have everything hooked up on the Aqua Rite Panel, just need to connect to my timer box. Don't really 'know a guy' I can double check with.

Green Wire goes into the ground block, separate bare Copper conductor goes to the bottom of the panel (bonding loop)...just want to confirm where the black and red go. Can I just cram them into the line terminal there?

You should not have more then two wires under one screw. Especially with high amp devices like pumps.

Proper technique is to take the 3 wires from the pump, pump timer, and SWG and wire nut them together with a short pigtail. Attach the pig tail to the LINE scews.

:ROFLMAO: they even did the WIRING wrong on the install...Man, it's crazy this pool lasted as long as it did.

So things are muddied because of this freeze protection box wiring. Does it look like I can just remove the two black wires from the line terminal, pigtail them with the SWG wire as well as a fourth wire, and screw down the fourth wire into the wire terminal? And then do the same with the red wires?

Looks to me like the SWG should be connected to these two screws which each have two wires...
