And apparently they now don’t require twist lock. A straight plug is acceptable.

Dual speed pump here Friday. Electrician will come check it out anyway. He said the 116 when pump is off is weird.

Thanks. I sent the electrician a message. Something is giving me a tingle. As I stated earlier, Finger in skimmer it tingles. Wife shuts off pump using switch on pump, tingle stops.

appreciate the reply. Why do you think i'm going to feel a tingle with the new pump?

May do that if new pump doesn’t fix it. What else could it be? Thing is, 1-2 years ago due to seal leak And corrosion I considered a new pump. Electricity is 10.9 cents/kWh here. Both good reasons to snag the dual speed I found on sale (same pump I posted but different source).

I plan on switching over my chord from the current pump.

When I google “neutral to ground leakage” most pages say under 2 is normal. Some say 3v. Regardless, I ordered a pump last night.

Am I wrong in thinking this? Doesn’t seem like stray voltage from other than the pump is an issue.

Corrosion most likely? Ordered a new two speed pump.

At least I know it’s from the pump. When pump is off, no tingle.

I hear you! I like simple. At 10.9 cents/kwh, seems a dual speed is a good choice.

So I can use the same timer I have now, and whichever selection I have selected on the pump (high vs low), that is what it will run at. correct? and one more: Last year when I looked at pumps, my local installer advised that a low speed (two speed) pump can NOT be used with a sand filter. Is...

Why is the timer difference if I just run it on low speed twice a day?

Right now I run the single speed twice a day. 2 hours one period and 5 hours another.

Forgot about this. Sounds like new pump https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/leaking-pump.170981/

Considering two speed 1.5 https://www.amazon.com/Hayward-SP15932S-PowerFlo-Dual-Speed-Above-Ground/dp/B002KMIKYO

Currently have a Hayward powerflo MatriX SP1516-Z-1-ESC 1.5 HP 3450 RPM 115v On my 30’ round radiant. Also has a mechanical timer. Recommendations for two speed pump? Do I need a different timer?

Theoretically as long as the pump is unplugged it should be safe.

One other thing. Stupid I know. Set meter to ohms. Touched one probe to bonding wire and one to the hot. Tripped the breaker.

See above.

Will do and post back. Forgot to post there is a timer also. Figured that’s standard but better post that detail.

And yes it has a wire nut

No corrosion noted. 116v (earlier said 113) when touching black wire and bonding copper that goes to skimmer.

We did have a seal leak last year that caused some corrosion.

Tested twist lock outlet and it has 113v. Turned off breaker in the basement and it’s dead. Reset and it’s 113. Hit TEST aim the same breaker and it’s dead. Checking pump connections now. On the right track?
