220v for pump and use Twist-Lock plug?

[gb99]

I live in the Northeast and like to put away the pool pump for the winter when we get below freezing weather and lots of snow.

If the 220v pump circuit is gfci-protected and the twist-lock receptacle has a large bubble cover to protect the plug from the weather, is that ok? I prefer this set up rather than hardwiring so I can remove the pump with ease.

Thanks

You’ll also need to disconnect the bond wire and cap the plumbing to avoid water intrusion.

I’d think a cover over the equipment might be an easier option.

Good points. The bonding wire comes off all of the equipment each Fall and gets reinstalled each April. I’ve added valves and unions to cap the plumbing.
