I have a Jandy Aquapure EI(plug in version) arriving today. I have no outlet at my pump pad. Where should I wire in an outlet? Can I tie into the Intermatic timer box, or should I somehow tap into the breaker box? Thanks for any help.

jblizzle said:Based on those wire colors ... your pump appears to be 230V ... so neither of those are "negative" {I think you mean "neutral" when talking about 115V}
So if you SWG is only 115V, you may have to run a neutral from the panel (if there is not one already) and then power the SWG off EITHER the 2 or 4 terminal. EDIT: But honestly I am not sure if that is a good idea as it would result is mismatched current through the 2 LINES coming from the pump breaker.
One is labeled GFCI, it runs over to my Koi pond.Bama Rambler said:The first thing I notice is that I don't see any gfci breakers in that panel.
You shouldn't tie the neutral wire of the swg into the ground wires in the timer. You could run a neutral from the panel to the timer box and run it that way.
That is probably just saying it has a GFCI outlet on that circuit. None of your breakers are GFCIgullzway said:One is labeled GFCI, it runs over to my Koi pond.
It just is Granted it would work, but that would not be correct or to code. It could result in engerizing all the ground wires.gullzway said:Why would tying into the ground of the timer(which comes straight from the neutral bar in the breaker box,) be any different from running another wire to the neutral bar?
