Hi all, relatively new pool owner and first time poster here.
When I tried starting my Pentair Dynamo (340104) pump last weekend, the motor wouldn't turn. It just hummed and eventually tripped. After some troubleshooting, I eventually purchased a new pump that arrived today.
My new Pentair Dynamo (340197) pump has the same exact specs as the old pump: 1HP, 115v, 12amp. The only difference, to my disappointment, is the cord. My old pump had a twist-lock cord and the new pump has a standard cord. The receptacle (which is hooked up to a timer) accepts twist lock cords, and it has a label of 125v on it.
Is it possible to rewire my new pump from 115v to 125v?
On the pump label I see "Motor prewired for 115v", and it looks like there are two holes for different cords, which makes me think I can transfer the twist lock cord from my old pump to my new pump.
