New pump - Wiring connector

[Alberto]

Hi all,
I need to replace my Hayward pump with a new one of the same model. I have a question regarding the wiring connector.
During the winter, I’d like to store the pump inside the garage, but I want to avoid having to open it up and disconnect the wiring each time. Currently, it uses a standard coupling conduit fitting.
I was considering replacing it with a weatherproof, aviation-style “plug-and-play” connector to make removal and reinstallation easier.
Has anyone implemented a solution like this, or found a reliable connector setup that works well in this context (weatherproof, 15A rated on each pole)?


This is the old pump with the broken connector:

I would install a 240vac outlet with a water proof cover. Make a pigtail to the pump.

Check to see what the electrical code allows. But there are a number or waterproof options available, just a question of how much do you want to spend. My pump has a longer than it should be cable with a plug. The receptacle has a weather proof in-use cover. This would work too 320P6WLEV and 320C6WLEV.
