Hi there,
I'm installing my new Waterway single speed pump and am not sure which terminal to wire my Live wire to. I'm guessing that the common connection for a 2 speed setup is where I take my Neutral to,but I have 2 other terminals to take the Live connection to. Any ideas?
Cheers
Howie

be sure you use a 240V pump, wire just the same way as in the U.S.

Thanks, the problem is that on the diagram that came with the pump there is an illustration of 2 black wires and a ground. I know where to connect the ground but not sure which terminals to conect my uk colour coded neutral (Blue wire) and Live (Brown wire) to.

it's still single phase, so shouldn't matter, but the proper way is to connect the blue to the L2 and the brown to L1
