THANK YOUI!!!! I was running it at 120v and was wondering why the thermal overload was activating. Then I read the directions - oops! This video helped me figure out what had to be done, and now my Polaris cleaner is happily doing its job.
Thank you very much for your help! The key to me was your revelation that the two wires are INTERCHANGEABLE!! That solved all my worries. Appreciate your assistance.
Oh you're very welcome kind sir I like your note about the revelation I leave my revelations in I know sometimes it makes me look slow or whatever but I know other people are going through the same thing you should see my Revelation on this the vacuum let this pump is attached to when I figured that out that was funny but thank you for your reply brother I'm glad it was have helped you have a blessed day
Great video. Bought a new Polaris pump and I must have missed the manual note that is was factory shipped for 220. switched the wires to 115 and it run great.
I had mirrored the old pump wires but it was set to low voltage. (Humming) I watched your video and switched the white and black wires and now it’s running like a champ! Ty For that! OoRah!
@@wanesweb So if it's "set" for 220V, and only 110 is coming in (only one of the lines has power,) will it only humm then? That's what mine is doing...
Thanks Wayne. I made the same assumption about the 115 vs. 230. These pumps are prewired to high voltage. The pool techs in Fort Worth wanted $875 to install this $230 pump. DIY!

Wayne,,, sorry,, but you are going at this backwards. This motor can run on single phase 120V (low voltage) or two phase 240V (high voltage). You make that decision FIRST. THEN you connect the wires according to your decision. You should be basing that decision on whether you have two phase 240V available or not. Typically if you have 240V available then it is the better choice for performance and (slightly!) lower power consumption. Single phase 120V is usually second choice, but offered since some installations do not have a 2 phase circuit available for the pool equipment. If you are going to run it on 120V, then you move the internal wires to match the low voltage diagram, and then attach the line and neutral as shown to posts 1 and 6 (it doesn't matter as 1 and 6 can be reversed) and attach ground to the green post. A ground wire should also be attached to the external copper ground connection. If you are going to run it on 240V, then you move the internal wires to match the high voltage diagram, and then attach phase 1 and phase 2 as shown to posts 1 and 6 (again, it doesn't matter which is on 1 or 6) and attach the neutral to the green post. The ground is attached to the external copper ground connection. Usually manufacturers send a pump to you ready for High Voltage as it is safer to connect low voltage by accident. The reverse scenario would risk damage as a motor configured for low voltage to be accidently connected to 240V and then burning it out. Larry
Thank you for doing this video my friend. You never said where does the green go to? Does it go to the green screen that is already in place above and to the right of #1?
I am not sure what green you are referring to however if you look at the green wire the way it is bent you'll see where you can just push it down over the hole and put the screw back in it now if you have taken you hours apart you'll already see where the green wire is the green wire is a ground so it's grounded to the metal of your pump and then on the other end it's grounded to the metal of the electrical box hope that helps and thank you for the compliments on the video it feels good that it's doing something for somebody have a blessed day
Thank you for doing this video! Your voice sounds like Joe Biden's but I won't hold that against ya! Just kidding. A little political humor. Appreciate the video.
Wow I was kind of surprised it all of the comments I finally got on this video and you sir really threw me for a loop I knew this could not be for me I sound like Joe Biden I'm glad you're kidding we got the Press best president we probably ever will have right now but thank you I'm glad it was helpful and you're welcome
I don't quite remember how I found it I'm sure I Googled it I met have taken a picture of it and then done an image search. I also might have started with the motor serial number I think I remember that it actually has a name that white plate I don't remember what the name is you'll figure get out good luck I definitely had to buy a new one no doubt about it
I believe you were right because I remember seeing a place to run a ground wire from the outside of the housing but the ground wire that's connected inside the pump runs up to the ground any electrical connections in the Box which is grounded maybe we're supposed to run another ground wire from the body of the pump to a ground perhaps a metal rod in the ground or something else that is grounded you could probably tell from watching my video I am as new to this has most who are searching I only shared what I learned which was how to understand the wiring diagram on the pump and how to hook it up correctly and how easy it is thanks for your input I appreciate it I love to learn I love to share have a blessed day
@@wanesweb The ground screw is painted green. It is missing from the pump used in this video. See the threaded hole on the upper right, if the pump were viewed on end while sitting on its support. That's where AC ground should be connected with a 3-wire AC input. The body of the pump can be separately grounded using a connector mounted externally on the body of the pump.
The green wire is there in the video if you look closely the way the green wire is shaped you'll see where you can push it down straight down from its position on to a whole in the motor that's where your screw goes into hold it if you take your motor apart you should see where the green wire goes it just needs to be grounded to the frame of the motor and then on the other end is grounded to the frame of the box or attached to a ground wire in the Box now there should also be another ground wire on the outside of the pump I took that wire to a piece of metal and stuck it in the ground

Thank God for RUclips and DIY projects.
Where does the green wire go?
The pool techs in Virginia are just as expensive! Criminal. Thanks Wayne!

Great video thanks for posting and it was hard to find information on this chart
Thanks, this blew my mind until I saw your video, thanks
Thank you so much for this video. I have been stressing over this all day
Thank You Wayne - spot on on the interchangeability - thx for the Help.
I was totally lost. Thank you. 👍🏻

Thank you Wayne - you saved me lots of time!!
Glad to help
I’ve converted the PB 460 Polaris booster pump to 120. Where do the lines coming in go?
So if my wires coming into the pump are red (120v) black (120v) and green (ground) we keep it wired as the high voltage set up correct?
Excellent video/explanation
Thank you Walter for taking the time to let me know it was of use have a blessed day
Thank you Wayne, so if you change to 110v will you change the capacitor also?. anyone?. Thanks.

What do you call that white plate? What if it comes loose? How did you know you needed to replace the capacitor?
Just connect the red green and ground wire where it goes.
I think you have an amazing ability to make something simple even more confusing! lol
Where do you get that white plate for the wiring connections if it breaks?
Google it I believe I found them eBay
I don't quite remember how I found it I'm sure I Googled it I met have taken a picture of it and then done an image search. I also might have started with the motor serial number I think I remember that it actually has a name that white plate I don't remember what the name is you'll figure get out good luck I definitely had to buy a new one no doubt about it
Advantage pump manufacturing has them, I found out.
Should you not have a 3rd wire... common ground. Where does that go?
I believe you were right because I remember seeing a place to run a ground wire from the outside of the housing but the ground wire that's connected inside the pump runs up to the ground any electrical connections in the Box which is grounded maybe we're supposed to run another ground wire from the body of the pump to a ground perhaps a metal rod in the ground or something else that is grounded you could probably tell from watching my video I am as new to this has most who are searching I only shared what I learned which was how to understand the wiring diagram on the pump and how to hook it up correctly and how easy it is thanks for your input I appreciate it I love to learn I love to share have a blessed day

TT12 it goes top right corner on the green ground screw
