    Can anyone please help me wire this pump? I can't make heads or tales of where to put the Black and White wires. I know the Ground/Green will go where the G is, but after that I am lost!

    Any help would be awesome!!! I am not even close to an electrician so please explain it to me so I can understand it.....

    Thanks So Much!!!

    That is pretty odd that the terminals aren't labeled. There isn't any labels like L1 or N or anything like that on there?

    Are the screws gold and silver? If so the white goes to silver and black to gold

    I think I figured it out....I contacted the guy I bought it from....Thanks Everyone!!!
    FYI...Green went on the left....then white then black on the bottom screws in the middle. No particular order for black or white!

    Thanks Again!!!

    That is correct. It's an AC motor. Polarity makes no difference.
