Some models require 230/208-volt a.c.,protected with a time
delay fuse or circuit breaker.These models should be installed
on their own single branch circuit for best performance and to
prevent overloading house or apartment wiring circuits,which
could cause a possiblefire hazard from overheating wires.

keep the existing well case, you may need a kit to ensure
proper performance. If you DO NOT use a kit, you run the
risk of poor performance or product failure. This is not

replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances,
