Guys,

While I am at replacing the breaker, a lot of pool owners suggested I install a surge protector. This is what they recommend below. There are a few ways to install it. I am looking at installing directly onto the breakers that are used for the pump. So, I just hook the black wires to the breakers (one wire to each breaker of the 2 pole, the wire will meet up with the hot wire) and the white wire to the neutral bus?

Do you still have the pool pump install instructions or can source on the internet? This will be about your best source for info (manufacturer's recommendations).

You need two levels of protection (IMO), one at the breaker box (lightning strike- utility company surges) and one at the device (akin to surge strips for the Computer/TV) being protected (transient surges).

The pump is so old that I don't know what brand (no label). I saw the PS3000 when I was searching. Perhaps a better fit since it can be installed at the device area. The one I ordered might be to big near at the panel box.
