Manual starter replacement

Postby Eric1980 » Mon 27 Apr, 2020 12:26

My timer is not installed outside next to my pump. My timer is installed in my house next to
the braker box . So I can't not easily turn on and off the pump when servicing the filter. So it was this ALLEN-BRADLEY 140-MN-1000(https://imgur.com/ZbQXOug) that I used to on/off the pump easily . This manual motor starter is not working anymore. I don't want to buy the same thing , because it's hard to find and expensive.The only reason why it was installed , was because the last owner of the house was an electrician and it was easy for him to find this item at a low cost . What do you recommend me to buy as an alternative to this ?

Thanks , and sorry for my bad english it's not my first language.

Just wire a switch into the pump cable

Hey dennis , thanks for the answer , Yeah I already thought about this idea, but was looking more for something like a "juction" between the pump wires and the electriciy wires that I will be able to put in my waterproof box
