![]() Turn the power off at the breaker before testing!! Likewise, you cannot hook it up so that it's lifefspan will be reduced. The pump is AC so you cannot make it run backwards by reversing the leads. Neither of the pump leads should read much continuity to ground, but will register a hundred ohms or so between each wire. The ground wire from the pump will read low resistance to ground. ![]() Use an ohmmeter, and check for continuity (low resistance) between the ground of the pressure switch and each pump wire. Re: wiring submersible pump - what wires are what ? I am taking for granted if I wire it wrong the pump will run backwaerds ? maybe shortening the life span ? I am told the pump is submerged about 140 feet and I really hate to pull the pump to figure out what wire is what. Coming out of the pump are 3 wires but they are all the same color - is there anyway possible to determine what wire is what without pulling the pump. The problem - when they installed the submersible pump, they used 12 gauge wire but it is not color coded, so I have no idea what wire is what. I marked the wires going from the pressure switch to the control box and the fuse box, but did not mark the wires coming from the pump as it was lying outside. The system is a submersible pump, a pressure tank with a pressure switch and a control box. Wanting to hook my well back up since we are in the high 90's and my yard is screaming for water, it turns out I did not mark the wires as well as I should have as I did not think it would be months later when i was hooking it back up. Contractor turned out to be really messed up and a few months later the siding is still not up and I fired the contractor. Was getting new siding on my garage and I disconnected the wiring to my well. Wiring submersible pump - what wires are what ?
