Learned another thing today. Now I just need to remember it. Thanks Adam.
Hey Adam, I believe you and my wife are the last two folks remaining that speak Latin

Adam, you are absolutely correct with both translations. In order to save face I must confess that I overcame the affliction of practicing law over 35 years ago and my memory and spelling abilities have declined exponentially.

Just a thought: what if you reversed the wires and made the motor go backwards. Some times a small piece of junk gets in and locks the impeller.

Mike, the tiny amount of Latin I know is only due to my medical background (including a couple of depositions as an expert witness-my favorite moment was two attorneys arguing an arcane point of law and one saying to the other "res ipsa loquitur, counselor, res ipsa loquitur!")
Lawson, no face saving needed-I'm happy I still remember how to tie my shoes

Reversing the leads doesn’t make the pump run backwards. 2 wire positive and ground. Reverse leads for positive grounding.
