Your pool control system must be capable of handling a two speed motor. You'll have to go to the manual to determine connections for your specific motor and controller. You can't effectively use a two speed motor if your control system is not designed and programmed for such a motor.
The six wire motor is probably a two speed or a dual voltage motor. Look on the underside of the motor's junction box. Here is where the wiring diagram of the motor is pasted. Look on the motor's name plate to see if it is a two speed motor. There will be two sets of amps and RPM and maybe voltages. It could be that six terminals are brought out to terminal box so that it can be connected either in delta or star configuration. As stated above the name plate details would indicate the correct connection.
Replace with single speed of the same electrical, speed, and mechanical considerations for mounting, choosing the preferred speed from the existing two speed. In general it is common practice especially in the HVAC industry to replace a three speed motor with a four speed motor, using only three of the speeds that match the existing. Replacement must be with a single speed of the same horsepower, torque, and other electrical considerations of the needed or preferred two speed choice of speeds. Often the choice of speed, changes the horsepower or torque.
SOME ONLY HAVE 2 WIRES SOME HAVE THREE.. THE 2 WIRE IS GRAVY .. THE 3 WIRE THE ONE I THINK YOU HAVE IS EASY TOO THE TWO YELLOW GO TO ONE POST THE RED OR WHITE WIR GO ON THE OTHER POST
A 60Hz synchronous motor spins at synchronous speed - if it's a two pole motor it will spin at exactly 1800 rpms. An asynchronous motor will spin at a speed lower than the power supply frequency - a symilar asynchronous motor may spin at 1700 rpms.
No. If the motor runs backwards, swap any two phases to reverse the rotation, like this: Old wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T1 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T2 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3 New wiring: phase A - brown wire - motor lead T2 phase B - yellow wire - motor lead T1 phase C - orange wire - motor lead T3

There are many types of winding on a two speed three phase motor. The number of wires from the motor should have been stated. This is a guess that the motor is a six lead. The diagram is for a six lead out two speed, one winding, single voltage constant horsepower motor.See sources and related link below
A 3-speed fan switch with 4 wires typically has the following wiring diagram: one wire for power supply, one wire for the fan motor, and two wires for the different speed settings. It is important to consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific details on how to properly wire the switch.
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
Normaly pool pumps have only one speed " flat out" unless you have a two speed pump.

A speed pulse wire might refer to the speedometer pulse wire that accepts pulse signals in order to display speed. This wire is generally a two wire sender unit that comes pre-calibrated to the vehicle.Ê

The simplest synchronous motor has two leads which must be connected to the live and neutral of the correct supply voltage as marked on the motor.
I am guessing that what you are talking about is a two speed motor. The motor should have 6 wires coming out of it. There are two complete sets of three phase windings for each speed. Look on the motor name plate for the wire numbers or sometimes on the inside of the motor junction box. A 2 speed 6 lead motor should have the following markings, 1U 1V 1W for slow 2U 2V 2W for fast. Also check for the two different amp draws for each winding. These types of motors should be run from a reversing type contactor assemble so that individual overloads can be used on each of the high speed windings and on the low speed windings.
