It depends on whether there is available an extra space for the two pole breaker for 240 volts and on the distance away from the distribution panel the well pump is located. You would be able to use a smaller wire size when using the 240 volt connection. My choice would be to use the 240 volt connection.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.
Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

What else can I help you with?
How many amps are needed for a 220V well?
The amount of amperage needed for a 220V well will depend on the wattage of the well pump. To calculate the amperage, divide the wattage of the pump by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage required.
Can you use a 240 volt pool pump on normal house power?
Most typical US residences have both 240 and 120 AC voltage. The pump would have to tie into a 240 volt breaker in your electric panel. To ensure safety have an electrician familiar with pool installations install the wiring and motor/pump and also make sure that the breaker is sized for the motor amperage rating. In many pool installations a separate electric panel will be installed outside near the pump and any pool electric devices.
What size in amperage circuit breaker should be used for a pool pump?
The size of the circuit breaker for a pool pump should be determined by the pump's current draw. The breaker should be sized to accommodate the pump's full load amperage with a 125% safety margin. Most pool pumps typically require a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker.
How many amps should a 220 volt well pump pull?
The amperage a 220 volt well pump will pull depends on the wattage of the pump. You can calculate it by dividing the wattage by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage. For example, a 1 HP well pump typically pulls around 8-10 amps at 220 volts.
How do you connect a 460v 3 phase to a 220v pump?
There are two types of water pumps, submersible and fixed position. Each pump is wired differently from one another. Use the discussion page to state what type of pump you are talking about.
How many amps are needed for a 220V well?
The amount of amperage needed for a 220V well will depend on the wattage of the well pump. To calculate the amperage, divide the wattage of the pump by the voltage (220V) to get the amperage required.
How far can you run a 1.5 hp swimming pool pump on 12 2 with a ground?
12-2 can easily support a 220V 1.5 HP pump out to 200Ft. However you may need a separate #8 ground wire in some states.
Is the AquaCal pool heating pump better or worse than SureTemp's pool heating pump?
I am no heat pump expert, but whatever you do, DO NOT buy a suretemp pool heating pump, as they stop working under 65 degrees. Their web site and literature state 45 degrees, but that is not the truth. I have called them about my new pool heater and they say there is nothing they can do.
Can you replace a shallow well pump with an above ground pool pump and will it have enough suction lift to lift the water 20ft?
Above ground pool pumps are made to sit at or below the water level, not to pull water up. If placed above the water level, or away from the pool-side they will not circulate the water properly and may not even prime. For your well, a better option is to go for an in-ground pool pump - or better still, purchase a pump made for your particular application.
Why does pool pump not pump?
is it on
How can I efficiently pump water out of a pool?
To efficiently pump water out of a pool, you can use a submersible pump or a pool pump with a hose attachment. Place the pump at the lowest point in the pool and connect the hose to a drainage area. Turn on the pump to remove the water quickly and effectively.
How do you get better circulation in an in-ground pool that has no main drain?
You may try a suction side pool cleaner. Connects into the skimmer. No booster pump needed. Pool Vac, Kreepy Krauly are but a few.
What size pool pump should I choose for my swimming pool?
When choosing a pool pump for your swimming pool, consider the size of your pool and the flow rate needed for proper circulation. It is recommended to select a pump that can circulate the entire volume of your pool in 6-8 hours. Consult with a pool professional to determine the appropriate size pump for your specific pool size and needs.
A pool light has a gfic that keeps popping the pump is wired for 220v on the same feed Light works wired with out gfic and gfic has been replaced Could the gfic pop from 220v or is the pool light bad?
From your description, it sound as if the wiring is incorrect and either the neutral or the hot wire is being shared incorrectly. This causes the GFCI to measure a residual current and trip. Go back and verify that the hot and neutral wires are not shared with any other circuit.
What is the most efficient method for removing water from a pool using a pool water removal pump?
The most efficient method for removing water from a pool using a pool water removal pump is to position the pump at the lowest point in the pool, connect a hose to the pump, and then turn on the pump to suction out the water. This method allows for the water to be quickly and effectively removed from the pool.
Do pool pump make a griding noise when running?
there is probably something in the pool that got into the pump
What size pump do I need for my pool?
To determine the size of the pump you need for your pool, calculate the volume of your pool in gallons and choose a pump that can circulate the entire volume in 8 hours.
