For single phase motors, if it draws 10 amps @120 volts, it draws 5 amps @
240. The circuit breaker will cost a whole lot more for 240 volt (GFCI), but
I'd go with the higher voltage to keep the pool service more evenly divided

I am installing an inground pool. the contractor is doing the basic
wiring bonding etc....The filter and control panel can be wired 220,
but pool guy says 110 is ok. The real electrician says he thinks it
should be 220....case closed in my mind, but he said it could be done
110, but it will reduce my electric bill if it is 220. Does anyone have
an opinion...am I saving pennies or dollars if I go 220....thx
