Nobody asked you the most important question. Is your pump motor
240/120 convertible? Most are with a simple swap of a jumper under the

Generally speaking I would say you can do this if it is 1HP or less.
Probably not if it is 1.5HP. I bet you have 14ga wire going out there
(15a). This will need to be GFCI protected.


I can't imagine why he would want to switch it from 240 to 120.


So that he won't have to pull a new cable, of course.

There is that, but he'd probably have to pull one anyway to handle
twice the current.
