Default Is there a pool pump fitting adapter to stop this incessant leak?

Move the pump: EXTEND the electric and bonding wire as
talked about before, here.


To that end, yesterday I bought the following based on that advice:

I'm not sure about the stranded wire?


He said it's 12 gauge which is fine



Are those wire nuts the size you need? They look small.


Hard to tell from the pic. The wire size combinations they
are good for should be on the package



Bonding wire is a solid, bare copper wire. Did you get some?


I noticed that too. He needs enough to bond the motors back
to the rest of the pool metal, ie keep the existing bond system
intact. Rest of the stuff looks fine.

On another issue, he seems to be having problems removing
the 90 conduit elbow from the motor. From what he's describing,
ie having to rotate the motor to remove it, I'm wondering if instead
of being fastened with a locknut, the motor case has threads in
it and it's actually screwed into the motor case?


The elbow will have the locknut in plain view if it is not threaded.
