The 4 relays under the glove box of your 2003 Pontiac Vibe are Inv Relay (Inverter), P-Point (Fuel Pump), Htr (Heater Control Relay), and Tail (Tail lights). The Inverter is responsible for the 110v outlet, the Fuel Pump relay is responsible for supplying the fuel pump with power, the Heater Control Relay controls the power flow to the heater, and the Tail relay activates the tail lights when the headlights are activated.
Unlikely it will be quite as efficient on 110v.
I imagine the run winding is in two halves and when wired for 110v they will be in parallel and when wired for 220v they will be in series.
If that is so, the current consumed at 110v will be about double that at 220v and so the power output should be similar
I am not a motor expert but I imagine there is a fair few wires needing to be swapped around with a dual voltage motor and care must be taken to ensure the current flows through each winding in the correct direction so it will run in the right direction and even run at all...
the trigger activates a switch that activates the solenoid. You can test the solenoid with leads it will click if it is working with 110v leads. Warning the pump is not 110v is is 12v it has a rectifier in the machine.
Check to make sure that the pot lid o-ring is in place.
Verify that your plumbing is sound and has no suction leak.
Check water level in pool.
Make sure the voltage is correct. Many pumps come pre-wired for 220v. If you have 110v supplying the motor it will run at half speed. There is a diagram on the side of the motor showing how to convert to 110V. Make sure that your supply is 110v before converting the motor. If you switch the motor to run on 110v and hook it up to 220v it will ruin the motor instantly.
Did you check if it was a 110V machine before you purchased it??
USA appliances are 110V so good chance by plugging it in in Australia's 240V electricity supply without putting a voltage adapter between you've fried it.
Check the plate on the machine beside the power in point - if it says 110V then you are going to have to buy an adapter (try **** Smith) to use this machine in Australia. However, if you saw sparks then good chance you've fried something already in the machine.
There are a very few quality machines that were made with Dual Voltage such as some of the Elna Stellas and they have a switch in the base of the machine to switch. But certainly not all and you can assume that most appliances coming from USA would be made for 110V power supply only.
Sounds like you may have a 220V pump. So you need to confirm that this is a 110V pump and not a 220V pump. There should be a label or more info on line with any other info on the label. If you can confirm that this is a 110V pump, then put a standard plug on the cord - the green is ground and the other two can be wired to either blade of the plug. If you do have a 220V pump and you connect it to 110V anyway, the pump will perform poorly and will probably overheat and fail.
