Does it matter how they are wired. I'm used to seeing black black, white white. I mean it works and I wired it back that way. Just curious.

it will work fine, just looks like a plumber hooked it up.

Color to color makes it easier not to tie the two lines on the same switch.

Thought maybe Rex was going AC/DC....:laughing:

I thought it was black white white black

Me too. That's how I wired mine.

Looks right to me. One side is the line side, and the other is the load side that is connected when it needs power.

Rex, you even put the wires on in the right direction under the screws!:clap:

That was the before photo. I changed the tank and all the other parts.

But yeah, I did it the same way on the new one.

Is this 120 volts or 220 volts? You can see that the contacts bridge the the two left terminals together and the two right terminals together. Line1-load1 - Line2-load2


If 120 volts it will work but code-wise wrong. Should be black - black and white-white.

If 220 volts no problem. But I would still connect it as black-black and white-white.

Not sure what voltage it is.

The guys tank was leaking so I replaced the tank and all the other components.

I wasn't there for a no water call so I didn't dig into it.

The wiring just didn't seem normal.

Thanks for the responses :thumbsup:
