What I suspect may be at issue is the wire. Shurflo requires jacketed cable (10 or 12 AWG) of a particulat dimensional range. The issue is that few suppliers carry the right cable. It's a Code issue - any pump with a metal case requires an equipment bonding
conductor (silly, I know) which means three conductors, which won't fit in the cable gland. Having a nonconductive plastic case, the 9300 only needs two conductors, will only fit two conductors, and no pump or electrical supply house carries two-conductor
cable because nothing they sell uses it. Sort of a catch-22.<br>
<br>
Also, using unjacketed (yellow) multiconductor cable is a guaranteed way to get water into the motor.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. <br>
