Harold:
For your opening post above:
IMHO, I believe that ALL AG pool filters are equipped from the mfg with the required 3' cord, proper size, and a male twistlock plug.
I have seen pump motors with 'cord & plug' that was retrofitted with anything from 16Ga to 12ga cord, some 2 wire, with straight blade plugs. (Red Tage)
Keep in mind these are permanent AG pools, not the 'blow-up' type. That's another nightmare.
