OK, I was able to pull out the pump and see the name plate - 2HP, 230V, 17.2A.It is a Zoller 840 pump and I found out on the internet that was supposed to come with its own control panel but the owner did not know that. The start and run capacitors, relay, alarm, etc are all inside that panel. It is designed to reverse every time it starts to prolong the life on the blades. Owner will buy another pump since a standard control panel is already installed and wired - all it needed was to hook up the floats and feed the pump. This is all cleared now. I do appreicate everybody weighing in to help with a lot of good information.
