What is the reason you want to change? 220 is not only stronger ... it is cheaper to run. If wiring is a problem, (this pump should be on its own circuit) simply replace the single pole breaker with a double pole and take the existing white wire and turn it into a "red" wire for your 220, (put the white (red) wire on the second pole of the new breaker.)

If you will remove the cover on the back of the motor, you will probably find a plug that you move from the 220 position to the 110 position. Change the plug from 220 / 20 amp to 110 / 20 (or what ever the motor will require) Normally, when you change the voltage in this direction (down) you send the amps up by 2 times. What I mean is if the motor uses 7.5 amps at 220, you will be using 15 amps at 110. Make sure you have at least #12 wire for a little extra safety.

Thanks for your interest in FixYa.com

    So you read all my comment, looked at the motor and I was wrong? What was the deal when you took the back off ... what did you find?

How do I wire a Century 1HP 1081 motor for 230V? This is an old pool pump but still runs. Having a hard time finding any wiring diagrams. Previous owner had it wired for 115v, need it back to 230v.

Did you find a solution for this? I have the exact same pump/motor with the exact same problem. Need to reconfigure it from 110v to 220v and have no wiring diagram.

CAN I WIRE THIS PUMP TO RUN OFF 110 OR DOES IT ONLY USE 220

There should be a wiring diagram on the side of the motor. It will show wiring for 220V,or 110V, or both.

I need a manual

For what?
its just a motor.
do you need wiring assistance?
what is the model, code or serial number of the Emerson motor?
and... 1081 does not help!
That just means it's a 'Pool' motor casing.
