Not sure if this is the most recent thread on this topic but here goes....
Code - I have wired my system and am running into similar issues as above.
Love controllers and pumps use the same toggle switch. Loves light up just fine but once I turn on the pump switch I pop the GFCI.
Note: I have the pump ground running to the ground bus and the switch ground (pin #3) running to the same bus.
Neutral from the pump is running to the netural bus.
Feed (power/black) is coming from the hot bus into pin #1. Black feed back to pump is on pin #2. (Ground is on pin #3)..heading back to the ground bus.
Q./ Are you suggesting that the #2 pin should be neutral?
Sorry to be a bit slow but as many have written, wiring is not my thing.
Thanks!

pin 3 should goto 110v
pin 2 should goto the black wire of the pump
pin 1 should goto neutral
*Don't bond neutral to ground. the ground conductor is not intended to be a current carrying conductor. The only place these two should be bonded is in the service panel.
pump wiring.
pin 2 of the switch to black
ground to green
neutral to white.
If it doesn't work, double check the pin out of the switch. I thought the bronze pin normally went to neutral...
Now if you are running 240v to the pumps and they are rated for 240 there should not be a white wire on the pump. It will be red instead (or should be)
If that is the case then wire everything the same except wire the red wire to the second leg of 240. I would hazard to guess that you got the wrong socket image though..
