Most often on pool pump motors that run on 230 voltage both wires will carry 110 - 120 voltage so either wire would be attached to both terminals. However, to confirm more so, we would nee the specific model of the motor.

I have the same situation - two black wires ; 230. I just bought a ECM16SQU which should arrive tomorrow. Can I hook up the wires to either terminal? Thank you.

Yes, when you have 230-240 voltage going to the ECM16SQU you can place either hot leads on either L1 or L2 as both wires carry 110-120 voltage. Please refer to this manual if you need it prior to the motor delivery.
