A 3/0 copper conductor with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps.
The main breaker will have marking indicating size of electrical service, or if it is a fuse system....the fuses will have current ratings. If it is a subpanel, it might not have a main breaker. In this case you would have to look in the panel that the feed is coming from and find the size of the breaker that is feeding it. In either case you must look for the manufacturer's label that will have the maximum current the panel can handle, make sure the breaker feeding the panel doesn't exceed this rating.
The wattage of the water tank is needed to size the breaker and the wire to feed the tank.
The biggest circuit breaker in any home is the main breaker located in your main breaker panel that is installed where your electrical service cable comes into your home.
The 225 amps is the secondary output amperage. Look on the machines nameplate to find the input amperage. It is that amperage that is needed to size the feed wire and there the breaker size. When you find that amperage you may want to re question the breaker size.
The sizing of the circuit breaker and hence the wire size to feed the pump are all dependant upon the amperage of the pump. This question can not be answered without that information.

Look on the handle end of the main breaker. There should be a number there. That is the amperage of the main breaker. That is the size of your house service.
50 amps

You can reduce the breaker size because that limits the current that can reach the main panel. There is no safety issue other than the significant danger in an unskilled person changing out a main breaker.
Typically yes because that is what makes sense. However, the subpanel could have the same size breaker as long as the panel were rated for that amperage and the wire sizes were appropriate.
