What is Service Factor?
Reply
Service Factor(SF) is a multiplier that when multiplied by the horsepower of the motor indicates the total permissible horsepower loading that may be carried when the motor is operating at rated voltage and frequency. The most important thing to remember when replacing a motor is that the replacement motor's horsepower times its service factor must be equal to or greater than the original motor's horsepower times its service factor. The Service Factor rating can be found on the motor label. See Step 4 of our How to Read a Pool Motor Label guide.

I'm trying to replace the motor on my pool pump but all these numbers and abbreviations on the motor label are really confusing me. What do they mean?

I just ordered Number: 719758 [5280-5 (B2980) - Motor, Sq Fl E-plus, full, 2 Speed 230v 3/4 Hp (b2980)] as a replacement for a Pentair WhisperFlo WFDS-26. Can this A. O. Smith motor handle the Pentair impeller?

Hi, Curtis969. The B2980 is the correct replacement motor and can be used with a Pentair Impeller.

Hello, I have a whining Pentair Superflo with the motor marked 196030 and total HP 1.25. But the HP is marked 1.0/.12 and SF 1.25/.15. Is the B2980 the same motor?
Can I buy a bearing kit for this? Thank you.

Hello, I apologize, but we don't have the bearings for this unit available.
