Premium-Efficiency 2-Speed Pool Motor with Integrated Timer
A. O. Smith’s new 2Green two-speed premium efficiency replacement pump motor with integrated timer packs tremendous value into an easy to- nstall package. Energy efficiency continues to drive the needs of the pool market, from legislation to increased awareness of energy costs and environmental impact. And thanks to the 2Green’s energy efficient high and low speed windings paired with an onboard timer interface, energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 58% over single speed motors. The all-in-one integrated motor and timer means less work for an installer and maximum energy savings for pool and spa owners. A. O. Smith’s 2Green is Title 20 compliant** and best of all, there is no additional wiring required for new construction or retrofit installations!
**California’s Title 20 legislation states that pumps > 1HP (total) must be 2-speed or variable speed, and must have a control to default to low-speed (i.e. timer)

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.

Why do I need to purchase a new shaft seal?
Reply
We strongly recommend replacing the shaft seal. The purpose of a shaft seal is to prevent water from running down the shaft of the motor and into the motor housing. Water will damage the bearings and cause the motor to fail. A new shaft seal should be installed whenever a motor is replaced. The motor manufacturer can deny the warranty if the motor fails to due to water damage from a faulty shaft seal. To find your shaft seal you will need to visit our Pool Pump Parts Page or the Spa Pump Parts Page and select your make and model.

Why should I purchase a Tune Up Kit?
Reply
A Tune Up Kit includes all of the essential replacement seals and gaskets for the pump. The seals and gaskets should be replaced when installing a new motor on your pump. New seals will prevent the pump from leaking water or losing the prime. A Tune Up Kit will protect your motor and ensure that the pump is working efficiently.

1. Disconnect power at breaker to pump
2. Short power poles to verify correct breaker is off. Short start capacitor.
3. Unhook power wires from back of motor, remove bonding wire last
4. Removed mount plate from pump by loosening and remove metal clamp ring.
5. Remove diffuser from mount plate.
6. Remove broken impeller from motor shaft
7. Unbolt motor from mount plate
8. Bolt new motor to mount plate
9. Press shaft seal to motor shaft. Used a socket to press evenly on seal.
10. Install new impeller, hand-tight as to not over tighten. Torque from motor will tighten impeller further with use. Be sure enough pressure is placed on the shaft-seal to give a proper seal.
11. Install new diffuser.
12. Replaced diffuser o-ring. Lubricate diffuser with o-ring lube and install
13. Lube pump housing o-ring.
14. Install mount plate to pump housing. Ensure the UP label is up.
15. Tighten metal clamp ring very tight.
16. Attach motor to bonding wire, then attach electrical wiring
17. Close breaker power to pump, very no shorts by watching breaker for a second to make sure it stays closed.
18. Program timer on pump.
19. Check for leaks on o-rings and watch for water leaking through the motor that would be a sign the shaft-seal did not seal correctly.
20. Go swimming.

(5 out of 5 stars) Best two speed motor in the market
Reviewed By: J. Martinez from Stockton, CA ()
Pros: Easy interface
Cons: None
I've tried other brands of motors and motors with separate controllers and so far this motor has the easiest controller interface to program. Some controllers you have to have the manual in front of you to be able to program or change the settings. The motor has 3 buttons with instructions on the display for each button, all you have to do is read the instructions for each button and push the button required to do what you want it to do ie "change timers", "change settings", "turn motor on manual", etc. from there the instructions will change depending on the menu you selected for that button. I may actually be making it sound harder than it is, trust me is simple. The only thing to keep in mind with this motor is the diameter of the barrel may be larger than yours to what you will have to do is remove any spacer from the pump base to allow the larger motor to seat on the it. Some pump bases may no have such spacer/adapter so you may want to make sure it will fit if your motor happen to be smaller.

(4 out of 5 stars) Easy and quiet
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
Motor and timer installed easily. The 2 poles for 220 are a little close together in my opinion, and the bonding clamp isn't a design I'm used to, but for the most part the installation was a breeze. Motor has been in service for a week now. Love how quiet it is compared to my previous motor.

(2 out of 5 stars) Replace of B2982T
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
Replacement for a B2982T. Motor start winding failed after five years. Not unusual here in Florida. Replaced unit with an identical unit. New motor has a vibration and after approx three months of service bearings are noisy. The controller is excellent, easy to program and is battery backed up. If you decide on this unit I would recommend bench testing the motor before completing the installation.

(4 out of 5 stars) 1 hp dual speed w/ controller
Reviewed By: Lloyd T. W. from Beaumont, TX ()
Pros: quiet and seems to be energy efficient
Cons: not quite as much power as I thought it would have
The motor has been reliable, but far less power than my old 2 hp unit. The capacity works fine, but were I to do it again, I would look for slightly higher hp.

(5 out of 5 stars) Awesome Pump
Reviewed By: Jim R. from Rogersville, AL ()
Pros: Easy install
Cons: None for the pump but there was no "GoKit" available for the Waterco system I had so I wasted money on one of the seals that was too large.
Glad I made the decision to purchase the 2green pump form Inyo. While I had a Waterco SupraTuf pump the instructions Inyo provided in how to replace the pump (Stayrite) was easy to follow. In just over an hour I had my new 2Green pump up and running. I used to run my pump 24/7 but now I can set my pump to run on low speed during the cold nights to keep the water circulating and avoid freezing lines while enjoying lower electric bills...or at least I expect to see lower bills. This pump only uses 3 watts of power on high speed whereas my 11 year old Waterco pump that just failed used 12 watts.

(5 out of 5 stars) Quality Pump Motor
Reviewed By: Larry T. from Titusville, FL ()
Pros: Quiet, easy to program.
Cons: None
I replaced a 1-speed motor on my Water Ace pump with this 2-speed. I had to cut a 1/2" off the motor support base to it would fit. Installation was very easy and setting the timers was no problem. I have it set to run for 1 hour hi-speed on startup in the early morning and then lo-speed for 12 hours. It is extremely quiet when running in lo-speed. Switching to manual and engaging hi-speed for vacuuming is no problem.
