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.

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?
Reply
Replacing a pool pump motor is not as difficult as it seems. You can try looking here. If you need help figuring out what the information on your label means. If you are still having difficulty figuring it out you can call us at our toll free number or you can send us a photo of your motor label here.

I just finished replacing the shaft seal on my booster pump. As soon as I turned the pump on water was leaking from the shaft seal. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong?
Reply
Depending on the model, the installation of a booster pump shaft seal can be slightly different than a pool pump shaft seal. Some booster pump and pool pump shaft seals require that a silicone sealant be used on the outer areas of the metal seat of the shaft seal. The seal will need to be lightly hammered into the body of the pump. You can use a 1 inch PVC coupling or a piece of 1 1/4 inch PVC pipe and a rubber mallet. This procedure will apply to any pool pump or booster pump using a >PS-1000 style shaft seal.

The current pump motor I have is the AO Smith 7-177475-28 1HP. As I understand it, the B2848 can be used as a replacement. Can you please verify before I complete my order?
Reply
Hello Terry - The B2848 (B848) is the correct replacement motor for the 1HP part number 7-177475-28.
Reply
Is the B848 pool pump motor suitable for outdoor pool pumps?
Reply
Yes, this motor will work just fine for either indoor or outdoor applications. The motor is determined by the wet end that it is being attached too. A motor cover is recommended for outdoor use to protect from rain, sprinklers and the runoff from the roof, rusting the motor prematurely.
Reply
What is the difference between the B2841 and B2848 motors?
Reply
The difference between the B848 and the B841 is the amps it takes to run them. They are both Energy Efficient motors and both have a Total Horse Power ( horse power times service factor ) of 1.65 hp. The B841 is just slightly more efficient by running at an amp usage of 7.4-7.8 at 115v or 14.8 at 230v. The B848 will run at 8 amps at 115v and 16 amps at 230v.

Hello Wade - You could replace your current motor with the B848. The shaft seal would be the same regardless of the motor.

I have a Jandy pool pump system. The pump motor is making noises. It is an A.O. Smith 1.5HP part number 7-193986-24. Also, what seals would you recommend replacing?
Reply
The correct replacement for your motor is model B854. The seals would depend on your Jandy model (Plus HP, Max HP, Stealth, WTFR, or Flo Pro). You can find the replacement seals on those part pages. I would recommend replacing the shaft seal, diffuser o-ring, and backplate o-ring.

Hi Craig, Yes this would be the correct replacement motor for your 7-193993-05 motor being used on your Jandy SHPF 1.0 pump. We would also suggest the replacing the Shaft seal on your Jandy SHPF 1.0 pump as many times if you use your old shaft seal you will have leaking which will cause damage to the new motor. A leaking shaft seal will also void the motor's warranty.

my 1hp Magnetek motor (8-177080-24 230/155volt Y56Y SF1.65) made a scrapping high pitched noise the other day that only Rosanne Barr would have appreciated...so i turned it off. The next day there was just a humming sound. A buddy and i opened the motor, cleaned it, replaced the bearings and now ready to reattach it to the pump but want to get the correct seals and gaskets. The pump is cast iron with what looks like engraved on the strainer body, C3-29D on its lid and 01-63DA on the pump.
Reply
Hi Jeff, I can confirm that this is the proper replacement motor for your Magnetek 8-177080-24 motor. For the seals and gaskets I would need to know your pool pump manufacture name and model # as I was unable to cross reference any of the part #'s you supplied. Based on the part #'s you supplied I believe this is most likely a Sta-Rite pump, model names for Sta-Rite would be Max-E-Glas, Max-E-Glas II, Dura-Glas, Dura-Glas II, C Series, CC series, etc.. Also is the strainer housing plastic, cast iron or bronze? Please email us back with this information and/or any pictures of your pump, as this will help us determine the needed seals and gaskets.

My pump motor has part #7-168453. It shows to be a 1 1/2 HP Centurion, type CX, code J. Is this the correct replacement motor?
Reply
Hi Dennis, Yes this would be the correct replacement for your 7-168453 motor. The reason this motor shows 1 HP and yours shows 1-1/2 HP is that this motor is a full rate motor and your motor is an uprate motor and a 1 HP full rate motor is identical to a 1-1/2 HP uprate motor. So you should be all set with going with this B848 motor.

I have a very old, 30+ years, Anthony Antho-Sweep A.O. Smith pump, model number (best I can read it) C48K2EBJ02, Frame 48Y. Would this pump work as a replacement. I know this one is a 56Y frame but I'm reading in some places these might be usable to replace a 48Y?
Reply
The motors can be 56Y and 48Y swapped with no problem. The difference between the 56Y and the 48Y motor is the width of the barrel, the 56Y motor is wider then the 48Y motor. Sometimes when going from a 48Y to a 56Y, the base has to be cut to fit the larger motor.

Usually the 56 frame style motors were originally used on the Challenger models so I would go with the B848. Functionally though, they both can work.

I believe this is the correct replacement for my Magnatetek Century Centurion part # 7-177450-03, all other nomenclature matches, y56y frame, 230/115V. This is paired with a Whisperflow WFE-4 pump. I added solar thermal panels 6 months ago and all has been fine until the motor recently seized, my question is do I need a bigger pump/motor to push the water to the roof, is that possibly why the 10 year old motor failed? Also please recommend the gasket kit for this pump.
Reply
This is a correct motor replacement for you. 10 years is a good life span for a motor. On average a total horse power of approximately 1.5 as this motor has, is good enough for a solar system. The seal kit for the Whisperflo on a regular chlorine pool is the gokit32 and the salt water version is the gokit32salt.

Hi Sam, Your best bet is going to be to go with the ECM16SQU Variable Speed Replacement Motor this motor allows you to bump your HP up to 1.65 for demanding things like spa jets, vacuuming, waterfalls, solar, etc.. but for the majority of the time your pump is used for general pool filtration. For general pool filtration you can dial this pump down to a very low HP and this is where you will see a huge operational cost savings, up to 70% savings. You will also need this Whisperflo Seal Kit.

my motor is just humming, but not seized. I can get it started with one manual turn of the shaft. I need a new capacitor. does this pump have one or does it have both a start and run capacitor? which part do I need to order and do you carry it in stock? thanks in advance

Matt, Your motor will either have a capacitor on the top or the back. We will need the specs and dimensions of your capacitor to match one up for you.

Your replacement motor would be the model B841 and in order to cross reference the seals needed we would need the model name or number of the front pump housing that the motor bolts to. You can call in with that information but if you do not have that information then you can send us images of that into upload@inyopools.com.

My system is a Pentair Challenger and I currently have a B853 (B2853) 1 HP Century Centuriun/AO Smith motor. When I read about the Challenger system, I am seeing that it should have a B848 (B2848) 1 HP motor. The amps on the B853 replacement is less than the amps on my current label. Do I use the B853 replacement or switch to the B848?

If you have been using the B853 without any issues and has been there for years then you would want to stay with that model motor.

I have a B2848 motor that was put in in 2015. The other day it had started up in the morning and then a couple of hours later was not working and the housing was very hot.

Hi. You can use a multimeter to confirm that you're getting the proper voltage at the motor. If you are getting the correct voltage, then test the capacitor along with the motor windings. These steps can all be found in our How To Use a Multimeter to Test a Pool Pump Motor - Voltage, How to Test a Pool Pump Capacitor and How To Use a Multimeter to Test a Pool Pump Motor - Winding Resistance guides. The result of each test will determine if the motor needs to be repaired or replaced.

Actually, your direct motor replacement would be the B852 that you can view by clicking here and motors aren't actually self-priming. It is the front pump wet end housing model that the motor attaches to that determines whether a pump is self-priming or not.

I was told that this motor would be the proper replacement for the 177475 Pentair motor on our 340039 Pentair Pump. However, the horsepower appears to be 1.0 rather than 1.5.

I have a Pentair whisper flow pump wf28 and a 2hp motor 56y driving the pump, I want to change the motor to a 1hp 56y to reduce the flow can I do this , will it fit?
Reply
Hi Brian, all pool motors spin at the same speed, so a lower horsepower motor on your WF-28 will only burn the motor out since it will still be trying to drive the impeller that was designed for a 2HP motor. Your options would be to replace the motor and change the impeller (scroll down to see the flow chart on this webpage for the difference from 2HP to 1HP) or you could get a variable-speed motor so you could choose whatever flow/speed you want. The variable-speed motor is more expensive but, when properly set up, would pay for itself over its lifetime by saving you on your utility bill.

I need a replacement motor for a1.5 hp Pentair Whisperflow WF-26 (part number 011773). I currently have a 1.5 HP A.O. Smith motor number 177475. Should I replace with the Century 1.5 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B2854 or the Century 1.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Full Rate Motor - B2848? Both appear to have the same braking horsepower since the service factor on the B2848 is 1.65 and on the B2854 it is 1.1.
Good morning Jerad, Based on this information The correct replacement motor would be the Century 1.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Full Rate Motor - B2848.

I have a Jandy Stealth Pool Pump MODEL SHPM1.0. It needs to have a new motor and motor pump seal. The pump has an AO Smith Centurion motor(rated 1.0 HP) 56Y. Is this(B2848) the correct motor replacement?
I would also need a new pump seal. Do you recommend a lubricant to be used in to be pump seal housing when installing, if so, what should I use?
Thank you.

The specs match my old pump motor exactly. The notes at the bottom of the specs box says "Not California Title 20 Compliant".
I am in California. Can I buy this pump, or do I need to find one that is compliant??
Your page: https://www.inyopools.com/Products/00200017039447.htm
Thanks

Hi Donald, Title 20 requires any motor over .75 horsepower to either be dual- or variable-speed to help save on electric use, so we are unable to ship you the identical replacement B2848 motor. Your Title 20-compliant options are this dual-speed B982 motor or this variable-speed ECM16SQU motor. Note that both motors require 230 volts to operate and your old motor only required 115 volts, so be sure you have sufficient power at your equipment pad.
