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.

Am needing to replace electric motor for Power-Flo Matrix Pump by Hayward. Reading instructions for seal replacement seems to lead to motor removal. Once motor removed from pump housing, how do I remove the collar and impeller? Will it be obvious once I see it? Or will other tools or work be required to swap that to new motor? Thanks

Hi Gary, We have a How to Guide on How To Replace a Hayward Power Flo Shaft Seal which should answer all of your questions. We also have a Video on How To Replace a Pool Pump Motor which should be helpful as well.

IS THIS THE SAME MOTOR AS MINE WITH # SPX1510Z1XE-01, WHICH IS A FEW YEARS OLD? PLEASE GET BACK TO ME ASAP, AS MY MOTOR IS CRACKED & WATER IS LEAKING OUT OF MY POOL!

Hi Gayle, Yes this would be the same motor as your SPX1510Z1XE-01 motor.

IS THIS MOTOR THE SAME AS MY SEVERAL YEAR OLD HAYWARD MOTOR WITH THESE ID#'S SP1510Z1XEHC &/OR 196035-01. I HAVE A CRACK IN MY MOTOR AND I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP ASAP SO I CAN ORDER THE CORRECT MOTOR. THANKS!

The SPX1510Z1XE part number 5111-86 would be the correct replacement motor for you powerflow matrix 1hp pump. I would also recommend you replace you shaft seal when replacing the motor which is part number SP1500KA.

The pump/strainer is leaking between the motor and strainer. There's play between the motor and the strainer. Is there a possible quick fix? Is this a common breakdown. Seems the cause would have been from the struggle to open the strainer lid. HELP!
Reply
Typically this type of leaking is caused by a bad shaft seal. If you do have a Hayward Power Flo then I would suggest a Hayward Power-Flo Tune Up Kit which includes the shaft seal and all of the orings for the pump.

what is the gpm output rating on the 1510z1xehc?
Reply
This really depends on the pump this motor is hooked up to. This motor is most commonly used on the Hayward Power-LX Pump which has an average Gallons Per Minute (GPM) rating of 80 GPM. This motor is normally used on above ground pool pumps or hot tub pumps and not inground pool pumps.

i have a Matrix 1hp pump brand new de system started the pump up got the filter full shut down to get the de from my garage weighted it out went to start up the pump to start putting the de in the skimmer and the pump just started humming wouldn't pump the water . is this a centrifigal switch bad or a frozen shaft or just a bad pump altogether.
Reply
Normally a pool pump humming would mean a bad motor capacitor and we would suggest replacing the motor on the pump. The correct motor for the 1 HP Hayward Matrix would be the motor on this page, we would also suggest replacing the Hayward Matrix Shaft Seal.

can I run my pool pump 1hp with a 12/3 100ft. extension cord if not what size would i have to get thats how far the pump is from the GFIC outlet on the back of my house

For a 100' run you would require #8 wire.

Everything I think matches, except part # is this equal to Part# 7-184878-21? We thought the Serial was BT11-05, but it might be what your showing here?
Reply
Hi Genia, The 1 H.P 115V Thru Bolt Motor (BN25) is what will match p/n 7-184878-21, however the 1 Hp Motor w/ Switch (SPX1510Z1XE, SP1510Z1XE) comes with the switch and is used mainly on the Hayward Matrix Pump.

Is this the same as SP 1510-Z-1-XESC ?

When looking at the manual for the Hayward Power-Flo Matrix ( page 11) the only pumps I see that has the ending of SC are the 2 and 2 1/2 horse power versions. The only one that has the part number of SP1510Z1XE is this one.

Ronnie, Does the shaft spin freely? If not, the motor is seized. Replacing the motor is somewhat difficult if you've never replaced it before. We have a few videos that will give you an idea: http://www.inyopools.com/how_to_guides.aspx

I have been loosing pump seals I had a Sta. Rite pump originally changed over to a Hayward powerflo matrix pump 1.5 hp. it lasted 4 months and the seal started leaking and the motor stopped working I think I have a issue with the wiring going to my pump house which is where I get power for the pool pump I think I can use the 1 hp. instead of the 1.5 hp. does it pull less amps. I welcome any help at this point Thanks Cal.
Reply
HI Cal, Several this can cause a pump seal to fail. The most common is not maintaining your pool's water chemistry. Other reasons like If the pump runs dry, the pump is vibrating and improper installation. You can go with a hp pump but I would recommend that you first find out why your seals are failing.

I have a sp1510z1xehc pump. I was running the pump and turned it off to perform a backwash. When I tried to turn it on again, it just started humming. Its been going that ever since. Not sure if it ceased up and I need a new pump or it just needs some work. If I need to replace it what model do I need? if I choose to go up to a 1.5h what model would I need and do I need a new pump seal?

Hi. The motor will need to be replaced along with the Pump Seal - SP1500KA. Increasing the HP, you will need to replace the impeller along with the motor and seals.

Hello. I have a power flo matrix 1 hp (SP1510Z1XEHC). Sometimes when it starts it will start up and begin pumping then it will start to hum after about 10-15 seconds then shut down. After I let it cool down it will start and run for hours. It is random. I can't find a capacitor. Can this be a faulty or sticking centrifugal switch? Sometimes it smells like something is burning when it starts to hum. Then it may start up and run normal after it cools down. Is there a hidden capacitor somewhere?
Reply
Think about replacing the motor and pump seal also look into variable speed pumps/motors great rebates out there from manufacturers and utility companies.

Maybe it is time to think about replacing the motor, but if you do that don't forget a new pump seal or look into the new variable speed pump/motors some great rebates out there from manufacturers and utility companies
Reply
What you describe could be the capacitor, the switch or the windings of the motor. (windings are least likely but possible ) A capacitor would be located on the back of the motor next to the switch. Sometimes replacing the capacitor is a short term solution & you could end up having problems within a short period of time, we suggest you replace the motor & of course the shaft seal & o-rings. 90-423-5362 ( lid o-ring), 90-423-6000 ( volute o-ring ) & 35-150-3303 ( shaft seal )

That's what has me stumped. There is no capicitor cover (doghouse) and there is no capacitor under the end cover by the switch. Where else would ia capacitor be located on this motor? Thanks again.
Reply
Lucy, That motor is designed without one.
Reply
Thanks. It ended up being the contactor on the small circuit board in the back of the motor, so I replaced the entire circuit board.

Good afternoon Matt, The Motor 1 Hp W/ Switch (SPX1510Z1XE, SP1510Z1XE) is not the direct replacement based on this information. The correct replacement would be Motor 1.5 HP w/ Switch - SPX1515Z1E. You would also need to get Pump Shaft Seal Assembly 5/8" - PSR-2131.
