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.

Hi, The A.O. Smith 3/4 HP, 56Y Frame, Up-Rate Motor (B852, B2852) will fit a Pentair Challenger Pump. You would also need to confirm that this motor is ok to use with your current Impeller.

Step 1 Go to local pool store and get told the motor is bad and you might as well replace the pump as well... That will only be about $600.
Step 2 Check out Inyopools.com and enter in the relevant data. I found all the parts I needed and dropped them in the shopping cart... but wait, do I need this other gizmo???
Step 3 Chat with Inyopools.com. They looked at my shopping cart and ensured I had the right parts for my pump and I was now 100% confident.
Step 4 Parts arrive and I am ready to get to work.... but this pump seal, what side faces which way.
Step 5 Watch Inyopools.com videos on how to install a pump seal.
Step 6 Called Inyopools.com and the guy checked the part and the motor and we scoured over the exploded diagram and he explained to me how to install the pump seal.
Step 7 Installed pump seal and motor and plumbed everything back in. No leaks, no issues, no problem!

Gave inyopools.com all of the info off of the old motor and they sent me the perfect replacement. They also sent me an email with a video link on how to properly replace the motor. With the video and a little help from my neighbor the replacement process was a breeze.

(5 out of 5 stars) Quiet pump
Reviewed By: Inyo Customer ()
My old pump motor started making a loud noise. Inyo advised my that it needed replacing. The instructions on their website were very easy to follow. I did have to figure out some new ground connections. The new pump is more efficient and quieter.

(5 out of 5 stars) Quality Pump
Reviewed By: David M. from New Orleans, LA ()
Pros: Ease of ordering and speedy delivery.
Cons: None
First time attempting this process. I found INYOpools on a web search as they had the best price for a replacement pump. The pump I was replacing, came with my in ground pool pump system, Wet End, Impeller, etc... As I stated before, this was my first time attempting such a job. When I opened the box I immediately discovered a higher quality pump; identical model and frame number to the failed pump. Attached all components, completed wiring to power, and started pump - it worked! Pump is running quietly and pool is being filtered again. Speedy delivery by INYOpools. I highly recommend shopping with INYOpools.

(3 out of 5 stars) Good when they work
Reviewed By: Craig M. from Aspen, CO ()
We bought this to replace another one. The first one we had as a backup and when we needed it and it installed it, it just kept overheating every few minutes. Everything was installed correctly and it purred like a kitten. But it would not stop overheating. We installed this new one and it purrs like a kitten, and never overheats. So one in the plus column and one in the minus column. Definitely a good price.

Pros: Customer service, shipping time, price and product
Cons: None that I can think of
Best of all is the wonderful customer service help provided by Inyopools. The product was here in the time specified and the price was considerably less than the 5 other companies I checked with first. The product was as specified and ordered and hasn't given me any problems to date. It was installed about a month ago.
