My motor is a AO smith B231SE. Can I use this motor to replace the 2.5 HP one? Do I also have to change the impeller for 1.65 HP?
My pool is 1.9K gallon I don't need the 2.5HP.
Reply
As long as the total dynamic head matches well with a 1.65 VS motor then yes you could and you would need to change the impeller. However, we usually recommend matching or slightly exceed the total horsepower as the original pool builder likely already calculated the TDH and learned that model motor was needed for your application. You can view this guide to calculate if you would like.

If I currently have a 1HP C48K2N143 and I replace with the ECM16CU a 1.65HP motor, should I replace the 1HP Impeller in the pump with a 1.5HP Impeller like the SPX2610C
Reply
Hi, Richard. You do not want to replace the impeller to the 1.5 HP - SP2610C until you're able to confirm that your system is able to handle the increase water flow. This motor will operate fine using your current impeller.
Reply
I believe the ECM16CU is the correct match judging from all the other inquiries. But it never hurts to ask. I believe my motor is SP-1607-Z1-M, and the Model is C48K2N143. I say believe because the label is so worn out, so I would ask if the model number matches the type listed above. It is a 1HP and has a SF of 1.1 and it is of course a 56J frame. I have replaced the bearings twice in the last 20 years, but think I would like the efficiency of a variable speed. I have included a picture.
does this replace the ECM16SQU.All other factors appear to match this unit. please advise as we are ready to buy

Hi there, I need a replacement for my 1.5HP Century USN1152 pump. It looks like a round flange type. Although it says it's efficient and I can get a direct replacement it might make more sense to get the variable speed pump for a bit more money. In that case is this a good direct replacement as far as wiring and fitting to the housing?
thanks

Pool size is 26,000 gallons.
Reply
Actually, you would need to use a model ECM27SQU. Just keep in mind that this one has a 48 frame so it may not rest on the pump base the same way that your current one does. You may need to customize your base or if the model permits change the base foot/boot.

I see below that you have already answered this basic question. Will this work with a 1hp super pump? SP2607X10
Yes, is your answer but, Does it require a different impeller? Since my old impeller is supposed to work with 1HP and this motor is rated 1.65HP?
Reply
Hi, Evan. You do not need to replace the impeller, you can use your existing impeller.
Reply
With this pump having electronic circuit boards, is it recommended to have some type of surge protector to keep the board safe? Hate for something to damage the main board that is not replaceable.
Reply
Am I correct to assume this motor does not have a built in timer. So you would install this using a pool timer and when it comes on, it then runs the preset steps 1, 2, 3 ?
Reply
Hi Evan, Yes you are correct. You would use a normal pool timer to power the pump on and off and then whatever settings you program on the controller will take over from there once the pump is powered up.

Reply
I have an AO Smith B2983 1.5HP two speed pump that is making a racket and will probably die soon. Would this variable speed pump be the correct replacement?
Reply
Hello, based off of your current motor, you will need to go with the ECM27SQU. Please be advised that this motor has a smaller bore than your current motor and something would have to be placed underneath so that it is not hanging in the air. When you install this motor, you will also need to replace your shaft seal, which is determined by the model of your pump, not the motor.

Hello I have a Hayward super pump SP2610X15 that I run approx. 8 to10 hrs. a day, how much power would I save using your motor? Next I also run a Polaris 360 off this same motor the full time as it cleans the pool bottom while the two skimmers are cleaning the top. Will the decrease rpms effect my Polaris or will it work the same?
Reply
Hi, Douglas. Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell you exactly how much you'll save using this motor. On average 20-80% depending on the motor's operation. The decreased RPM will affect the Polaris performance.

My concern here is my current pool pump turns the power on at a set time every day. I would like to keep that simple feature. It looks like I would have to go outside every day and press the start key in order for the pump to turn on. This doesn't seem right to me. Can someone confirm if my intermatic timer will continue to work with this motor and keep the desired running time along with the preset RPM everyday?
Reply
Yes with this model you can still use the timer and within those hours, program how you would like to set your RPM intervals.
Reply
I am considering the ECM16CU to replace my 1 HP motor on an older Jandy Stealth (JHP) pump. Is this motor compatible with my pump? Do I need to replace the pump impeller since it is rated at 1 HP? Is the variable speed motor compatible with my Jandy AquaLink RS Controller? What kit do you recommend to service and replace the pump seals and O-rings? Thank you.
Reply
Hello Bob, the ECM16CU would work on the Jandy Stealth Original (2006 and Prior) JHP & JHPU. You would not need to change the impeller and the seals needed when you change the motor would be GOKIT77. The motor would need to add the V-Green Automation Adapter Kit - 2517501-001. With the addition of Century’s new automation adapter (kit #2517501-001) the VGreen 270 can now be installed where third party pool automation systems already exist.

Reply
Hi, Rod. The ECM16SQU square flange motor is the correct one you will need for Model # SF-N1-1A. Your energy savings will be based on your usage and operating RPMs. On average a customer will reduce by at least 50 percent switching from a single speed to a variable speed.

What is the proper replacement motor for my Speck Model 21-80/30G. This is a high volume low head 0.5 HP specialty pump with 56J motor C flange, threaded. The current pool motor is 1725rpm, is there a way to avoid pump priming as this pump is well below pool water level? High speed priming could deliver too much water and could be bad for pump. One more question on a separate pump I'm considering upgrading: Northstar SP4015NS with Y56J motor, 1.5hp, which vsp to use? Thanks!
Reply
Hi, William. The Motor Unit - 2088300005M is what's used with the Speck 21-80/30 G pump. There is no way to avoid the priming mode of this motor. The ECM27CU VS Motor would be the replacement for the Northstar SP4015NS pump.

You would not be able to make this motor 110 volts but you can change the electrical line running power to the motor to 220 volts. You would need to get with a licensed electrician but you can change that 110 volts line to 220 volts supplying power to that pump.

Reply
Hi, Dave. The ECM16SQU square flange vs motor is the correct motor that will fit on the P2RA5D-180L pump. The pump curve is specific to pumps, not the motor. With the proper settings, this motor will be able to achieve your goal.

Just to clarify, this pump does not have programmable features in the sense that you can program it to run a certain amount of hours at this RPM, then change to another RPM for another certain amount of hours, and then another RPM for a final amount of hours? In other words, you cannot program it to do anything on it's own (the only thing that is programmable is the actual preset speeds)? So it's all manual when you want the RPMs to change...Thanks!

You are able to program it to run at a certain RPM for a specific time and so on like you said. You are able to control it from your phone with the VLink interface as well.

Hello Mike, according to the 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Round Flange - ECM16CU these match Round Flange Hayward Super Pump, Super II Pump & Max-Flo Pumps, not the Northstar. You can replace with the 2.7 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Round Flange - ECM27CU, but please make sure you have the clamp on first before you start putting your motor back onto the pump.

I want to replace the motor on my Hayward North Star pool pump SP4010X15NS. Will a variable speed motor work with that pump assembly? If so which one? This pump currently has a 1.5HP 1.25SF A.O Smith motor.

I was looking to replace a US Motors 1081 Cat. No EB841, Model K63CXESD-4791, 1HP, SF 1.65, RPM 3450 motor with this. It has a round flange. If so do I need any other parts?
Reply
If you are replacing an EB841 that is a square flange motor so you would want the ECM16SQU. That is the motor, I can help you with the seals if you have the model of the pump that your motor attaches to. If you do not know you can attach a picture and shoot me an email back so I can identify it for you and find the correct seal kit for you.

I have an a.o smith model s48b73A03 3/4 hp motor. Can this be used to replace this motor?

Hello, Amanda. No, the 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Round Flange - ECM16CU is not a compatible replacement for the s48b73A03. The 3/4 HP Single Speed Motor - BN24V1 is the direct replacement. The 3/4 HP 2 Speed 115V Thru Bolt Motor - BN36 is also available with the use of the Switch, Toggle-two Spd (motor Add-on) (18313301) or the 40 Amp Control Center W/ 2 120V Timers - T10101R . Don't forget to replace your Pool Pump Shaft Seal when replacing the motor impeller.

Is this VS motor the right replacement for my 7-186886-01 A. O. Smith motor?

Unfortunately, this motor will not work as your replacement because it is designed for inground pumps. Your motor is an above ground design. You would need to replace the entire pumps assembly. Please view the Super Flo VS.

How can the 600rpm amp is 0.5 (1/21 of 10.5AMP at 3650rpm) but the HP is 0.5 (1/3.3 of 1.65HP at 3650rpm) given voltage is 220v? Variable speed is efficient due to the fact that HP is roughly proportional to square of RPM, 600RPM at 0.5amp is efficient but 600RPM at 0.5HP is very inefficient! Can you clarify what are the amp and HP at 1875rpm and 600rpm? Thanks.
Reply
At 600 RPM you will use 0.5 amps and at 1875 RPM you will use 5.5-6 amps.

I just received mine in the mail yesterday, have it all hooked up and it is super quiet. My question is, on my Intermatic timer that I'm tied into, should I pull the start and stop tabs? I'm having a hard time understanding step 12 and three for the timing. I've watched your video on YouTube, and I'm still little confused. When starting at step one, is that the time every day that the motor will start?
Reply
Hi, Gary. The ECM16CU motor does not have a true built-in timer so you would have to set the start/stop time at your Intermatic timer. The start time would be STEP 1 and the stop time would conclude at the end of STEP 3. So if your total run time equal 12 hours you would set time Intermatic timer to start at 8 am and turn off at 8 pm.

The V-Green 165 will always run the PRIMING sequence when starting from the OFF state, except when starting in OVERRIDE. The factory Prime settings are 2600 RPM for three (3) minutes. The START event will be stored in the controller. Should a power outage occur, the V-Green 165 will automatically re-start at STEP 1 when power is restored.

There are a few options on replaceing this motor with other more energy efficient models. There is the single speed energy efficient model being the UCT1102, the dual speed model being the B973T, and the the variable speed model ECM16CU. For this last model you would need to change the impeller, possibly the diffuser and lastly would need to make sure that the filter is compatible with the added pressure. The pump and filter model would be needed to confirm whether the pump parts will need to be replaced as well as if the filter is compatible.

Hello Ken - The 165 does not have the auxiliary like the 270. We spoke with the Century rep and he said the best thing you can do is just wire the 165 and your SWG to the timer. That way they will both come on and turn off at the same time. The 165 will still hold it's programming (bubble memory) so it will run in the set speed when it does turn on.

We had severe thunderstorms and my pump motor took the hit from a power surge. So after doing some research and finding out that I can't just replace it with a simple replacement motor since I live in California and need a 2 speed or variable speed motor. This was my only option to replace that was at least affordable since the pump is only 5 years old and the seals were just replaced at the beginning of the summer.
Removing the old motor was simple, just remove the four bolts then remove the impeller and the rest of the housing. All pieces went back on in reverse order from how they came off and was really easy going back on. I did have a few issues trying to get the programming to stay, but did a factory default reset and seems to be working pretty well and the motor is really quiet.

No problems installing. I did have to find a YouTube video to figure out how to disassemble the Hayward super pump that I had. It was actually very easy. The V green 165 does come with a user manual, but it doesn't tell you anything about installation. The Way the V green 165 was packaged, almost seemed like it's strictly for professionals in the industry who know what they're doing. But like I said, I was able to find a YouTube video and it went right in with no problems. The pump is super quiet, and I like the flexibility of the variable speed. I'm just now figuring out a week later how to tweak the different settings. The only thing I don't like about it, is I can't use it with my Intermatic timer, because when the timer switches on, it doesn't turn the pool pump on. I wish there was a built-in timer within the pump, but I guess that's why you need to buy the interface. All in all, I'm extremely happy with my purchase.

(5 out of 5 stars) Great Pump Motor
Reviewed By: Walt F. from Plano, TX ()
Pros: Quiet, easy to install and operate
Cons: None
Product arrived a day earlier than expected. Packaging was great. You do need to know how to pull the old motor off but there is instruction available (not part of the instructions, only wiring is in the instructions). This was a straight forward change out with my old motor. I did remove the old wall mounted timer and freeze protection switches that were bad and needed to be replaced if I had bought a conventional single speed motor. Having the timer and freeze switch built in was originally what sent me in this direction. Once I flipped the switch, I was amazed at how quiet it runs. Most of the noise at the higher RPMs comes from the fan moving air on the back of the unit. The pump is just outside of my bedroom and I have to strain to hear it even when the house is silent. The programming is easy as well. It is not the same as the more expensive models but is very functional and easy to program. After it ran for a couple of days with the standard setup, I adjusted the speeds and timing for each of the 3 steps and it is doing great. I have noticed a big drop in filter tank pressure which I hope will extend the life of the cartridges. When the temperature nears freezing the pump turns on as it is supposed to. I am waiting to see what savings I have over the single speed motor.

Easy to install replacement motor worked instantly. Controls are straight forward and programming simple. A bit more noisy than original but the multiple speeds let me fine tune the pump.
