my current motor went bad Model PL 1102 1HP RPM 3450 SF 1.0 FR: 56 J I am wanting a variable speed motor this time What do I need
The ECM16CU would be the correct variable speed motor. If you need the seals and gaskets as well we will just need the front pump housing wet end model that the motor attaches to in order to cross-reference that for you.

will it fit for Jandy PHPM2.0
even this one is 1.5HP
Reply
Hi, James. Yes, it will fit, but will not be able to operate the pump. You will have to replace the impeller to P/N R0807202 to match the 1.65 THP of the motor. If you want to to keep your existing impeller, you will need to use Model # ECM27SQU.

I have a Hayward sp2610x15 and motor century c48L2n134b1 that burned up Will this fit
Yes, this variable-speed motor will be a suitable replacement motor for your model. If you have a chlorine pool then you may want to also use the GOKIT3 and for a saltwater pool the GOKIT3SALT.

Can I replace a single AO Smith 1HP K48L2N104 motor with this variable speed motor. It has the round flange. I also need the impellor. Should I get the 1Hp or the 1.5HP impeller? And also what tune up kit? GOKIT2? Thanks
Hi, Yes you can use this Variable Speed Motor to upgrade your RS1000 to variable speed. Your current impeller has a total HP of 1.5 HP so this is the correct impeller for this Variable Speed Motor so a new impeller is not needed. You will require this RS1000 Seal Kit when you replace your motor.

I just bought this motor to replace a burned up single speed Hayward Super Pump SP2607X10. What seal kit do I need? I ordered one but I think the porcelain ring is too large, as I have a leak now. Motor works like a charm and fit perfectly btw.

Can I replace my Hayward motor model K48L2N104 with this motor? Unfortunately, the label has worn off of the pump so I can't get the model number of the pump, but I do know it's a Hayward -- RS series. I live in California so need something that will meet Title 20 California Appliance Efficiency Regulations for Residential Pool Pump Motors. Attached images of current setup including pump, motor, wall timer
Zach, Based on the images, you can use this motor. Please note that this motor is 230v only. I was unable to tell if you are running 230v or 115v. We also recommend getting a GOKIT2
Reply
Awesome thank you for the quick response! We will order the motor and gokit. What is your return policy if for whatever reason the motor is not compatible with our setup or voltage? The current old Hayward motor says Volts = 115/230, not sure of that helps for a better understanding of the current motor output
Reply
Hi Zach, You can return the motor in new and unused condition within 30 days. Your current motor can be wired either 115v or 230v where the new motor can only be wired 230v. Most pools are set up for 230v however if your pool is set up for 115v then this new VSP motor would not work. You can take a voltmeter on the wires coming into your current pump to get a voltage reading and this will tell you if you have 115v or 230v. We wrote this article called Is My Pool Pump 115v or 230v which you may find helpful.

I need to replace my 1 hp A.O. Smith single speed motor (UST1102 / Motor Mod C48AA35A01). Am I able to replace that motor with this V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU without making any adjustments or changes to the wiring?
Hi Jag, The UST1102 can be wired either 230V or 115V where the ECM16CU variable speed can only be wired 230V. So if you are set up for 230V then you will be fine, if you are set up for 115V then this variable-speed motor would not work.

I have a Hayward SP2610X15 pump with a US Motors AST165 motor that was a replacement for the original Hayward OEM motor. On open the pool this Spring, the AST165 motor is now making a fair amount of noise (a low whine sound), so I'm guessing bearings are going out on it as well.
Is this the appropriate VSM to replace the AST165?
Hi Tom, Yes this is the correct replacement motor the motor included in your photo. You will also need a Hayward Super Seal Kit when you replace your motor. We put together this Video on How to Replace a Pool Pump Motor which you may find helpful when you tackle this project.

Time to change my pool pump motor. Have a Pentair WhisperFlo with a Century motor currently (models for both attached). I have a leak between the two; most likely, it is getting hot and the seals are failing. Not sure until I get it apart; but figured just put a variable speed on while it is apart. Is this the variable speed model I am looking for?
Hi Matt, Thanks for the photos those were helpful. You will actually need the 1.65 HP Square Flange Variable Speed Motor for your Whisperflo. You will also need this Pentair Whisperflo Seal Kit

Hello,
I'm looking to change my pool pump motor to save on my power bill. I'm currently running an Emerson Motor (Model Number: K63CXEPY-4766); HP 1.0; S.F. 1.40 RPM 3450. 1) Will this V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56 J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU work as a replacement? 2) If so, what other (kits/adaptors) will I need? 3) Also, the cement pad is cracked, does this motor come with shims for leveling? Please advise.
Thank you,
Ed
Yes, this would be the correct variable-speed motor to replace your current Emerson motor. We recommend replacing the seals and gaskets which you can view by clicking here as they are the first items listed on the parts list for either a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool. And yes these variable-speed motors come with rubber boots that may assist in leveling.

Hi Mr C. Yes you can use the motor this page for the pump in your photos. You will also need this Hayward Super II Seal Kit to determine if a new impeller will be needed then could you pull the part # off of your current impeller this should be a SP part # embossed in your impeller.

Hi guys, I just installed the V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU, I can't get it to prime (30+ tries). The pump is draining the basket, which I keep refilling but it will not prime? My old single speed pump would prime right away after I pulled the filter out and replaced it.
Reply
Hi Steve, I'm not sure if you had a chance to watch our Video on How to Prime a Pool Pump but it goes through a lot of different techniques to get the pump primed. I would start off by watching that video and trying the different items suggested there. If that does not work then please post back to this thread.

Hello,
My pool pump motor died and I would like to replace it with a variable speed pump. My current pump is a Century Serial#13615CH, Part 0-193993-05. Would this be a suitable variable speed replacement for my pump motor? If so can I keep the same impeller?
Thanks!

Hi Mac, You would actually need the square flange motor which is listed here 1.65 HP Square Flange Variable Speed Motor. If you go with that motor then you will not need to replace your current impeller.

Would this work with my hayward super II pump with this motor that was a replacement for Century B977 (I purchased the B977, but this is what they sent). It only lasted 2 years. I generally run the motor on high just long enough to skim or vacuum, then on low for the vast majority of the time.

I have Hayward EcoStar Model SP3400VSP. Is this motor compatible? Just had local pool store diagnose that the ball bearings are going bad, due to the whirring noise it is making. Do you send instructions on how to remove replace?
Hi, Michael. This ECM16CU motor is NOT compatible with the EcoStar pump without changing the impeller reducing the overall performance of the pump. If the Drive Assembly still works, you can replace just the Motor Assembly - SPX3400Z1ECM or replace it with the ECM27SQU.
Reply
Hi. I have a Hayward Super Pump II, SP3010X152AZ 1.5 HP with SP1610Z2MC 1.5-.25 HP SF 1.0 dual speed.
Is the ECM16CU suitable? Swimpure SWG.
Control panel has a circular pull tab primary timer; secondary a dip switch for High Speed. Hi & Lo slide switches for Auto/Off/Manual. From the diagram, looks like I just need to disconnect LOAD 4. Should the timer cycle the power to the pump or is continuous best?
Alternatively, would STS1152 be a direct replacement? Thank you.
Hi, Glenn. Yes, this ECM16CU motor is a suitable replacement. You will use the Single Speed Pump Wiring Diagram, have the motor power on/off using the timer and program the speed and duration on the motor's interface. The STS1102RV1 is the correct direct replacement. It has a HP of 1.0/.16 with a S.F of 1.5. I will also recommend getting the Hayward Super II Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT2 or GOKIT2SALT.
Reply
Thanks Lennox. A couple of other questions: My SWG was wired to the incoming hots so it it powered on all the time except when the breaker to the pump is thrown. Should I rewire it to the same "Single Pump" load terminals or leave as-is? Would this drop the voltage from 220 to 110? I've heard that the flow sensor should not be relied upon as the primary on/off for the chlorine generation. What is the shipping weight? The shipping address I would prefer to use has a limit of 70 lbs.
Reply
Glenn, You can use the same load for the pump to the SWG if it can be wired for 230 volts also.

I am replacing my 1.5 THP Hayward Super Pump (SP2610x15) with this motor. When taking my old motor out, I noticed everything inside (impeller, diffuser, seal plate, etc) needs replacing too. I’m torn between what impeller size I need. The spx2610 or spx2615 for this new Vgreen 1.65 motor?

Are these pumps energy star rated, there are some rebates in my area if I switch my Hayward Super Pump to an energy star version. Thanks
Reply
Hi, Steven. Motors are not Energy Star rated, only complete pumps. The Super Pump VS Variable Speed Pump 230V - W3SP2603VSP is energy star rated and will qualify for rebates.
Reply
The Hayward Super Pump VS system (that is Energy Star rated and qualifies for a rebate) uses the same pump components as the Super Pump, with the only difference being the VS motor and controller. Why then would adding the VGreen 165 to an existing Super Pump not satisfy any Energy Star requirements for a rebate?

Fritz, EnergyStar only provides this Certification to whole goods, not parts. Motors are considered replacement parts.

Is this a direct replacement for (my model), Century A. O. Smith B977?
Hi Jerry, Your B977 motor has a total horsepower of 1.95 where this motor on the high end can go up to 1.65 HP so just a little lower than your current pump. If you could supply us with your pump information and pump model information than we could determine if we can make this motor work for your current set up. The pump information should be able to be found on the plastic side of the pump near where you access the pump basket. To supply this information click the reply link below, also if you could send a few photos those are always helpful as well. Once we receive this information we can make a recommendation. Thanks so much!

Will this motor fit on a Sta-Rite Max E Pro pump? It will be replacing a Century Centurion 1HP motor CAT B2853.
Actually, you would need to use the model ECM16SQU and this motor has a 48 frame so please keep in mind that it may not rest on the pump base the same way that your current motor does. You may need to use a thicker motor pad or place something under the motor just for added support.

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.

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

Hi, Dara. This variable speed motor is not compatible with the Northstar pump. There is not a variable speed motor that will replace the USN1152.

I would like to replace my 1 speed motor to save money on electricity. Can this model replace a Century B849? The only other codes I see are as follows:

Pool size is 26,000 gallons.

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.

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 ?

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.

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 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.

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?

When starting at step one, is that the time every day that the motor will start?

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.

Yes, the 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Round Flange - ECM16CU is the correct replacement variable speed motor for the Hayward Super Pump. I would also recommend replacing your seals with the Tune Up Kit Hayward Super Pump - GOKIT3.

I will need the model of the pump that motor goes to and the distance from the pump to the main drain in the pool to figure out the flow rate. From the flow rate I will be able to tell you the turnover rate.

The UST 1152 replacement motor on my Hayward Super Pump SP-2610-X15 got an open on the windings. I want to replace it with the ECM16CU. The voltage at the motor terminals is 244V. I see the nameplate rating for the ECM16CU is 208-230V. I had the power company check to see if the voltage from the service transformer was too high. They checked it and said 244V is within their allowed tolerance. Is the ECM165CU okay to run continuously at 244V? Thanks for your help.

Hi Jay, Yes, the ECM165CU can run continuously at 244V. The allowable range for voltage is +/- 10% of the valve shown on the motor label. So the upper voltage limit is 253V.

Hi Ken, The ECM16CU variable speed motor can replace your C48K2N143B1 motor. It can also be wired to the ProLogic controller but only allow you to tell the motor when to turn on/off, which is just supplying power to the motor. You will have to ue the on board interface to set the speed and speed duration. The STS1072R would be the recommended dual speed motor to work with the ProLogic system. Which ever motor you decide to get we also recommend getting a Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit GOKIT3 or GOKIT3SALT.

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.

I just purchased a v-green 165 motor. The instructions for the 270 are very clear on how to wire it to my SWG so it will only come on at a set time with a set flow rate. I do not see this info for the 165 controller. Any suggestions? My current controller is all analog. I guess I could wire my SWG on a separate timer, but I would prefer to set it up like described on the 270 (direct from the controller on the motor)
Reply
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.

My motor electronics died (due to my own faulty installation) and I needed a new lump. I’d been seeing your reviews and videos for a couple of years and decided to give you a try. And boy was I happy to find out that you were in my own backyard in Florida.
That meant super fast shipping and I had my new motor in only a couple of days. Since I was replacing the old motor with the exact same new motor - installation was a breeze. I just opened up YouTube, followed the instructions and in no time - my pump was back running exactly the way it should.
I pulled off the old motor, removed electrical connection, and that was the hardest part since my wires were really tight.
I did the whole thing in reverse, added new rings, lined everything, reconnected electrical, programmed the motor. Perfect and easy install. I couldn’t be happier. Oh yeah - the price was great too!!

I replaced the pump motor with an identical V-green 165 since I was quite happy with it. I used the step by step instructions in INYO site. Only questions were about connecting power as the instructions say connect black to one terminal number and red to the other one, however the picture shows the opposite.
When installing the white impeller ring in the Hayward super 2 pump I noticed that it fits loosely, perhaps because the impeller is old and it wore out. I wonder if it is needed at all.
Now I need to find and fix the housing leak...

Hello All,
Replacing the motor is a must to save money over buying a new pump all together. It is fairly easy for the mechanically savvy.
Turn off the power! Remove the back cover and disconnect the power leads. ***If you are not comfortable working with electricity, then STOP now! You should have an electrician or pool repair company do this repair!
There are 4 bolts on the motor mount that will need to be removed to release the motor from the pump housing. Then you can remove the motor from housing. You will need a 7/16 on the motor shaft on one end and then unscrew the impeller off the other end. You will then find that there are 4 more bolts holding the motor mount to the face of the motor.
I had to soak my bolts in PB Blaster overnight they were stuck pretty good. Once I was able to remove them, I used anti-seize paste when I reinstalled them into the new motor.
The one trick is making sure to install a new shaft seal, or you will have a leaky pump. Take care not to touch that with your dirty fingers. I use the paper that comes in the box to press the seal in place.
Everything goes back together in reverse order of taking apart :) wink. Further, there are lots of Youtube videos that you can watch for a more detail step by step.

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.

(5 out of 5 stars) Great replacement for single speed motors
Reviewed By: ()
I used this motor for 4 years and it works great. Easy to program and low noise. I replaced an old fixed speed pump and have noticed a nice difference in electricity. Recently I had to replace it since a pump leak subjected the motor housing and electronics to continued exposure to pool water and it corroded. I replaced it with another identical one. I wish it was more resistant to pool water for these cases. INYO installation instructions are very easy to follow. This motor was a much better economic choice than a 2-speed motor plus a new timer, and I get better efficiency. I connected it to a Hayward super 2 pump.
