We have a Hayward Super II Pump Model# K45N2N104 S/N 8B05, 2hp, 1.55KW, 230 volts, RPM 3450 56J Frame. Can I purchase a ECM27CU for this? It doesn't look like a fit for the round flange. I know it should be the right motor, but I just want to be sure before I purchase it. Can I return it if for some reason it doesn't fit?

3 questions, I think: 1) Can this motor replace the AO Smith SK1152? (1.5 HP) I don't see a compatibility list, or I missed it while searching. 2) Can you point all of us to a guide to choosing between the 2.7 and 1.65 HP versions--maybe a GPM rating or something of that sort. 3) Do you carry a pump/motor combo that uses this motor? If it doesn't fit my pump, I think I want this motor anyway. Thanks!
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/30/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi James, This motor will not replace the SK1152 motor because the SK1152 shaft is keyed. The 2.7 motor has higher total hp and an interface with additional features. We have the PureLine PL2606 and the Jacuzzi 94026140 pumps that uses this motor.

Hi I have a Hayward SP2607X10 with a 1HP motor C48K2N143B1. The motor housing is in bad shape – I can’t decide if I need a replacement motor or motor and pump – the pump appears fine. I’m clear that I will to move to a variable speed motor for energy saving. I’m not wedded to Hayward. Will switching to a PureLine PL2605 pump provide me with anything different than if I went with the V-Green ECM27CU motor and stayed with the existing pump? Thanks, Lee.

Hello Lee, For a brand new SP2607X10 it would be 419.00, now for the motor would be 129.99, then the seal kit would be 37.95, and the housing would be 189.99 so if you are looking at all vs the whole pump; I would go with full pump.  You would be replacing the motor, seals, housing. Still if the housing is the problem then that is just 189.99.

Hi, Tony. Yes, this ECM27CU motor is compatible with your Jandy pump. Changing the impeller will not reduce the pump noise. Th is motor use 2.4 kW at max RPM's, so it will cost $1.54 to operate at $0.08 / kWh.

    I have seen a recommendation to use the Tune Up Kit Hayward Supper II-GOKIT2 and also the Impeller 2.5 THP-SPX3021C. I believe both are Hayward brands. How is this used with the ECM27CU Century Motor if not a Hayward brand? Lastly, I don't understand how a variable pump saves money. If used at lower RPMs doesn't it take longer for the water to circulate effectively requiring a longer time and hence just as much energy? This may require a phone call, if so, let me know and I will call you.

      Tony, Motors can be used on several different pumps, Kits and Impeller are used on specific pumps. Your pump uses the Jandy JHP / JHPU Series Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT77. A variable speed pump save energy When the RPM's are reduced water flow is reduced, however, the energy used is less. In some case, the extended run time still will be less.

My system is setup for dual phase, does it matter that this is single phase?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/25/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Sean, In the USA there is typically Single-phase and Three-phase electric. Single-phase electrical is normally used in residential applications and Three Phase is used in Commercial Applications. I'm not aware of Dual-Phase. Is it possible you are meaning Daul-Speed meaning your pump runs on a high and low Horse Power? Please click the reply link below to give further clarification, thanks so much!

I have a Hayward SP3015X20AZ that was installed brand new in September 2019. It is the loudest motor I have ever owned, even louder than the old motor. What parts will I need to replace this with the V-Green 2.7 HP and can I expect it to be quieter than my current motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 3/28/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Dwight, Yes the Variable Speed will be so much quieter. I have one on my pool and when it was first installed I thought it had quit running because I couldn't hear it. You would require 2.7 Variable Speed Motor listed on this page as well as Hayward Super II Seal Kit I would also suggest replacing your 2 HP Impeller with this 2.5 HP Impeller so you can take advantage of the higher HP range of this Variable Speed Motor.

You would need to order The V-Green Automation Adapter provides the ability to operate a V-Green motor with a 3rd party automation system such as the Hayward Goldline Pro Logic, Pentair Easytouch, Jandy Aqualink, and Intermatic controls. This will allow the user to control and experience the full variable speed capability of a V-Green product through an existing automation system. V-Green Automation Adapter Kit - 2517501-001.

I have a Hayward Super II pump, model #SP3015EEAZ, and a newer replacement A.O.Smith/Century motor, model # ST1302V1, 3.0 HP and SF=1.0. I had upgraded/upsized the impeller, diffuser, and seal plate when the original 1 1/2 HP motor was replaced by the newer 3.0 HP A.O. Smith motor about 5 years ago. Would I need to change out these components again when I install a new V-Green ECM27CU 2.7HP variable speed motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 4/9/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Anthony, I took a look at your last order and the 3 HP impeller you have would be just a little too strong for this motor. To use this variable speed motor on this page you will need to swap out your 3 HP impeller with this 2.5 HP Super II Impeller Kit also when you replace the motor you will need this Hayward Super II Seal Kit. This variable-speed motor will save you a ton on your operational cost compared  to your 3 HP single speed motor.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the question and sorry about getting disconnected from chat. Do you have an automated control system which controls all of your pool equipment something like the Jandy Aqua Link which has an indoor controller? This will be important for us to know so we can suggest the proper items.

       Reply

      • Commented on 4/29/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

        Hi Robert, On board controller on the motor will allow you to automate the pump. For example you set when the pump comes on and off and you can automate at what speeds the pump runs at during different times of the day. If you want full automation where you would control things like your pool lights, valves, heater, spa, spa blower, etc.. from inside your house then that does get quite a bit more expensive. To quote we would need to know if you have a pool only or pool and spa combo. And which equipment you would like to control.

Hello Sunny.   The Century Motors V-Green 2.7 HP Variable Speed Motor ECM27CU is a compatible replacement for the Hayward Super Pump SP2615X20.  The flexible programming options of the ECM27CU will allow you to tailor a running schedule to address the two-story solar usage and decrease RPMs to conserve energy in times when solar activation is not desired.  The fact that you have a 2.0 HP motor currently installed indicates a minimum horsepower required to send water through the two-story solar panels.  It is recommended that the motor shaft seal, seal plate gasket, and diffuser o-ring be replaced concurrent with the new motor.  The GOKIT3 contains the necessary parts to complete this project.  Tune Up Kit Hayward Super Pump - GOKIT3
