What is Service Factor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/11/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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

A  Answered on 1/12/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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  Answered on 1/12/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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.

I'm trying to replace the motor on my pool pump but all these numbers and abbreviations on the motor label are really confusing me. What do they mean?

Replacing a pool pump motor is not as difficult as it seems. You can try looking here. If you need help figuring out what the information on your label means. If you are still having difficulty figuring it out you can call us at our toll free number or you can send us a photo of your motor label here.

I just finished replacing the shaft seal on my booster pump. As soon as I turned the pump on water was leaking from the shaft seal. Is it defective or am I doing something wrong?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/16/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Depending on the model, the installation of a booster pump shaft seal can be slightly different than a pool pump shaft seal. Some booster pump and pool pump shaft seals require that a silicone sealant be used on the outer areas of the metal seat of the shaft seal. The seal will need to be lightly hammered into the body of the pump. You can use a 1 inch PVC coupling or a piece of 1 1/4 inch PVC pipe and a rubber mallet. This procedure will apply to any pool pump or booster pump using a >PS-1000 style shaft seal.

What is the difference between the B2841 and B2848 motors?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/7/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Brian M.

The difference between the B848 and the B841 is the amps it takes to run them. They are both Energy Efficient motors and both have a Total Horse Power ( horse power times service factor ) of 1.65 hp. The B841 is just slightly more efficient by running at an amp usage of 7.4-7.8 at 115v or 14.8 at  230v. The B848 will run at 8 amps at 115v and 16 amps at 230v.

For the seals and gaskets I would need to know your pool pump manufacture name and model # as I was unable to cross reference any of the part #'s you supplied. Based on the part #'s you supplied I believe this is most likely a Sta-Rite pump, model names for Sta-Rite would be Max-E-Glas, Max-E-Glas II, Dura-Glas, Dura-Glas II, C Series, CC series, etc.. Also is the strainer housing plastic, cast iron or bronze? Please email us back with this information and/or any pictures of your pump, as this will help us determine the needed seals and gaskets.

Hi Dennis, Yes this would be the correct replacement for your 7-168453 motor. The reason this motor shows 1 HP and yours shows 1-1/2 HP is that this motor is a full rate motor and your motor is an uprate motor and a 1 HP full rate motor is identical to a 1-1/2 HP uprate motor.

The motors can be 56Y and 48Y swapped with no problem. The difference between the 56Y and the 48Y motor is the width of the barrel, the 56Y motor is wider then the 48Y motor. Sometimes when going from a 48Y to a 56Y, the base has to be cut to fit the larger motor.

This is a correct motor replacement for you. 10 years is a good life span for a motor. On average a total horse power of approximately 1.5 as this motor has, is good enough for a solar system.

Yes, this motor is compatible with the Pentair Challenger pump. The shafts seal is not included with this motor; the correct pump shaft seal for the Challenger is the PSR-200

Looking for a replacement motor for a Pentair Whisperflow. Unit says it is a 1.5 HP 1.10 SF making it 1.65 HP. The part number appears to be either 7-177475-20 or 7-177475-28. Concerned about my motor burning quickly (5-6 yrs) and want to keep the expense down. Better to get higher or lower SF motor? What do you suggest? Also - I see various "tune-up" kits (gaskets, etc.) but have read some folks report the parts were incorrect in the kit. Need recommendation based on your motor suggestion.

There is not much difference besides the amount of amps each one uses. The B2848 is the standard motor that uses 8 amps at 230 volts and the B2841 is the energy efficient motor that uses 7.4 amps on 230 volts. So with that specific motor there really is not a difference as far as energy saving is concerned.

Hi Sam, Your best bet is going to be to go with the ECM16SQU Variable Speed Replacement Motor this motor allows you to bump your HP up to 1.65 for demanding things like spa jets, vacuuming, waterfalls, solar, etc.. but for the majority of the time your pump is used for general pool filtration. For general pool filtration you can dial this pump down to a very low HP and this is where you will see a huge operational cost savings, up to 70% savings. You will also need this Whisperflo Seal Kit.

This system has always been louder operating than the old Heyward and runs hotter. Right now just replacing the capacitor. The motor just hums when attempting to start. What do you recommend?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/18/2019 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Robert H. I recommend replacing the capacitor and the seals. The capacitor size is based on the one you currently have, the replacement seals are all listed on the Waterco Supastream Pump Parts Diagram page.

Hi, Travis. This B848 motor can be used as a more powerful replacement since the SF is 1.65 while yours is 1.25.  You will actually need the B2853 or the PL2853 motor.

These steps can all be found in our How To Use a Multimeter to Test a Pool Pump Motor - VoltageHow to Test a Pool Pump Capacitor and How To Use a Multimeter to Test a Pool Pump Motor - Winding Resistance guides.

          Hi Dan, Typically when you replace your motor if you use your old shaft seal then it will not mate properly with the new motor and will cause leaking. The motor you referenced only fits on a few pumps. Please take a look at the links to the following pumps and let us know which one you have Pentair WhisperFlo or Pentair SuperFlo or Pentair Challenger. There should be a label on your pump that gives the pump model or by looking at the links above you should be able to identify your pump.

Can you please tell me what kind of seals should I buy with this pump (B2848). I'm replacing my old B2848 which is now very noisy. Once I replace the pump I would like to keep the old one and replace the bearings to make it usable again. Which ones should I buy and is there anything else I need for this job? Thanks a lot.
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/28/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi, yes this B848 is the correct replacement motor for your motor. When replacing a pool motor we do suggest a Seal Kit. Could you send us a few photos of your pump so we can suggest the proper seal kit? If so then please take a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation for your seal kit. We do carry the bearings for your old motor and you will require 2 of these 6203 Pool Motor Bearings. We do have this Video On How to Replace Pool Motor Bearings which you might find helpful.

I was told that this motor would be the proper replacement for the 177475 Pentair motor on our 340039 Pentair Pump. However, the horsepower appears to be 1.0 rather than 1.5. Wouldn't that make this pump less powerful than the one we had before? If so, is there a different replacement with similar or more power that would still work with our pump?

 Reply

A  Answered on 12/23/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Rich N.

Hi Brian, all pool motors spin at the same speed, so a lower horsepower motor on your WF-28 will only burn the motor out since it will still be trying to drive the impeller that was designed for a 2HP motor.  Your options would be to replace the motor and change the impeller (scroll down to see the flow chart on this webpage for the difference from 2HP to 1HP) or you could get a variable-speed motor so you could choose whatever flow/speed you want.  The variable-speed motor is more expensive but, when properly set up, would pay for itself over its lifetime by saving you on your utility bill.

Hi Donald, Title 20 requires any motor over .75 horsepower to either be dual- or variable-speed to help save on electric use, so we are unable to ship you the identical replacement B2848 motor.  Your Title 20-compliant options are this dual-speed B982 motor or this variable-speed ECM16SQU motor.  Note that both motors require 230 volts to operate and your old motor only required 115 volts, so be sure you have sufficient power at your equipment pad.
