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.

Hi Jesse, You would need (1) 304 Bearing (6304) for the Shaft End and (1) 203 Bearing (62032RS) for the Opposite Shaft End. It is also recommended that you replace the shaft seal and the o-rings within the pump housing.

Is this motor already preset for 230 volts or is there a switch that has to be placed for 230 volts? Also I have a red, black and green ground coming to the motor. Would the Red and the black wires go to L1 and L2? The reason I ask is because internally there is a white wire on L2. The terminals in the motor are "B", "L1", "L2", and "A". Your help is greatly appreciated.

A  Answered on 8/31/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Ed, The motor comes set for 230 volts. When wiring the motor for 230 volts both lines are115 volts so it will not matter if the "red" or "black" wire goes to "L1" or "L2". The "green" would go to the ground.

I have a Pentair WhisperFlo system but my pool guy replaced my motor with a Century B855. It has shot craps and I'm finding my salt water generator has caused the cover plates to literally disintegrate. What Whisperflo motor replaces a Century B855. Also the seal plate, impeller are brittle as well. Thanks

So these seals can easily be compromised if touched, wet or dirtied on the ceramic sides of the seal. You may be able to clean it off with rubbing alcohol and a clean cloth.

Unfortunately the B855 is not a compatible replacement for your B129. Please click here to be directed to your single speed model motor replacement.

Hi. Does the B855 Centurion motor have a start capacitor in addition to the run capacitor? And if so do you stock start capacitors? As I understand it the run capacitor is mounted on the top, (under the steel hood or cowling). (My problem is the motor is reluctant to start but if i turn the motor drive shaft at the rear of the motor it spins up and runs fine) Thanks.

Yes you can but you may have a little bit of re-plumbing as the plumbing ports are not in the exact same location. You will also lose a little bit of flow by going down from 2 HP to 1.5 HP so if your pump is powering spa jets, water features or solar you may not want to consider the downgrade in HP.

Hello, yes this is the correct replacement motor for your motor included in your photo. 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 or quickest provide them using our live online chat feature. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation for your seal kit.

      Yes, however for your particular pump model there is no seal kit. You would actually need key numbers 13, 15 on this parts diagram, and also the shaft seal is part number 5020-087 as the needed seals are sold individually.

Is this motor a compatible replacement for a Pentair Whisperflo 2hp, WF-28, 011774? Thanks!

A  Answered on 4/19/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Matt S.

The correct motor replacement is the Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B855. The necessary gasket kit for the Pentair / Purex Whisperflo is the GOKIT32 or the GOKIT32SALT.

I am looking at your b855 pump motor (part num 0-177897-22) . my issue is I think I have read where you should also replace the seal , however the label on the pump is not readable. I need to order the seal kit and the correct motor.

 Reply

A  Answered on 4/23/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Craig C.

Hello David.  Thank you for the pictures.  From the pump lid, C3-139P1, I was able to determine that you have a Stay-rite Dura-Glas or Sta-rite Max-E-Glas.  If you currently have a 2 horsepower motor, the Century B855 is the appropriate replacement.  A new shaft seal should be installed when the motor is replaced.  I would suggest a tune-up kit, GOKIT6, which also contains rubber gaskets and o rings that should also be replaced.  The GOKIT54 can also be used by simply removing the copper cone insert from the seal plate.  At times, working with the copper cone insert can be problematic.  I would recommend the GOKIT54.  Tune Up Kit Sta-Rite Dura-Glas & Max-E-Glas Pump 1998 To Present - GOKIT54  Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B855

I do not recommend changing your motor from 2HP up to 3HP.    You also need to change out other internal parts like the impeller.  You also need to know if you pool filter can handle the new GPM of the 3HP motor.  I would suggest buying a 3HP pump and making sure you have a compatible filter if you go this route.  If not I would stick with the 2HP.

My 1st y56y 1.5hp AO Smith lasted 10 years. The 2nd one was used but had the bearings replaced and lasted about 2 years. Recently I bought a new motor from Amazon and it is super quiet but also super underpowered and also it shuts off when the temp outside reachs 90° My questions are: can I goto a 2 horsepower? is it common for these new China motors to be so weak? Also I have the spring and ceramic seal but I'm looking for the gaskets for the impeller and the pump? Thanks

 Reply

A  Answered on 6/15/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Danny R.

It is possible to go up in HP, but I do not recommend it.  Pumps are made for a certain HP.  So the internals like the impeller and diffuser are made for that HP.  So all of those would need to be replaced.  You also would need to make sure your filter can handle the GPM of the new HP pump.  So you might have to upgrade your pool filter.As far as motors go from China.  Most motors come from China nowadays.  The issue is buying off of Amazon and not knowing who is selling that motor.  The sellers on Amazon want cheap products.  We have found a lot of issues with the swimming pool pumps, filters, and motors being sold on Amazon

Will this motor replace my current motor? Is there an option that is priced lower? We rarely use the pool, no kids or pets. Do you sell a tune up kit? How do I connect it to the Jandy aqua purelink control board?

Hello Jeff.  The Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Full Rate Motor - B2748 is the correct motor replacement for the Pentair WhisperFlo model 011515 (WFE-8).  The WFE-8  is a 2.0 HP Full Rate Pump (2.6 THP), the B2748 is rated 2.6 THP.  The Tune Up Kit Pentair/Purex Whisperflo - GOKIT32 contains the necessary seals and gaskets to complete the motor replacement.  The Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 56Y Full Rate EE Motor - B2843 is a compatible energy-efficient 2.6THP replacement motor.  The cost differential between the B2748 and the B2843 would be recouped in approx. 110 days based on an 8-hour/day run cycle.

What is the GPM flow rate for this unit. Thanks
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/5/2022 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Hello J, So flow rates will vary depending on the pump housing model that this motor will be mounted to. Here is the Hayward Super pump which uses essentially the same type of motor and and the Pentair Superflo that also does and you can view the flow charts to see the difference. Essentially you will want to confirm your front pump housing model in order to look up its particular flow chart document to confirm its specific flow rate.

I am replacing the motor on a Century two speed 2.0 hp with a y56y frame. What gaskets, seals, etc. do I also heed to order
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/8/2023 by InyoPools Product Specialist Rich N.

Hi Stephen, the seal kits are specific to the pump and not the motor, so let us know what the model of the pump is that the motor attaches to (feel free to send pictures of it and any labels on it to us at upload@inyopools.com ) so we can recommend a new motor shaft seal or tune-up kit for a leak-free installation.
