What is Service Factor?
Reply
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.

My motor is shows same type (CX), FR (P56J), Hz (6), Insulation Class B same as the Motor 56j Trhd Up 2.5 hp (b231se). But mine is a Code H (not E). Also shows 230/115 volts and Amps of "SF 9.2/18.4". I know my home electrical wiring is 115 volts (not 230). Can the Motor 56j (b231se) be hooked up to 115 volt system?
Reply
No, the b231se can only be hooked up to 230v.

WHICH TUNE UP KIT SHOULD I PURCHASE WITH THIS PUMP MOTOR?
Reply
So tune up kits are actually based on the front pump housing model name or number that the motor bolts to. If you can provide that to us then we should be able to locate the correct kit for you. If that information is not legible on the pump then you can always email us pictures of it to upload@inyopools.com so we can further assist.
