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.

Does this motor replace the SP3220Z2BE 2.0/0.25 2 speed motor? and what is the Hi Lo switch

Hello Roderick. The Hayward Pool Products Motor model SPX3220Z2BER is the replacement for the Hayward Motor model SP3220Z2BE. The referenced Hi Lo Switch is a manual toggle switch installed in the rear motor cover that allows the manual changing of motor speeds. Toggle Switch There are several different methods of installing the motor for dual speed function. If your current motor does NOT have the toggle switch, it is installed with an alternative option for dual speed function. The GOKIT81 contains the necessary parts to complete the motor change.

Will this replace the discontinued SPX3220Z1BER motor?

Hi Braden, this is a 2-speed motor and your SPX3220Z1BER is a single-speed motor, so the Century 2.0 HP Square Flange 48Y Full Rate Motor - SQ1202 is a better (and less expensive) replacement for you. Let us know what the model of the pump is that the motor attaches to so we can recommend a new motor shaft seal or tune-up kit for a leak-free installation.

Hello Ranzau, the correct replacement motor for your motor model SP3215Z1M is the B589. We also recommend replacing the seals and gaskets when replacing a pool pump motor. Here is our "Finding the Tune-Up Kit for Your Pool Pump" guide that should assist you with that.
