A.O. Smith 2 H.P Round Flange Dual Speed Full Rate Motor Review

Very good experience. I was able to use the web site to locate what I thought was the correct motor. I then sent an e-mail to confirm my selection. I received a prompt response to my e-mail confirming my selection. I then ordered the motor (and some seal parts) and recieved them within the 2-day window as promised. Very good experience overall!

Tip to get the impeller off the old pump moter: use a 7/16" open ended wrench - it slides in near the capacitor on the electrical side... rotate the impeller until the wrench slides into place at the end of the shaft and then one person holds the motor and the wrench while a 2nd person loosens the impeller off with bare hands by turning the impeller counter clock-wise.

After having my pool pump for 7 years the motor finally went bad. I was debating weather to purchase a whole new pump or just replace the motor. I decided to just replace the motor and I am glad I went this route. The installation was easy and it saved me half the price then if I went with a completely new pool pump.
