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.

Can you direct me to the proper hi low switch for this motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/18/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Unfortunately the manufacturer does not offer the switch for the 2 speed 220v motors any longer. If you already have a 220 volt timer (on/off) you would need an Intermatic T106R to switch from high to low speed. If you do not have a timer currently you would need the T10604R which is a 220v on/off timer and a high/low timer.

How can I tell whether or not my motor is a dual or single speed?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/18/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Most dual speed motors will have a toggle switch that will allow you to adjust the motor speed to either high or low. Another way to tell if your motor is dual speed is by looking at the RPM's on the motor specifications label. If there are two RPM's listed such as: 1725/3450 then motor is dual speed. If there is only one RPM, then motor is single speed.

My old motor's bearings were gong out.

Written on 1/22/2023 by Guest

Investigate which motor to order - your website was very helpful. I would recommend using your how to videos. This made the replacement seamless. Got the motor and disassembled to old pump and found out I needed to order a new seal plate and a couple of bolts. Reassembled the pump and was off to the races. Very quiet now!!

Written on 5/26/2022 by Guest

This was an easy job
I call the repair guy to put the motor on. He tells me that it was going to cost me $1500.00 to install the new motor. So i bought the motor from you guys [INYO } went to Youtube and followed directions. It was easy to put it on.
Save a ton of money.
thanks guys

Shaft broken

Written on 8/12/2019 by Guest

I separated the pump housing from the motor, disconnected the power supply, and removed the old motor. With the new motor ready, I reconnected the pump plate to the motor, installed a new shaft seal, installed the pump housing, reattached the pump impeller, and reattached the pump to the motor. Once all the bolts were tightened, I reconnected the power supply using the existing wires. The new motor was much quieter than the old one. I suspect the shaft seal was bad on the old pump from the factory. It was noisy and the shaft ended up rusting/breaking right at the shaft seal.
