I have a Hayward sp2607x10 and replacing the motor with the V-Green 165(part-ECM16CU) what are the correct parts needed for the new motor, example: rebuild kit, gaskets, impeller, etc. ?
Reply
Hello Robert. The Super Pump™ Style Impeller 1.5 THP would be the compatible replacement impeller with the V-Green 1.65 ECM16CU if you wished to incrementally increase the water flow rate (circulation GPM). The existing SP2607X10 impeller is also compatible, the ECM16CU installation would have no effect on the water flow rate under that scenario.

4 years ago i replaced a single speed motor on my hayward superpump with a vgreen 165. Please see attached pics.The vgreen worked ok for 4 years but has suddenly become very noisy and seems ready to fail. I am willing to try another vgreen `165 , looks like i need round flange. My question is whether i should get the upgrade kit with new impeller, because i did not change the impeller 4 years ago and i don't know if it was wrong size contributing to failure of the 4 year old vgreen.
Hello Robert. The V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU would be the correct variable speed motor replacement for the Hayward Super Pump. The Tune Up Kit Hayward Super Pump - GOKIT3 contains the seals and gaskets necessary to complete the new motor installation. The decision to change the Impeller is dependent upon the part number of the current Impeller. Impeller and motor are matched by total horsepower (THP) rating. The ECM16CU THP rating is 1.65. If your current Impeller is stamped with part number SP-2600-B, SPX1610-C, or SPX1611-C, an Impeller change is not required.

Hi there,
Could you recommend the proper VS motor and seal kit, if needed, for a Hayward Century 48L2N134B3 1.5hp. Also I would like to know if with this new pump if I should set the max rev speed to a certain limit knowing that I got a sand filter with a 53 GPM all connected with 1.5 inches pipes.
Thank you,
Hello Eric. The Hayward Super Pump VS Motor Upgrade Kit - 1.65HP - MKIT3VS16 provides the most economical means to transition the Hayward Super Pump from single to variable speed. The MKIT3VS16 includes the Century 1.65 VS Motor, 1.5THP Impeller, shaft seal, and necessary gaskets & o-rings to complete the project. The current Hayward Century Motor model 48L2N134B3 has a total horsepower rating of 1.65, identical to the Century VS Motor. The impeller size is not changing, alleviating the maximum RPM concern. The programming flexibility of the VS motor will allow a fine-tuning of run time, flow rate, and water quality equation.

Hello, I am looking at this pump to replace an A.O. Smith Century 2-speed 1.5/.25 HP, 1.47 SF, Y56Y Frame, 3450/1725 RPM, 230 Volts, 11.0/4.0 Amps. It's connected to a Whisperflo Model # WFEDS-6 Serial # 1-20-D02. Is this the best option? What else if anything would I need? I believe I will need some additional seals for the flange and shaft as well. Thanks!
Reply
Hello Jeff. The Whisperflo Pool Pump model WFEDS-6 has a total horsepower (THP) of 2.2. The Century Motors V-Green 2.7 HP Variable Speed Motor model ECM27SQU is the better replacement with a THP of 2.7. ECM27SQU The WFEDS-6 pump impeller is rated for 2.2 THP, dropping the THP to 1.65 as with the ECM16SQU will place unwanted stress on the motor. Depending on the flow requirements of your pool, you may be able to drop THP, dropping the flow rate. The drop in THP would necessitate a change in the impeller.

I have an irrigation booster pump which I want to swap out the existing single speed 1.5 motor to a VS so I get the energy savings and also a constant pressure. I have over 40 valves ranging from drip irrigation, lawn and orchard irrigation so the demand changes quite a bit depending on what is being watered. The existing pump has a working pressure of up to 80PSI. Do you have a "controller" that would increase the motor speed as the demand increases? Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank you

I have a Hayward SP3015 Super II 2-Horsepower Pool Pump. The pump bearings are shot. Will this VS pump be a suitable replacement? Which Seal kit would be used, GOKIT2?
Reply
Hi Chris, you would need to get the V-Green 2.7 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM27CU to replace the motor in your 2HP Super II pump or you risk burning it out prematurely. Motors need to be at least the same horsepower as the current one unless you also downsize the impeller and, sometimes, the diffuser. The GOKIT2 will be perfect for your Hayward Super II SP3000 Series pump.

How do I get the fan cover off to check propeller? Is it the allen wrench in the end of the fan cover?
Reply
Hi Daniel, the hex (Allen) head at the end of the motor is to hold the motor spindle steady while replacing the impeller. The end shroud for the fan is held on by a few hex head screws on the perimeter of the shroud (look on the side of the motor for them). Be sure to disconnect power to the motor before performing any service on it.

If you use the over ride input for a solar panel will it toggle off and on with the light sensor or will it set once and go back to program?
Reply
Hi David, the digital inputs (and the input for the Override function) have the highest priority so your solar controller should be able to turn the pump on to the override setting (or whatever step you choose) when the light sensor tells the controller to send the correct low voltage to the corresponding digital input on the pump. When the digital input signal voltage is removed the V-Green 165 will automatically start the 24-hour schedule at the beginning.

I have a 2006 1HP Jacuzzi Magnum Force pump (photos) on which the motor is failing. I’ve about decided to replace the motor with a VS motor rather than replacing the whole pump. I gather from an earlier answer that the V-Green ECM16U motor and GOKIT14 tuneup kit will fit my pump—correct? Could I install a 1.5HP impeller/diffuser for greater flow? Part numbers? Would this save energy by allowing the pump to run at lower RPMs?
Hi Ken, Yes this is the correct variable speed replacement and the GOKIT14 is correct. Yes we would also suggest this 1.5 HP Magnum Upgrade Kit which includes the impeller.

I replaced my original pool pump which I believe was a 1.5hp variable speed with an SP2615X20 and now this one has bearings going out. Will this pump work as a replacement? Also what kit would I need to rebuild the SP2615X20 with bearings and seals?

What about a rebuild kit for the SP2615X20 so that I can replace the bearings and seals? :)

The hydraulic kit comes with all of the seals.

Hi, will this motor fit my Hayward super pump vs
model SP2602VSP
Serial # 21121506006039003
Do I simply take the 4 bolts out and remove old motor and replace with this unit?
Thanks,

The SP2602VSP will actually require this 2.7 HP Vgreen VSP Motor and this Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit. Please note that if you have an Automated Control System like the Hayward Pro Logic then you can not control the RPM's of the motor directly from the Pro Logic as all of the programming will done directly on the on board controller of the motor. Here is a Video on How to Install the 2.7 VSP Motor

Thanks for the help. I just bought a house and I'm refreshing the pool equipment. I live in California so I think I need to switch to a variable speed pump motor (correct?) but also, I think my .75HP motor is underpowered for my 33,000 gal pool. Would this work as a replacement or should I be looking at something else?
Hi Andrew, Yes for California you will require a variable speed motor and this is the correct motor. When going to this Variable Speed Motor you will also rquire this 1.5 HP Drive Train Up Grade Kit for Hayward Super II

I have Hayward Super Pump with a century motor (10004713-001-001) with a control SN DET-0991601084. The Century i(NA48AB21A04) 1.65 THP Variable Speed ( V230, HZ 60). Can you recommend a replacement unit. It has a square flange.
Hi Todd, Our recommendation would be this ECM16CU Replacement Motor. Your motor is actually a round flange as the motor mounting plate makes it looks like a square flange. You can see this by viewing item #14 on this Hayward Super Pump VS Parts Diagram. When replacing your motor you will also need this Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit. One item of note if you are using an indoor control system for your pool equipment like the Hayward Pro Logic, Jandy Aqualink or Pentair EasyTouch then you may lose some control features with this new motor.

I have a clock timer that turns on and off every 12 hrs for my pump and salt chlorinator....if i continue to use the clock(off during the night hours) will i have to reset the pump programming each time the clock timer turns on the system?
Your external timer will ensure your motor starts at the same time every day. For example with a timer set to start a 10:00 am, the motor will act as if its power was interrupted until 10:00 and will start at the beginning of its 24-hour cycle. If the timer is set to go off at 6:00 pm, the motor will stop its current 24-hour cycle and stop running. When the timer comes on at 10:00 the next morning, the motor will start again at the beginning of its schedule.

Hi, Yes this is compatible with the Jandy Control system. Please note that all of the programming would be done on the onboard controller of the motor and then the Jandy AquaLink would just power the pump on and off and then the onboard programming would take over from there. You cannot dial in the exact RPM settings from the AquaLink controller this would be programmed at the motor.

Hello, I have recently replaced a failed bearing 1HP(1.13 SF) motor with the ECM16CU. The swap went fine and the motor seems to be running fine.
I noticed when I did the swap that I was running an SP-2605-C impeller. Would you recommend upgrading the impeller and would I need the entire
drivetrain upgrade kit or just the impeller?? The parts in front of the motor bracket were just replaced last year when the old impeller sheared away from the
threaded post.

Hi Andrew, We would suggest that you upgrade your impeller to this 1.5 HP Super Pump Style Impeller this will allow you to take advantage of the upper HP range of your variable speed motor. The entire drive train kit would not be needed.

Hello. Yes, the Century Motors V-Green 1.65 HP VS motor would be an excellent replacement for your single-speed motor. Additionally, you will need to replace the motor shaft seal, and the diffuser o-ring and seal plate gasket at the same time. Those parts are specific to the pump model and not the motor. If we can be of assistance in identifying those parts, please provide any pump model information you might discover or send pictures of the entire pump from different angles in response.

Thanks so much for your help! We have a Hayward SP2607X10 pump. We would appreciate your help identifying the additional parts we will need in order to replace our current pump with this one. Thanks!
Hi Molly we double-checked the HP rating of your 0-164303-23 motor and it matches with the high speed of this variable speed motor, which good news as it means you would not need to replace your diffuser and impeller. You would just need this Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit as well as the motor on this page.

The Impeller 1.0 THP - SPX2607C is used on several Hayward pumps. If you have it installed on the Max-Flo or Super Pump you can install the V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU (208-230 Volts Only), the ECM16CU can be used up to 1.65 total HP. You will need a seal kit, if you have the Max-Flo you will order the Tune Up Kit Hayward MaxFlo - GOKIT1 and Tune Up Kit Hayward Super Pump - GOKIT3 for the Super pump. There are salt shaft seal kits available too.

I do not recommend replacing the motor with the 1.65HP VS motor with this application, it will not provide enough flow for all of the bends in the plumbing. You would most likely require operating it at the max speeds to provide adequate flow. The Waterway Power Defender 165 Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP 230V - PD-VSC165 is a better choice of pumps. It has a 1.65VS motor but the pump is a heavier duty high flow pump that will provide much better flow rates than the Super pump. You must have 208-230 Volts for wiring, it will not operate with 110/115-120V.

My best recommendation is to replace the whole pump with the ones I reviewed above. If you are interested in replacing it with a VS motor it would be best to upgrade to the V-Green 2.7 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM27CU (208-230 Volts) with the Super Pump SP1600X- Series Drive Train Upgrade Kit 2 HP - SPX2615CKIT to provide adequate flow.

I just installed this motor, and it runs sweetly. Yes, it's loud at high rpms and super quiet at the lower.
I have 2 questions:
1) I have 3 steps programmed with speeds and times. Let's say that after step 2 starts with low rpms I want to manually increase or decrease the rpms this one time until that step's end time. How would I do that?
2) Is it possible to "fast forward" to another step? To jump from step 1 to 3, for example as step 1 is running.

Hi Zach, You can return the motor in new and unused condition within 30 days. Your current motor can be wired either 115v or 230v where the new motor can only be wired 230v. Most pools are set up for 230v however if your pool is set up for 115v then this new VSP motor would not work. You can take a voltmeter on the wires coming into your current pump to get a voltage reading and this will tell you if you have 115v or 230v.

No Time-of-Day clock built in??? This is going back 15 years in technology.

Hi Peter, for the 1.6 hp series no there is not but in the 2.7 hp model there is. The other option is to utilize the 24 hr time frame on the controller without actually needing a timer.

I currently have a Pentair Whisperflo WFE-4 (11513). The single speed motor needs replacing. Can I move to a variable speed motor and if so what would you suggest?
Thank you

Hi Josh, the correct replacement motor for the original WFE-4 pool pump is the ECM16SQU. You will also need a Pentair Whisperflo seal kit when you replace your motor. We put together this Video on How to Replace a Pool Pump Motor which you may find helpful when you tackle this project.

You have a video showing how to set the pump etc when it has the add on digital component. Where can I learn how this pump is set up when you have the version that does not come with the fancy digital programer.

We will need the current motor model number to review for the single speed or dual speed option that does not use an integrated controller and what timer you are wired to.

Will this fit a Jandy Stealth model SHPF 1.5 ? what are the available speeds? and what are the flo rates by speed with the Jandy pump?
Reply
The Jandy Stealth Pump 1.5 HP Full Rate - SHPF15 has a higher total HP of 2.25 you will need the V-Green 2.7 HP Square Flange 48Y Variable Speed Motor - ECM27SQU (208-230 Volts Only) it takes a square flange motor, not round. You will also need the shaft seal replaced, the Pump Shaft Seal 3/4" - R0445500 is the old style for pumps with serial numbers Before P08FF0001 or Jandy Pump Shaft Seal 5/8" - R0479400 new style for pumps with serial numbers P08FF0001 and later. The speeds for the motor can be viewed in the owners manual

Time to change my pool pump motor. Have a Pentair WhisperFlo with a Century motor currently (models for both attached). I have a leak between the two; most likely, it is getting hot and the seals are failing. Not sure until I get it apart; but figured just put a variable speed on while it is apart. Is this the variable speed model I am looking for?
Hi Matt, Thanks for the photos those were helpful. You will actually need the 1.65 HP Square Flange Variable Speed Motor for your Whisperflo. You will also need this Pentair Whisperflo Seal Kit

Have a 18x40, 22k gallon salt water pool. Switching from UST1102 to ECM16CU VS motor. 1) Currently have Intermatic timer controlling pump. If I switch to VS, would I just leave the timer on all the time and use the controls on the ECM16CU to cut on and off the pump? 2) Currently run the pump for 8-12 hours a day. How would I run ECM16CU for 16 hours and off 8 hours a day? Would you program stages 2&3 to 0 rpm? 3) Would running the ECM16CU at 1700 RPM be recommend for the Salt Chrorinator?
Reply
The V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU does no have an integrated timer to power on/off it is designed to operate 24/7 with the selected speeds or to wire it to an existing on/off time clock. I suggest the use of the on/off time clock to allow you to service equipment without having to start the motor from the beginning of the programmed speeds. If it takes 8-12 hours per day to circulate the water using the UST1102 1.0HP I would consider upgrading the impeller and possibly the diffuser for a high flow rate in gallons per minute to a 1.5HP to take advantage of the option with this VS motor. We will need the pump model name or number to assist with the parts and to answer the programming questions.

It sounds like you have not removed the motor from the pump housing, some seal plates can make the motor appear to have more than four bolts.

Hello,
I'm looking to change my pool pump motor to save on my power bill. I'm currently running an Emerson Motor (Model Number: K63CXEPY-4766); HP 1.0; S.F. 1.40 RPM 3450. 1) Will this V-Green 1.65 HP Round Flange 56 J Variable Speed Motor - ECM16CU work as a replacement? 2) If so, what other (kits/adaptors) will I need? 3) Also, the cement pad is cracked, does this motor come with shims for leveling? Please advise.
Thank you,

Yes, this would be the correct variable-speed motor to replace your current Emerson motor. We recommend replacing the seals and gaskets which you can view by clicking here as they are the first items listed on the parts list for either a chlorine or saltwater swimming pool.

Hi, Michael. This ECM16CU motor is NOT compatible with the EcoStar pump without changing the impeller reducing the overall performance of the pump. If the Drive Assembly still works, you can replace just the Motor Assembly - SPX3400Z1ECM or replace it with the ECM27SQU.

Hi. I have a Hayward Super Pump II, SP3010X152AZ 1.5 HP with SP1610Z2MC 1.5-.25 HP SF 1.0 dual speed.
Is the ECM16CU suitable? Swimpure SWG.
Control panel has a circular pull tab primary timer; secondary a dip switch for High Speed. Hi & Lo slide switches for Auto/Off/Manual. From the diagram, looks like I just need to disconnect LOAD 4. Should the timer cycle the power to the pump or is continuous best?
Alternatively, would STS1152 be a direct replacement? Thank you.
Hi, Glenn. Yes, this ECM16CU motor is a suitable replacement. You will use the Single Speed Pump Wiring Diagram, have the motor power on/off using the timer and program the speed and duration on the motor's interface. The STS1102RV1 is the correct direct replacement. It has a HP of 1.0/.16 with a S.F of 1.5. I will also recommend getting the Hayward Super II Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT2 or GOKIT2SALT.

Thanks Lennox. A couple of other questions: My SWG was wired to the incoming hots so it it powered on all the time except when the breaker to the pump is thrown. Should I rewire it to the same "Single Pump" load terminals or leave as-is? Would this drop the voltage from 220 to 110? I've heard that the flow sensor should not be relied upon as the primary on/off for the chlorine generation. What is the shipping weight? The shipping address I would prefer to use has a limit of 70 lbs.

Glenn, You can use the same load for the pump to the SWG if it can be wired for 230 volts also.

The Hayward Super Pump VS system (that is Energy Star rated and qualifies for a rebate) uses the same pump components as the Super Pump, with the only difference being the VS motor and controller.

As long as the total dynamic head matches well with a 1.65 VS motor then yes you could and you would need to change the impeller.

Hi, Richard. You do not want to replace the impeller to the 1.5 HP - SP2610C until you're able to confirm that your system is able to handle the increase water flow. This motor will operate fine using your current impeller.

I believe the ECM16CU is the correct match judging from all the other inquiries. But it never hurts to ask. I believe my motor is SP-1607-Z1-M, and the Model is C48K2N143. I say believe because the label is so worn out, so I would ask if the model number matches the type listed above. It is a 1HP and has a SF of 1.1 and it is of course a 56J frame. I have replaced the bearings twice in the last 20 years, but think I would like the efficiency of a variable speed. I have included a picture.

Will the 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Round Flange - ECM16CU fit the pump on my Pentair Challenger pump (CHII-N1-1A, Model #346204). I so want the savings and programmability of this motor and I'm a buyer if it fits my pump. Thanks!

Hello, for your pump you will need the ECM16SQU and the GOKIT5. For more variable speed motor information, click here.

I have a 9500 gallon pool with a 1.5 horsepower Hayward Super Pump single speed motor that needs to be replaced. It appears from the other comments that this is the correct variable speed replacement for that pump. Do I need to order a shaft seal for it, as well? Thanks.

Hi, Dirk. This ECM16CU is the correct vs replacement motor, the Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT3 or GOKIT3SALT will have all the seals you'll need.

I see below that you have already answered this basic question. Will this work with a 1hp super pump? SP2607X10
Yes, is your answer but, Does it require a different impeller? Since my old impeller is supposed to work with 1HP and this motor is rated 1.65HP?
Reply
Hi, Evan. You do not need to replace the impeller, you can use your existing impeller.

With this pump having electronic circuit boards, is it recommended to have some type of surge protector to keep the board safe? Hate for something to damage the main board that is not replaceable.
Reply
Am I correct to assume this motor does not have a built in timer. So you would install this using a pool timer and when it comes on, it then runs the preset steps 1, 2, 3 ?
Reply
Hi Evan, Yes you are correct. You would use a normal pool timer to power the pump on and off and then whatever settings you program on the controller will take over from there once the pump is powered up.

My salt system is electrically in line with my pump. To get the pump and salt system times to run concurrent they would need to be timed to match. But, what if the power goes off and they get out of sync and the salt system turns on without the pump running. I think it could ruin the salt system without water flowing. How would that be prevented?

Will this replace my current motor, model number: K48M2N110
This is a 1 1/2 HP A.O.Smith motor on my Hayward Pool Pump.
Thank you

I currently have a C48J2N131B1 3/4 H.P. Single speed on a SP2605X7 housing. I'd like to switch over to a VS. Is this a direct replacement? Do I need to change anything? Seals, impeller, etc.

I have an AO Smith B2983 1.5HP two speed pump that is making a racket and will probably die soon. Would this variable speed pump be the correct replacement?
Reply
Hello, based off of your current motor, you will need to go with the ECM27SQU. Please be advised that this motor has a smaller bore than your current motor and something would have to be placed underneath so that it is not hanging in the air. When you install this motor, you will also need to replace your shaft seal, which is determined by the model of your pump, not the motor.

Hello I have a Hayward super pump SP2610X15 that I run approx. 8 to10 hrs. a day, how much power would I save using your motor? Next I also run a Polaris 360 off this same motor the full time as it cleans the pool bottom while the two skimmers are cleaning the top. Will the decrease rpms effect my Polaris or will it work the same?
Reply
Hi, Douglas. Unfortunately, I'm unable to tell you exactly how much you'll save using this motor. On average 20-80% depending on the motor's operation. The decreased RPM will affect the Polaris performance.

I have a Hayward SP 2611 3 Housing with a Hanning 1,5 single speed motor. I would like to replace the motor with a Century Variable Speed and V-Link control. It is a 24.000 Gal. pool and a sand filter with a max flow rate of 3000 gph. Which Motor and extras do you recommend and do you ship to Europe (Belgium)?

I have a 1.5 HP ST1152 with a 56J frame Replacement Pool Motor and needs to be replaced. I would like to replace it with the 1.65HP VS motor will it work? and not sure if it is a 115 or 230 v wiring. Need advice and what parts to order.
Reply
Hallo, I made the mistake by thinking „bigger is better“. Last year I replaced a ¾ hp with a 1.5 hp. Which almost doubled my power bill. Now, I am thinking of replacing the Hayward/Century motor with a variable speed motor.
The pump model is Hayward Model SP2610X15, the motor is a Century HP 1 ½
Model # C48L2N134B1 which motor do you suggest?
Will the ECM 16CU work for me?
Thank you
Reply
Hi, Ingo. Yes, this ECM16CU VS Motor will work with the SP2610X15 pump. You will also need to get the Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT3 or GOKIT3SALT.

My concern here is my current pool pump turns the power on at a set time every day. I would like to keep that simple feature. It looks like I would have to go outside every day and press the start key in order for the pump to turn on. This doesn't seem right to me. Can someone confirm if my intermatic timer will continue to work with this motor and keep the desired running time along with the preset RPM everyday?
Reply
Yes with this model you can still use the timer and within those hours, program how you would like to set your RPM intervals.
Reply
My salt system is wired in line with the pump so they turn on at the same time. I am concerned that my salt system would be on without water flowing and damage the salt system.

I am considering the ECM16CU to replace my 1 HP motor on an older Jandy Stealth (JHP) pump. Is this motor compatible with my pump? Do I need to replace the pump impeller since it is rated at 1 HP? Is the variable speed motor compatible with my Jandy AquaLink RS Controller? What kit do you recommend to service and replace the pump seals and O-rings? Thank you.
Reply
Hello Bob, the ECM16CU would work on the Jandy Stealth Original (2006 and Prior) JHP & JHPU. You would not need to change the impeller and the seals needed when you change the motor would be GOKIT77. The motor would need to add the V-Green Automation Adapter Kit - 2517501-001. With the addition of Century’s new automation adapter (kit #2517501-001) the VGreen 270 can now be installed where third party pool automation systems already exist.

My pump is a 1 hp Pentair model sf-n1-1a, motor #196238 and salt water. Will this motor work with my set up? If so, what energy savings can be expected by replacing a 1hp single speed with a 1.65hp vs? We are coastal SC and wifey likes the pool clean and clear all year long. Thank you.
Reply
Hi, Rod. The ECM16SQU square flange motor is the correct one you will need for Model # SF-N1-1A. Your energy savings will be based on your usage and operating RPMs. On average a customer will reduce by at least 50 percent switching from a single speed to a variable speed.

The current motor is 1hp .Will this motor fit the super pump housing I currently have without having to change any internal housing parts like the diffuser cone or anything else possibly? Or should be a direct fit?
Reply
Hi, Ryan. This V-Green Motor - ECM16CU will fit the Super Pump housing without making any internal changes. The Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT3 or GOKIT3SALT is recommended when replacing the motor.

I currently have a 1hp Hayward super pump 56J frame. My pool is about 24000 gal. salt pool using 120v service. Would this motor work with my pool? For energy saving, what would be a recommend set up for this motor. My home is in Mid-West.

In order to use a variable speed pump, you must have 230v service.

Hello,
Is this motor and controller compatible with my (new) Raypak pool heater? The heater requires a "fireman's switch" to ensure the heater is turned off some time before the pump.

Hi, Mitch. This motor is compatible but will require the use of an external On/Off Intermatic Timer that the Fireman Switch will be wired to.

Hi, Kees. This 1.65 vs motor will work with your 1HP Hayward Max-Flo pump. This motor can also be shipped for use in the Philippines. I would also recommend that you get the Max-Flo Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT1 or GOKIT1SALT.

Can you get the control system separately? If not WHY? My other question is about the logo on the motor.... the backward RU...who it it that makes Century?
Reply
Hi. The controller is not available as a separate part because it's not fielded serviceable. This motor is manufactured by Century which is a division of Regal-Beloit Corp. The UR label is the logo confirming UL Underwriter Laboratories certification.

Hello Rob - The ECM16CU would be the correct variable speed replacement for your single speed C48L2N134B1. You would install your existing impeller onto the new motor. We would also recommend replacing the seals when you replace the motor. The correct kit for the Hayward Super Pump is GOKIT3. Use GOKIT3SALT if you have salt water.

What is the proper replacement motor for my Speck Model 21-80/30G. This is a high volume low head 0.5 HP specialty pump with 56J motor C flange, threaded. The current pool motor is 1725rpm, is there a way to avoid pump priming as this pump is well below pool water level? High speed priming could deliver too much water and could be bad for pump. One more question on a separate pump I'm considering upgrading: Northstar SP4015NS with Y56J motor, 1.5hp, which vsp to use? Thanks!
Reply
Hi, William. The Motor Unit - 2088300005M is what's used with the Speck 21-80/30 G pump. There is no way to avoid the priming mode of this motor. The ECM27CU VS Motor would be the replacement for the Northstar SP4015NS pump.

Inyo help me picked this pump last fall based on pictures I sent. Now as we try to hook up we find it needs a 220. A friend told me there may be a way to make it a 110. Is it possible? model ECM16CU
Reply
You would not be able to make this motor 110 volts but you can change the electrical line running power to the motor to 220 volts. You would need to get with a licensed electrician but you can change that 110 volts line to 220 volts supplying power to that pump.

Carla, Do you have a lot of elbows in the pool plumbing? Also, the ECM16Cu is a round flange motor and will not fit the Tristar housing. Please provide a picture of your motor label and we will provide you with some options.

Yes, this would be the correct motor and seal kit replacement and you should not need a new impeller unless it is damaged.

Will the motor fit my MaxFlo VS2302VSP? What other parts do I need?

Hi, Geoff. The correct replacement vs motor is the ECM16SQU. This motor does require an external timer to turn it on/off. Replacing the pump seal and o-rings are recommended, those items are all listed on the Hayward MaxFlo VS (Variable Speed) parts page.

I currently have a Marathon imPower variable speed motor (3/4 HP i believe) with a P2RA5D180 which is failing (the control board isn't working properly). What variable speed motor can I replace this with? Additionally, i don't see any pump curve charts for these motors, is that only provided for pumps? With my solar panels running, looking for 40 GPM with 55 feet of head, so i want to make sure this is sized correctly.
Reply
Hi, Dave. The ECM16SQU square flange vs motor is the correct motor that will fit on the P2RA5D-180L pump. The pump curve is specific to pumps, not the motor. With the proper settings, this motor will be able to achieve your goal.

Would a ECM16CU be the correct replacement for a A.O. Smith Northstar SP1615Z1BNSC motor?
