I need to replace the motor for my whisperflo pump (motor has become very loud with frequent pitch changes but is powering the pump). Looking for an affordable motor and the parts I’d need to make sure the motor change is successful. I’d appreciate reference to part numbers I’d need. Thanks.
Hi Justin. The Title 20 regulations in California require you to change your old B2661 motor to a dual-speed motor like this 115 volt B2981, this 220 volt B2980, or this variable-speed ECM16SQU. Adding a Tune Up Kit Pentair/Purex Whisperflo - GOKIT32 will ensure that your motor replacement is very successful.

I have an AO Smith 3/4 hp pool motor that I need to replace. I purchased and Endless Pool in about 2003 and need to replace it. The motor I have is a 3/4 hp Century Centurian and the part number is 7-18623600-26. I am considering a Century 3/4 HP Square Flange 56Y Up Rate Motor - B2852. I want to be sure that the flange is compatible with my pump. Can you verify this for me? I've added a photo of the motor and the label. Thanks, Gary

I have a Jandy (7-193984-25) 3/4 HP, 56Y, SF-1.3 producing .98 Total HP. I read here that the SF is split into =1.27 & <1.30. Will the SF be an issue for me?
Also, is there anything else required for installation?
Reply
Hi Jim, being that your compatible single speed replacement motor is the B852 for your motor part number 193984, no the service factor will not affect you. Also, replacing the seals and gaskets is recommended however in order to cross-reference the correct ones we will need to know the front pump housing wet end model name or number to confirm that for you.

Is there any difference between a pool pump motor: B2852 and a replacement B852? Both are 56Y 3/4 horse.

Hi Dave, there is not a difference between the B2852 and the B852. These are just alternate part numbers as many pool products have multiple part numbers.

This motor appears to be an appropriate replacement for the one on my Jacuzzi pump that services the waterfall feature of my pool. The only difference is that mine does not have the small housing on the top of the motor. I assume this is a capacitor? Will I need a special tool to separate the pump from the motor?
Yes, the hump on the motor is the capacitor housing, going by your pictures; it should not interfere with your install. There is no need for extra tools, following the instruction in this guide and you shouldn't have a problem: How To Replace the Motor on Your Pool Pump.

Do you have anything for corrosion prevention for the motor. Living on the Gulf of Mexico, the salt even corrodes glass!
Reply
Unfortunately, there is nothing we carry to prevent corrosion on the motor. I would recommend a Protective Pool Motor Cover - R221016 to keep the elements off of your motor as much as possible as well as not allowing runoff rainwater from the roof to fall directly on it.

Why should I purchase a Tune Up Kit?
Reply
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.
Reply
Why do I need to purchase a new shaft seal?
Reply
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.
Reply
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.

Step 1 Go to local pool store and get told the motor is bad and you might as well replace the pump as well... That will only be about $600.
Step 2 Check out Inyopools.com and enter in the relevant data. I found all the parts I needed and dropped them in the shopping cart... but wait, do I need this other gizmo???
Step 3 Chat with Inyopools.com. They looked at my shopping cart and ensured I had the right parts for my pump and I was now 100% confident.
Step 4 Parts arrive and I am ready to get to work.... but this pump seal, what side faces which way.
Step 5 Watch Inyopools.com videos on how to install a pump seal.
Step 6 Called Inyopools.com and the guy checked the part and the motor and we scoured over the exploded diagram and he explained to me how to install the pump seal.
Step 7 Installed pump seal and motor and plumbed everything back in. No leaks, no issues, no problem!
