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.

I currently have the Hayward Tri-Star SP3205Z1BE pump which needs to be replaced. I have read that the replacing it with a variable speed pump will be much more efficient.
1.) If I replace the current pump with a variable speed pump, what pump would you recommend?
2.) Will it fit the current face plate attachment or would I need to reconfigure part or all of my system?
Thank you,
Tim

Hi Tim, Hayward now makes the Tristar Variable Speed Pool Pump which would be a drop in replacement for you current Hayward Tristar Pump making this a pretty easy DIY job. If you happen to have the Hayward ProLogic indoor control system then you would use the Hayward Tristar Variable Speed Pool Pump for Prologic Indoor Control Systems.

What is the SF of this motor (part no. 5112-256) and the amps? Also how is it differant from the motor part no. B842 Thanks

Hi Richard, this Hayward Tristar replacement motor has a service factor (SF) of 1.60 for a True HP of 2.4 HP. The amp draw @ 115V is 20, @ 208V is 12 and @ 230V is 10. The B842 (B2842) can only be wired at 208V or 230V and not 115V and has a service factor of 1.47 for a True HP of 2.2 HP. If your current motor has a true HP of 2.4 and you replace with a motor which has a true HP of 2.2 then you run the risk that the smaller motor will be worked to hard and fail prematurely.

Pros: Quick delivery, comparable price.
Cons: none
Completely satisfied with the order. Online store is easy to use, delivery was on time and the product was exactly as advertised. Price was the deciding point. Free shipping and low price for a quality product. I tried to order at a retail store and they couldn't even find it online.
