Premium-Efficiency 2-Speed Pool Motor with Integrated Timer
A. O. Smith’s new 2Green two-speed premium efficiency replacement pump motor with integrated timer packs tremendous value into an easy to- nstall package. Energy efficiency continues to drive the needs of the pool market, from legislation to increased awareness of energy costs and environmental impact. And thanks to the 2Green’s energy efficient high and low speed windings paired with an onboard timer interface, energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 58% over single speed motors. The all-in-one integrated motor and timer means less work for an installer and maximum energy savings for pool and spa owners. A. O. Smith’s 2Green is Title 20 compliant** and best of all, there is no additional wiring required for new construction or retrofit installations!
**California’s Title 20 legislation states that pumps > 1HP (total) must be 2-speed or variable speed, and must have a control to default to low-speed (i.e. timer)
Features | Benefits |
---|---|
All-in-one design with integrated motorand timer as one unit | No additional wiring required! – other aftermarket timers require external leads and can be wired incorrectly |
Rain-proof timer enclosure | Other aftermarket timers require a secondary enclosure for outdoor use of the electronics |
On-screen motor status updates | Unique feature that provides user feedback (if the shaft is locked for instance) which can reduce motor failures; shows the mode (high, low, off) and time remaining |
Built-in battery backup protects programming for 7 full years |
No need to replace battery (unlike other timers) or reset time/settings during a power outage or off-season |
Integrated LCD backlight and adjustable contrast |
Ensures the display can easily be viewed in dark, shady, or direct sunlight conditions |
Intuitive step-by-step screen instructions | Step-by-step instructions make initial setup and any future programming changes simple |
Manual override | User can instantly change motor parameters for cleaning or maintenance without adjusting permanent settings |
I have a Sta-Rite MPRA6E147LC pump with an Emerson 1081 Pool Motor that I would like to upgrade. Would it be worth it to add a 2 speed motor or get a new variable speed pump? What parts would I require if I went with the two speed and what is the ratio of flow rates between the speeds? Thank-you.

Hi Brian, Our suggestion would be to upgrade your motor to this Variable Speed Pool Motor and you will also need this Dyna Glas Seal Kit You will roughly 50%-70% on your operational costs by upgrading to variable speed. Here is an article we wrote on the Cost Savings of Variable Speed Vs. Single Speed Pool Pump which you might find interesting.

Hi Brian, I'm sorry I left the link off of my last reply. You will need this ECM16SQU Variable Speed Motor

I have a single speed Jandy SHPM1.0CND 1.0HP (motor is a A.O. Smith 7-193992-06) and I would like to replace the motor with a 2 speed one and keep the wet section of the pump. Will this motor fit my current pump, and are there any other motors that might fit as well (variable/2 speed)?
Reply
So the dual speed replacement motor would be the model B981 and you cud use either as toggle switch part number 2512558-001 or dual-speed timer model T106R if you currently have an Intermatic pump timer. The variable speed replacement would be the model ECM16SQU which will already have the controller on it but requires 230 volts only.

Thanks so much for your help! If I currently have a Jandy Aqualink system with a PDA control, of the two pumps you mentioned, which ones can I integrate into the Aqualink system so I can control the speed through Aqualink? I have also uploaded a photo of my pump motor just to make sure the two you mentioned are a direct replacement for it.
I recently bought a house with a pool, first time owner of a pool. The pump is a Pentair 340039, with Century single speed motor: 1 HP, SF 1.65. I also have solar heaters on the roof, approx 30 ft up, through 2" PVC. Most of the plumbing is 2". The motor is howling... bearings are going. Should I replace with the same 1 HP/1.65 SF motor, use a 2 speed (not use low speed when using the solar), or go with a VS???
THX a bunch for answering questions!

Hi, JawJa. A dual speed motor B2982T will be a simpler operation than a variable speed (ECM16SQU) which will provide you with more operating options and a better design motor. Both options require 230 volts. Whichever motor you decide to go with you will need to get the SuperFlo Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT78.

Also... the pump leaks water at the top... water is literally pouring out in the area between the clear screen cover and the output connection... I ordered replacement O rings and tried that... no help. Should I plan for a new pump rather than fiddle with this one??? THX (BTW; using my co email... I run a heating and AC company)
Reply
JawJa, Yes, replacing the entire pump will be a better option especially if the pump is more than 5 years old.

Thread was back in the Spring... I bought a new WhisperFlo 2 speed pump; 1 HP (1.65 SF), seems to work GREAT! Played with timers, rigged a controller that does the following: Runs for 10 hours a day: First 3 hours = low speed pump Next 4 hours = high speed pump Final 3 hours = low speed pump This uses less electricity, yet keeps the water moving longer and filters nicely! THX for all your input... The latest project is to rebuild the Hayward lever style backwash valve, wish me luck!

Hi, Mike. Unfortunately, this B2982T - Square Flange 1 HP Full Rate Dual Speed w/ Digital Controller will not fit the SP1607 Series pump. The B973T - Round Flange 3/4 HP Full Rate Dual Speed Motor W/ Digital Controller will if you're using 115 volts. Giving the age of that pump it will be best if you replace it entirely.

Tabitha, This motor can replace your Emerson EUST1102. However, this motor is a larger diameter than the EUST1102. Also, please note that the B2982T will only work with 230v. If you have 115v, you will not be able to use a dual speed motor.

Thanks Hector. I may have inadvertently downsized to SF 1.25 when I replaced the original motor, thinking 1 HP is 1 HP when evidently it's not. Would it be wrong to use this higher powered one for the Challenger High Performance?

If you have not changed anything else in the pool system, the original builder had that pump on there and the original model of the Challenger matches the total horsepower of this motor then it should work fine.

I would like to replace my old pump Pentair 1 1/2HP A100FLL Motor #C48L2PA105 with a dual speed or variable speed pump. What model suggest? Thanks
Reply
I bought this motor from you earlier this year, without understanding the limitations of the integrated timer. I need to run the motor twice per day, in morning and evening, to avoid the high afternoon energy charges in California. The integrated timer won’t do this, it only works to start and stop once per day. Is there a way to bypass the integrated timer and instead start and stop the motor with a timeswitch twice per day in high and low speeds?
Reply
Hi, Stew. You're unable to bypass the timer, you can manually turn on the pump when you want to run it in the evening.

What would you suggest that I could easily change myself (with a kit for the new seals, of course)?

Currently looking to replace Sta-Rite 1 HP single speed with a duel speed with controller. Current Model number is MPRA6E-147L. Is this the model I need for my current setup? Is there any advantage to using say a 1.5 HP over a 1 HP motor? What other parts would I need to replace when I replace the motor?
Reply
I would need to know your filter model to see if it can handle the increased flow rate of going to a 1.5HP, you would also have to upgrade your impeller and diffuser, 5057-08B and 5057-09B. If you stick with the 1HP dual speed then you will need to replace the shaft seal as well, part number 5057-07.

Is there a way to wire a booster pump into this pool pump motor? Currently my booster pump is wired into the load side of the pump timer, but since I'd be switching to the dual speed motor with the digital timer, is it possible to wire the booster pump timer to the digital timer? I'm assuming that the digital timer will replace the existing pool pump timer.
Reply
Hi, Gonzo. Unfortunately, you're unable to wire a booster pump to the controller on this timer. You will have to leave the booster pump wire to the timer and wire this motor directly to the breaker.

I am replacing hayward tristar (century) sp3210z1be, part # 7-196336-20, and want a cycle option which will reduce electric costs and noise levels. Is this a legitimate option? If so what else will I need to replace to properly install
Reply
The dual speed motor would be a great energy saver. Another option would be part number UQC1102, which is an energy efficient replacement motor. Then to complete your motor replacement, you would want to also replace the shaft seal. If you have a chlorine pool it'll be part number 5112-216 and if you have a saltwater pool it's part number 5250-250.

I'm replacing a 48Y AO Smith SQ1102 / CET-50-ABM / C48L2PA105C4 motor wired up in 230V. Is the 56Y based B2982T a good replacement? Do I need to replace just the shaft seal or do I need a whole seal kit? Can I please get the correct part numbers for the shaft seal vs the seal kit?
Reply
Hi, The B2982T will be a good replacement even though the frame size is a 56Y, you will have to remove the motor support in order for the 56Y frame motor to fit if you have a motor base. The seal will need to be replaced, if you can provide the model of the pump housing we can provide you with the correct seals.

Yes, you can switch that motor with out changing the impeller. We do recommend you change the shaft seal which would be a ps-1000.

Looks like my 5 year old Hayward SP1607Z1M died over the winter... justifying my desire to replace with a timer/variable unit touch as this one (B2982T).
1. From what I've provided, can you confirm that this sounds like the appropriate replacement? (I have a Square Flange Hayward Super Pump)
2. Can you confirm the length (long dimension along shaft) of the motor? (Things are "tight" in my current arrangement- hoping this motor is comparable in physical size to my current)
Reply
How do you know the square bolt alignment is going to be the same size of the one you are taking off. There are different sizes. This has happened to me.
Thanks,

Hi Roy, The Square Flange is a universal bolt alignment. If you can provide your pump model or the part, cat or mod number of your current motor; I can confirm if this motor will mount to your pump.

I'm having a terrible time with this motor. When running, it's great BUT it has a hard time switching via the timer from low to hi speed. It almost always throws a fault 7 (over current - rotate the shalf...) - once you rotate the half a tiny bit it starts back up fine. BUT why is this so unreliable!
Also when wiring, what or why is there a third post (or fourth if you count the ground)? So there is l1, l2, ground and then another spot just below the ground.
Reply
Hi Tim, According to Century it could be a shaft seal issue. When wiring the motor you would use L1, L2 and the Ground, no other terminal should be used.

My installation does not have the 8 inch clearance required from the top of the motor for the hinged cover to be opened. Can the cover be removed?
Reply
Hello Andrew - The plastic cover does provide some moisture intrusion protection, but more importantly it provides UV protection to the LCD display. It could be removed, however I can't guarantee what the results to prolonged exposure of the keypad and screen will be when directly exposed to the elements. Ideally the product would be best utilized by leaving the cover in place.

If I purchase a B2982T to replace my Challenger 1.5 hp single speed pump #346206, do I need to also replace the impeller as well as the shaft seals?
Reply
Hello Tom - Model 346206 is an uprated 1.5HP Challenger pump. The service factor is 1.1. This gives your pump a total HP of 1.65. This is the same as the B2982T. You would not need to replace the impeller since both motors have the same total HP. We would recommend replacing the Challenger pump seals.

Does this pump have a priming feature, where the motor always starts at high speed?
Reply
The motor does not have an automatic prime feature. You can program the motor to start in high speed and then switch to low speed.

Do the B2982T automatically come on when temp reaches freezing?
Reply
The Century B2982T does not turn on automatically when the temperature drops to freezing. If you are expecting a freeze, you will need to keep the pump running.

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.

1. Disconnect power at breaker to pump
2. Short power poles to verify correct breaker is off. Short start capacitor.
3. Unhook power wires from back of motor, remove bonding wire last
4. Removed mount plate from pump by loosening and remove metal clamp ring.
5. Remove diffuser from mount plate.
6. Remove broken impeller from motor shaft
7. Unbolt motor from mount plate
8. Bolt new motor to mount plate
9. Press shaft seal to motor shaft. Used a socket to press evenly on seal.
10. Install new impeller, hand-tight as to not over tighten. Torque from motor will tighten impeller further with use. Be sure enough pressure is placed on the shaft-seal to give a proper seal.
11. Install new diffuser.
12. Replaced diffuser o-ring. Lubricate diffuser with o-ring lube and install
13. Lube pump housing o-ring.
14. Install mount plate to pump housing. Ensure the UP label is up.
15. Tighten metal clamp ring very tight.
16. Attach motor to bonding wire, then attach electrical wiring
17. Close breaker power to pump, very no shorts by watching breaker for a second to make sure it stays closed.
18. Program timer on pump.
19. Check for leaks on o-rings and watch for water leaking through the motor that would be a sign the shaft-seal did not seal correctly.
20. Go swimming.

(5 out of 5 stars) Best two speed motor in the market
Reviewed By: J. Martinez from Stockton, CA ()
Pros: Easy interface
Cons: None
I've tried other brands of motors and motors with separate controllers and so far this motor has the easiest controller interface to program. Some controllers you have to have the manual in front of you to be able to program or change the settings. The motor has 3 buttons with instructions on the display for each button, all you have to do is read the instructions for each button and push the button required to do what you want it to do ie "change timers", "change settings", "turn motor on manual", etc. from there the instructions will change depending on the menu you selected for that button. I may actually be making it sound harder than it is, trust me is simple. The only thing to keep in mind with this motor is the diameter of the barrel may be larger than yours to what you will have to do is remove any spacer from the pump base to allow the larger motor to seat on the it. Some pump bases may no have such spacer/adapter so you may want to make sure it will fit if your motor happen to be smaller.

Reviewed By: Jim R. from Rogersville, AL ()
Pros: Easy install
Cons: None for the pump but there was no "GoKit" available for the Waterco system I had so I wasted money on one of the seals that was too large.
Glad I made the decision to purchase the 2green pump form Inyo. While I had a Waterco SupraTuf pump the instructions Inyo provided in how to replace the pump (Stayrite) was easy to follow. In just over an hour I had my new 2Green pump up and running. I used to run my pump 24/7 but now I can set my pump to run on low speed during the cold nights to keep the water circulating and avoid freezing lines while enjoying lower electric bills...or at least I expect to see lower bills. This pump only uses 3 watts of power on high speed whereas my 11 year old Waterco pump that just failed used 12 watts.
