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.

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.

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.

Is the UQC1102 the correct replacement motor for Sta-rite model k48k2pa105c1 1hp Max-E-Glas?

Hello Kenneth - The UQC1102 would be the correct replacement motor for the K48K2PA105C1 1HP Max-E-Glas.

Is the UQC1102 the right motor for a Sta Rite model P2RA5F-182L pump and if so, which tune up kit should I buy with the motor? If not, then which motor and tune up kit would be correct?
Reply
Hello Chet - The correct replacement motor for the P2RA5F-182L is the UQC1152. The tune up kit for Dura-Glas models manufactured before 1998 is GOKIT6. The tune up kit for models manufactured since 1998 is GOKIT54. If your seal plate has a copper cone it is pre 1998. If it does not, you have a 1998-current model.

Are B8241 different in size and ability than UQC1102?
I used to have B8241 (56Y). Will that be a problem if I switch to UQC1102 (48Y)?
Thanks,
Reply
Hi Chin, The B2841 is a 1 HP full rated motor which has a total hp of 1.65 and a frame size of 56Y, the UQC1102 is a 1 HP up rated energy efficient motor which has a total hp of 1.25 and a frame size of 48Y. If you currently have the B2841 you would need to change the impeller of the pump and use the motor pad to support the smaller frame size if you want to use the UQC1102. You would also need to make sure that downsizing the motor would not be a problem.

What is the correct replacement motor for the Sta Rite Dura Glas pump model # P2RA5E-124L?
Reply
Thank you for your question. You can either use the USQ1102 or the UQC1102 motor. The difference between the 2 motors is that the UQC1102 is more energy efficient. I would also recommend replacing the shaft seal. The P2RA5E-124L has 2 different shaft seals depending on the age of the pump.

Hi Dave, Base off of the Sta-Rite model # P4E6E-151L, the A.O. Smith 1.0 HP Square Flange EE Full Rate Motor (QC1102) will be the correct replacement motor. I would also recommend getting the Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas II / DuraGlas II Tune Up Kit (GOKIT38).

I have a flotec pump the motor is leaking water though the bottom and making some weird noise. I'm wondering could it be the motor.
Reply
Hi Maria, That is an indication that the shaft seal failed allowing water to leak into the motor. The weird noise that you're hearing is probably the motor bearing failing due to water leaking into the motor. I would recommend replacing the motor along with the shaft seal. If you can provide with the motor CAT or MOD # and the model of the Flotec pump we can locate the correct parts needed.

The direct replacement motor for your sta-rite dyna-glas model mpra6e-147L 1 HP pump would be a USQ1102 Replacement Motor. The motor on this page is the energy efficient version of your USQ1102 so by going with the UQC1102 you will be saving roughly 30% on your operational cost. Either way you go you will need a DynaGlas Shaft Seal Kit when you do the replacement.

Hello Mike, this motor is for Sta-Rite Max-E-Glas, Max-E-Glas II, Dura-Glas, Dura-Glas II, Dyna-Glas, Dyna-Max Pentair Whisperflow, Pinnacle and Anthony pumps.

I'm looking to purchase this motor to replace my USQ1102 motor. What tune up kit do I need? My pump basket doesn't have any name on it. However, there is a partial metal plate attached to the back of the pump that looks like it says Sta-Rite Industries.
The number on the plate (the ones I can make out) are 2RA5E-124L. There's s code number 1L92.

I want to replace my maxi-glass48y 1hp k48l2pa101 pool pump motor will this work
Reply
Hello Terry- Based off the part number you provided (k48l2pa101) the correct motor for your Maxi-glas is the 1.0 HP Full Rate EE Motor (B864SE) - QC1102 and not the Energy Efficient A.O. Smith 1 H.P Square Flange Up Rate Motor - UQC1102. The QC1102 is a Full Rate motor with a total HP of 1.65 whereas the UQC1102 only has a total HP of 1.25. Putting the UQC1102 on your pump without changing the impeller will harm the motor and cause premature failure.

Hello, I'm looking to replace the capacitor for the motor : STA RITE MODEL P4E6E-151L, I can't seem to locate one. Will this motor work? is it better to replace the whole motor and pump vs. just the capacitor? On a very tight budget & I need to get the pool going. It's been very loud since Sunday.
Thank you in advance.

Hi, Gretchen. Replacing the capacitor will not fix the problem of a loud motor. When the motor becomes very noisy that's an indicator that the motor bearings are failing. The replacement for your model pump would be the QC1102 motor. If you're unable to replace the entire motor you can get the bearings replace.

Hi, Cleve. You can use this UCT1102 EE 48Y FR motor or the B661 EE 56Y FR motor as a replacement for the WF-24 pump. The B661 is more energy efficient than this UCT1102 motor. The body diameter is the difference between a 48Y and 56Y frame motor. I would also recommend the Whisperflo Tune Up Kit - GOKIT32 or GOKIT32SALT.

Hi there, will this motor replace a Sta-Rite PHK2RA6E - 102L? Pic attached. Many thanks
Yes, this motor will replace the motor on a Sta-Rite PHK2RA6E - 102L the diameter of the motor on this UQC1102 is a little narrower than your current motor so you will use the included rubber spacer that comes with the motor. If you don't want to use the rubber spacer and want the same diameter motor that you currently have then you will need the PL2853 1 HP Up Rate 56Y Replacement Motor. You will also need a Sta-Rite SuperMax 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.

Hi Sarth, the correct single speed replacement motor for the motor included in your photo is the USQ1102. You will also need a Sta-Rite Dura Glas/ Max E Glas seal kit when you replace your motor. Be sure to remove the cone insert that may be in the seal plate when installing the shaft seal.
