I have a Hayward Super pump with a Century centurion motor Part # 10-164303-23 for my In ground pool. The motor runs hot and the pump was very loud and has stopped pumping water. Is the PureLine Prime Pool Pump 1 Hp a compatible direct replacement for my pump / motor combo? The current motor is 230 /115 Volt and SF 7 Amp motor. The pureline prime lists to be a 6 amp motor; will this be a problem for swap out?

Hi Ken, Yes the 1 HP PureLine Prime is a direct replacement for the 1 HP Hayward Super Pump you listed. The motor on the PureLine Prime can be wired either 115V or 230V and when wired 230V it draws 6 amps. This would not be a problem if your current motor draws 7 amps, it will just mean that the new pump will be costing you less to operate as it uses less energy.
