Product Description

V-Green™

Versatility and performance best describe A. O. Smith's new V-Green™ variable speed pump motor with integrated timer. Capable of delivering superior energy savings of over 80% versus a standard single-speed motor, V-Green motors are well suited for pump applications ranging from 3/4 - 2.7 total horsepower (THP). Spurred by consumer interest in energy-saving products and government-mandated efficiency standards, the innovative V-Green variable speed ECM offers premium efficiency boosted by such features as Power Factor Correction, which raises overall efficiency while reducing input amps! The state-of-art user interface ensures programming ease and flexibility, with on-screen navigation, ergonomic selector switch, and pre-set programs for out-of-the-box operation. A. O. Smith's V-Green is Title 20** compliant and with three user-defined variable speeds is a superb choice for reducing energy consumption, for lowering overall pool ownership costs, and for satisfying regulatory requirements.

We have a Hayward Super II Pump Model# K45N2N104 S/N 8B05, 2hp, 1.55KW, 230 volts, RPM 3450 56J Frame. Can I purchase a ECM27CU for this? It doesn't look like a fit for the round flange. I know it should be the right motor, but I just want to be sure before I purchase it. Can I return it if for some reason it doesn't fit?

Brad, This 2.7 HP Variable Speed Motor Round Flange P/N ECM27CU can replace your current motor. We also recomend getting a Tune Up Kit which consist of the replacement shaft seal, housing gasket, diffuser gasket and housing lid o-ring.

Will this fit a Hayward Northstar pump? Do you have a vs motor that would fit a Hayward Northstar?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/10/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Charlie R.

No, unfortunately, there are no variable speed motors that we know of that will fit the Hayward Northstar pump. There is a dual-speed motor that will bolt up with that Northstar pump.

Replaced 3hp motor to Variable 2.7 Emc27cu

Written on 9/10/2020 by elcoach66

Replaced on a Hayward Super Pump which only runs 6 sheer descent waterfalls. The main pool has a super pump ii which motor still runs good. When I took apart 3 hp motor i noticed the company I used to remodel my pool had left 2 hp impeller, plate and diffuser. I changed to 2.5 impeller, diffuser and plate to take advantage to 2.7 hp. What a difference! Big improvement and quite. Glad i made the upgrade.

My old Hayward Superpump 2600 was dead and needed to be changed

Written on 6/26/2020 by Guest

Removed old pump (4 bolts)
replaced old shaft seal and O rings
installed new V-Green 2.7 HP Pump (4 bolts)
Reconnected the 220 Volts wiring (3 wires)
Reconnected the bonding wire
The entire process took less than 30 minutes

I am not a professional but this was really easy to do. Almost anyone can do it.
