Guardian Pool Motors with built in Safety Vacuum Release System
Century created Guardian® with eMod® electronics, which is listed to the ASME A112.19.17 SVRS standard for suction lift applications. The Century Guardian is an electrical type SVRS, meaning it releases the entrapment victim by sensing the entrapment condition and shutting off the motor.
Safety: The Guardian device is completely integrated into the motor circuit. If it is turned off for any reason, the motor is turned off so there is no suction hazard. There are no external parts or connections to the plumbing or electrical system. The new Guardian motors are ETL listed to the ASME A112.19.17 SVRS standard and also comply with requirements for Safety Vacuum Release Systems in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act of 2007.

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.
