I'm looking to replace my G.E motor. My model is a C1318. Your description matches but you say this is a Marathon motor. Is this right?

G.E. and Marathon are one in the same. G.E was purchased by Regal Beloit and is now under the Marathon name. The quality of the motor has not changed.

I'm trying to replace the motor on my pool pump but all these numbers and abbreviations on the motor label are really confusing me. What do they mean?

Replacing a pool pump motor is not as difficult as it seems. You can try looking here. If you need help figuring out what the information on your label means. If you are still having difficulty figuring it out you can call us at our toll free number or you can send us a photo of your motor label here.

This is the motor I have on my pool pump. Is there a more efficient motor to replace this. If so, is the payback worth the additional expense?

An energy efficient option can be found here: http://www.inyopools.com/Products/00200017044611.htm?Keywords=uct1152 The amount you will save will vary on how long you run the motor, costs (kwh) and other variables. On average, you can save up to 30% in electric costs. There are some seals that you will need to replace as well. Do you know the pump housing model number?

I think i have this motor and it whines when it starts up and then quiets down, it also runs hot to the touch, i assume the bearings are going. My motor label says, 5kc38sn2835dx, frame 56z, sf 1.18 or 1.19, housing is a water ace rsp15, so I assume it is a 1.5 hp motor. The label is very difficult to read so the numbers could be slightly different. What is a suitable replacement? Thank you.

Yes you do have a 1-1/2 HP motor and I would suggest the Century USQ1152 1-1/2 HP Replacement Motor along with a Water Ace Shaft Seal.

Hi Mike, The Marathon Electric 1.5 HP Square Flange Motor (C1246,5KC39UN6086X) would be the correct replacement motor if you were looking to replace the complete motor.
