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?

I've a Marathon Electric 1 HP Motor C1318 installed in a 10,000-gallon pool with Hayward C-750 filter. The filter needs replacing due to corrosion and rust. I may replace the C-750 with a C-500, except if I understand correctly I should reduce the motor to 3/4 HP, right? What are advantages/disadvantages of reducing the HP? What parts would I need? Better to replace the filter with a C-750? I'm concerned that the same corrosion and rust may have also affected the pump but it seems to run OK

Hi Ed, If you reduced your filter down to a C-500 you would need to reduce the HP of your pump so the small filter could handle the output of your pump. The advantages to reducing your HP is that your cost of operation will be less as the 3/4 HP pump costs less to operate than a 1 HP pump. The disadvantage of reducing the HP is that you will need to also replace your impeller to 3/4 HP so there would be this additional expense. I would suggest replacing your filter with a Hayward C7512 Star Clear Plus Filter and reducing your pump motor to 3/4 HP.
