Premium-Efficiency 2-Speed Pool Motor with Integrated Timer
A. O. Smith’s new 2Green two-speed premium efficiency replacement pump motor with integrated timer packs tremendous value into an easy to- nstall package. Energy efficiency continues to drive the needs of the pool market, from legislation to increased awareness of energy costs and environmental impact. And thanks to the 2Green’s energy efficient high and low speed windings paired with an onboard timer interface, energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 58% over single speed motors. The all-in-one integrated motor and timer means less work for an installer and maximum energy savings for pool and spa owners. A. O. Smith’s 2Green is Title 20 compliant** and best of all, there is no additional wiring required for new construction or retrofit installations!
**California’s Title 20 legislation states that pumps > 1HP (total) must be 2-speed or variable speed, and must have a control to default to low-speed (i.e. timer)

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.

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?

Does the AO Smith B2983T motor come in an almond color?
Reply
Unfortunately the almond color is a trademark of Pentair and can only be used on products stamped with the Pentair logo. Even though AO Smith makes the Pentair motors, they can not duplicate the color for replacement motors.

(5 out of 5 stars) Nice quiet replacement motor
Reviewed By: Clarence M. from New Mexico ()
Pros: Quiet and efficient.
Cons: None that I've found.
Easy for me to install in place of the old single speed. The two speed motor with timer is nice and quiet. I have it set to run on high for 6 hours in the early morning and on low during the day. You can barely hear it running and it still has the power to run the pop-up cleaning heads while on low speed. I wish I had replaced the old motor years ago.

Replaced a single speed motor with this dual speed beauty. Installation was very easy and I am amazed at the quiet operation! The digital controller is very simple and intuitive to use... Setting up timers is easy...

(4 out of 5 stars) Simple to installed very quite in low speed
Reviewed By: AZ-homeowner from Chanlder,AZ ()
Pros: Simple to installed, very quiet
Cons: Fault which needed a reboot.
The installation was simple overall. A few videos were very helpful to make sure the various seals were installed properly. It when together very well, no leaks no problems. At the very beginning there was a bit of high pitch sound, but after first 1 hour, under low speed, the motor is very very quiet. Under low speed the Hayward crawler is moving, slowing but it seems to do a good job. Also, the salt ionizer is running. The interface, is simple, if not primitive. That is, it does the bear minimum to provide the function. The minimum time for the high speed is 30min. My preference would have been a more comprehensive timer, as the ones found in irrigation systems. Several on/off starts and ability just run in low speed in a day to day basis and to trigger a full cycle on demand. I have been running the pump for 1 week, and today, I noticed that it stopped. It had a over-current error, which requite power reboot of the controller. It appears that the controller thought the impeller was stock (per screen message). After putting it in manual for a few seconds it resuming the low speed just fine. It happened in the transition from high speed to low speed. Regarding Inyopools.com, no problems. Put the order in and it showed up at my door steps within the time window in a well package boxed. Also, order a salt water kit seal, which came with 3 extra o-rings which belong to older pumps. One might call it complete, I would call it wasteful and unneeded as they below with pre-1994 WisperFlow pump and finding that out, was the longest portion and most frustrating part of the installation. Plus what do I do with these things but to throw them away.
