Will this motor fit my hayward super pump 3/4 hp?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/6/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Yes this motor will fit a Hayward 3/4 HP Super Pump but can only be wired 115V, so if you need to wire 230V then at this time there is not a digital speed motor available.

Does it work on Above ground pool (without damaging the pool liner) And does it come with a normal 115v outlet plug so we can plug it to a GFI outlet ?) we don't use outdoor breaker box.. we only have a 115V GFI outdoor outlet. Lastly will it fit Jaccuzi 2 speeds 1hp pump ?

It doesn't come with the cord but it would fit your jacuzzi above ground pump.

Would this motor replace the HAYWARD A O SMITH MODEL #C48K2N143B1? I have a rotary timer - would I have to take this out in order to install this motor with digital timer? Is there any additional part I ought to get along with this?
 Reply

A  Answered on 9/13/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Nadine, This B973T motor can be used as a replacement for the C48K2N143B1 motor if you have 115 volts. If the motor is the only item being powered by the timer you can remove the trippers and wire the motor to the timer just for power. I would recommend replacing the pump seal and o-rings but we will need to know the model of the pump in order to locate the correct seals.

I currently have a Hayward Super Pump (SP2610X15) with an AO Smith 1.5 HP Motor (C48L2N134B1) and am looking for a variable speed replacement. Would this pump do the trick?

Hi, Gokhan. The B973T motor is not a variable speed motor, it's a dual speed. The ECM16CU along with the Hayward Super Pump Tune Up Kit GOKIT3 or GOKIT3SALT would do the trick.

On the previous question it was stated that this motor would not be adequate at greater than 15 feet of head. My pool is 18 x 36 approximately 29000 gallons, I have 1 1/2" piping and the flow rate is 60 GPM.I have only 1 skimmer located at the deep end about 36 feet away from pump.

You should not need to pull the impeller to find a part number on it in order to identify the pump model. It should be molded into the impeller face. If you cannot locate a pump model then you can send in a few images of the front pump housing through our support request page so we can try and identify it.

Hi, Joel. It appears that the motor was downsized to a 1HP uprate pump if the current motor is rated at 1hp with an SF of 1.1. In this case you can use this Century B2973T 2-Green Motor.

I have 5,500 gallon in ground fiberglass pool. I currently have a Hayward SP2607X10. (By my calculations, it is way oversized.) Considering replacing the current 1 HP motor with this 2 speed motor. My concern is about the solar panels to heat the pool during the day. Would this motor be capable of moving sufficient water up to the roof panels while operating at a lower speed?

The impeller seems to be okay, but it's at least as old as the pump; should I replace it?

Hi John, Yes this will work for you if you are wiring 115V.  The cover is about 6 inches so you will need at least 6 inches of space above the motor to full lif the lid. Could you send us a wide shot  photo of the complete pump to show the pipes going in and out of the pump? This would allow us to suggest the proper seal kit and impeller.

                    Hello again, Patrick. First, the motor and all the parts arrived quickly, as promised. Installation was straightforward and with the help of a couple of your videos it went well. So now the pump is working again, but on the High setting, after about 3 minutes, I get a Fault 12 code: "Overload Fault, Remove Power and Check Impeller Size". The motor seems to work fine on low speed, but high speed results in Fault 12. Any ideas? Thank you!

                      Hi John, I have never run across that fault code but it implies that the impeller is too powerful for the motor but that should not be the case as the motor has a True HP of 1.13 and the Impeller you ordered has a True HP of 1.1. You don't want your impeller True HP to exceed your motor True HP and that is not the case here. We could send out an impeller with a True HP of .75 and see if that resolves the fault code. Let me know if you would like for me to do that?

    Hi Brannon, You can upgrade the motor on your Hayward Super Pump to this 1.65 HP Variable Speed Motor If you wanted to take advantage of the higher speeds of this motor then I would suggest upgrading to this 1-1/2 HP Super Pump Impeller and you will need this Hayward Super Pump Seal Kit when you replace your motor. There are a few items of note the VSP motor suggested can only be wired 230V and not 115V. If you want something that integrates with Prologic where you can adjust the speeds of the motor from inside with the ProLogic then you might want to consider the Hayward Super Pump Variable Speed Pump.

      Continuing on with my original reply. Here is an article showing the Expected Savings by going with a Variable Speed Pool Pump. Also if you go with the replacement motor option then your Prologic will turn the pump on and off and then the programming in which you set on the controller of the motor will take over from there. If you go with the complete new Super Pump Variable Speed Pump then all of the programming would be done by the Pro Logic controller.
