What is Service Factor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/11/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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

A  Answered on 1/12/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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  Answered on 1/12/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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.

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.

My pump makes a loud high pitched screaming noise when running. The pump moves the water well but the noise is very loud. Would replacing the seals eliminate my noise problem?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/2/2013 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

If the motor is making a loud, screeching noise while it's running, the bearings have likely failed. Replacing the seals alone will not resolve the issue. The motor and seals  should be replaced.

How warm/hot to the touch should the motor feel after it has been running for a few hours...? The average outside air temp while the motor is running is 85 degrees F.

A  Answered on 3/30/2015 by InyoPools Product Specialist Andy O.

Rick, generally motors have a rating on them It will say AMB. It could, for example, say 50 Degress C, which means it will operate at 122 degrees F ABOVE the ambient temperature. Easily a motor can feel 200 degrees.

Pump is on a timer. The motor will try to start, but only hum and either eventually automatically shut off (and then retry to start until it throws a breaker), if I re-set breaker, it will then at some point actually work until it is time for it to shut down. If you touch the pump motor while it is running it is VERY HOT!!!......should I just be getting a new motor?

Yes based on what you are explaining I would suggest replacing your entire motor, especially since the motor is running so hot as this may have caused other damage to parts within the motor.

It's gong to depend on if you have the UST1152 or the ST1152, the total horsepower is going to be the difference from 1.5HP to 2.25HP. So the UCT1152 will be good if you currently have to UST1152, unless you don't mind moving down in horsepower.

That would be the correct replacement motor and the part numbers for the seals you will need for SPX1600Z2 and 5110-12A. As far as getting the impeller off, you will have to take the end cap off the back of the motor and hold the shaft with a channel lock so the shaft does not turn while you are trying to twist the impeller off.

 Reply

A  Answered on 9/16/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

The SP2610x15 has a total HP rating of 1.5HP. The replacement motor is the UST1152 in use with a Tune-Up Kit. If you opt to replacing it with the A.O. Smith Round Flange 1 1/2 HP Full Rate Motor (C1101, ST1152) it is advised to change the impeller and the diffuser, to those that are recommended for the 1.5 Full Rate Motor ST1152. By increasing the size of the equipment you are increasing the the gallons per minute output from the pump. You will need to verify the design flow rate that your filter and plumbing is set for, before making your decision. If you only replace the motor using the ST1152 with the existing impeller and diffuser, you are only spending more money with no results.

Hi, Jim.  The Total HP of your motor is 2.25.

Once you've confirmed, you will also need to replace the impeller, diffuser etc to match the increased motor.

I need to replace my motor and i believe this is the correct one. The electrical collar is broken where it mounts to the motor, do you have a part number for that?

Hi, Darin. If you're referring to the 1/2" Watertight Conduit Connector, that can be purchased at a hardware or electrical store.

I have a Hayward 1.5hp motor on my pool pump. Starting to make noise and getting extremely hot on bottom right side

Hi Jerry, usually this is a sign of failing bearings or the motor itself. Could you send us a few photos of your pump and motor? Please take a close up shot of the motor label as well as a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos or chat with a live representative through our web page. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.

hi I received help from your chat. I just want to make sure this motor is good for my pool or should I get the UST. Not sure what the difference is from Up Rate and Full Rate. Also if you can recommend a Go-Kit for this or anything I would need. I checked out the How To video. Should be doable. I have pics

Hi Patrick, the correct single-speed replacement motor is the 5212X. The seal kit is the GOKIT76 and here is a guide that we put together that will explain the difference between full and uprated motors

Hello, yes for the motor model k48m2n110c1 this ST1152 will be the correct single speed replacement motor.

In your picture for mounting there are four bolts holes to attach the motor to the pump mine has six and is not round. The current motor I want to replace is a ST 1152 mod K48M2N110C1. Thank You

Your front pump housing model may be a different model than what you may have seen in a video. Please click here to view the Hayward Super II pump which may be your model,

Thank You for the response, Can you recommend a specific model number that would work for me? I only wanted to buy the motor. Is it possible to re use the existing mounting flange and remove the round one that comes with the ST 1152?

    Patrick. This ST1152 is the correct replacement motor. You will also need the Super II Pump Tune Up Kit - GOKIT2 or GOKIT2SALT.

We are replacing a pump #K48M2N110C1. Please confirm this is the correct choice and guide me to any seals or other materials recommended for replacement. Thank you

This is the correct single speed replacement motor for the model K48M2N110C1 and in order to confirm the seal kit needed you will need to know the model name or number of the front pump wet end housing that the motor attaches to.

Hi, can I use this motor for Hayward Super Pump self priming, model C48L2N13481, SER 10213J2, amps 18.6/9.3, SF1.0, FR 56J, HP 1 1/2 (purchased 07/2013). The super pump original motor lasted 3 years, got replaced by similar one up rated model HP 1 1/2, THP 1.65 and it is not working after 3.5 years. Like the super pump, not the up rated motor. Would like to have full rated one, like I had on the first pump and that one lasted 20 years. Thank you.

Hello, the full rated single speed replacement motor to match your motor model C48L2N134B1 is the 5222X.  You will also need a Hayward Super Pump seal kit when you replace your motor. We put together this Video on How to Replace a Pool Pump Motor which you may find helpful when you tackle this project.

Hi, I have a 20,000 gallon in-ground pool with an AO Smith 1 1/2 hp, volts 115/230, Amps: 19.4/9.7 Model #K48M2N110 pump. I don't get as much water flow as I would like. What would be an appropriate upgrade to a variable-speed pump?
 Reply

A  Answered on 11/10/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

Hi Michael, the correct variable speed replacement motor for your motor model K48M2N110 is the ECM27CU. When replacing a pool motor we do suggest a Seal Kit. Could you send us a few photos of your pump so we can suggest the proper seal kit? If so then please take a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump. To supply photos simply click the reply link below and upload your photos. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation for your seal kit.

My pool pump has been worked on several times in the last 25 years. I had the pool resurfaced a few years ago and the amount of water flow seems low. My chlorinator doesn't work well and the spa flow is low. Due to all the work, I don't know if I have the right motor/ impeller match. The motor is a K63CXEPZ4767 OR B796. Can you tell me the total hp of this motor and what impeller is correct for this motor. This is a Hayward Super II pump. Also, can I move to the next size pump to get more flow.
 Reply

A  Answered on 10/19/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Donald, If your Super II Pump is from after 1990 then the proper impeller for the B796 motor is this Hayward SPX3016C Impeller if your pump is from before 1990 then you would require this Hayward SPX3015C Impeller.

Will this motor work on a Hayward Northstar Model Number SP4015NS
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/5/2021 by InyoPools Product Specialist Danny R.

It really depends on the HP of your Hayward Northstar.  But I do not see the ST1152 as a replacment for any of the Northstar pump HP's.  Here is a link to the parts breakdown for the Northstar.  You can find the proper motor on this page...Hayward NorthStar SP4000 Series Pump (2008-Current)

I have Century 164304-24 & 193633-24 Pumps. Will the ST1152 replace them? I would assume I require fresh gaskets as well?

Hi Todd, You will actually need this B129 Replacement Motor for the motor included in your photo. When replacing a pool motor we do suggest a Seal Kit. Could you send us a few photos of your pump so we can suggest the proper seal kit? If so then please take a wide shot of the complete pump to include the pipes going in and out of the pump.

Is the ST1152 the right pump motor for the Hayward pump model shown in pic? The pump motor pictured is the one I was using but it is not the original. I got this pump motor from a company that trades worn out motors for rebuilt ones. It worked fine for 5 years.

Hello Darren.  The Century 1.5 HP Round Flange 56J Full Rate Motor - ST1152 is a compatible replacement motor for the motor in the photo attachment.   The Tune Up Kit Hayward Super II - GOKIT2 contains the parts necessary to complete the new motor installation.  Attached please find the Hayward Super II SP3000 Series exploded parts diagram for reference.
