 Reply

A  Answered on 11/21/2014 by InyoPools Product Specialist Robert M.

Yes, it can be used on a 2HP Whisperflo but you would have to change the pump impeller. The 2HP impeller is too heavy for the ECM16SQU. The impeller that you would need is Pentair part number 073128 (5074-27B).

As a follow up to my earlier question, if we install a solar system on a second story roof (9, 4x8 panels - total 288sf), would this pump (or any other vsp) be a waste of money? Specifically, if it ran at slower speeds to save energy, are those slower speeds (lower HP) enough to transport the pool water through all those collectors way up on the second story roof? Or is better to stick with a standard single speed pump motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/19/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

Hi, John. It is best recommended to use at least a 2.0HP pump to supply sufficient amount of flow to the panels. When sizing a pump that is 2.0HP or greater it is required to have 2" or larger PVC. If you are thinking of converting to Variable Speed Pump I would suggest reviewing other options. When operating Solar Panels, you would set the equipment to operate at the higher speed. When the Solar Panels are not in use you can program the pump to operate at lower speeds. Operating Solar Panel with Variable Speed equipment is best used with an Automation System.

Thank you for the information on your motor. To better assist you, we will also need the make and model of your pump. This information is typically listed on a label on the housing area, opposite the motor. Once we have this information, we can better answer your questions/concerns. Please let us know if you need help locating this information on your pump.

My parents need a pump motor replacement. They currently have a Centurion 7177216-24 connected to a Waterway Mustang 56 frame. I know the replacement motor is a B2854. They are interested in going with a variable speed motor. Could the ECM16SQU be bolted directly to the Waterway frame?

Hi Paul, This ECM16SQU motor will replace the B854 motor and connect to the Waterway Mustang 56. You will need to replace the Pump Shaft Seal-PSR1000.

I have this motor and am using digital inputs. For my application I need the motor to start at max speed, but it runs a priming sequence at 2600 rpm for 3 minutes when you start it using the digital inputs even if you start it in override mode.

I'm pretty confused (born that way). Referring to the WhisperFlo 1HP (WFE-4), it has a 1 HP motor with 1.65 SF; my understanding is that's equivalent to a 1.65 HP total rating, so this VS motor should be an exact replacement. However, several questioners were advised to change the impeller. Shouldn't the impeller be exactly compatible?

A  Answered on 7/14/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Don, This motor can be used as a replacement for the WFE-4 pump with the existing impeller if in good condition. If the impeller is worn or in need of being replaced then you can.

Your WhisperFlo has a total horsepower of 2.2 so I would recommend the ECM27SQU because the 1.65HP variable speed motor has less total horsepower. With the ECM27SQU you can adjust the RPM's to a lower setting if needed but you do not want to decrease horsepower unless you know your system will be able to run efficiently at a decreased flow rate. Whatever motor you chose you will want a seal kit to go along with it, that is GOKIT32.

If you have the copper cone in between the seal plate and the impeller then you would go with the GOKIT6, if you do not have the cone then you would go with the GOKIT54. Either way the GOKIT54 will work if you remove the cone if you still have the cone in your pump.

Hello, The user manual for the V-green 165 controller says that once "Start" mode is active, if motor mains power is interrupted then when power is restored the motor will begin running the stored program starting with Step 1. So, if I used an outboard time clock to turn the mains on and off, would the V-green 165 reliably start running its program every time power was applied? Is there any time limit to how long the "Start" state is retained when mains power is absent?

A  Answered on 10/19/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Ken. The V-Green 165 will start at Step 1 everytime power the reset. There is no specific time frame stated in the owners manual.

The gpm rating varies between complete pump models and are not just based on the motors. For example, if you click here you can view the Hayward Super Pump gpm rating in the details. Once you confirm the front pump housing model that you have then look up its pump curve with the hp rating that the VS motor has.

What would be a good replacement for the Pentair C48AB46A01 motor?

 Reply

A  Answered on 11/30/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Steve M.

You would require the UQS1152R 1.65 HP Dual Speed Hayward Tri Star Replacement Motor . The two-speed pump requires one relay to turn the pump on and off and the second relay is used to switch between high and low speeds. When replacing your UQS1152R 1.65 HP Dual Speed Hayward Tri Star Replacement Motor you will also want to replace your Hayward Tri Star Shaft Seal

I have a booster pump with separate dual water heater type timers and switches that ensure the booster pump is off if the main pump is off. This motor seems to have an output to a load that is configurable. Can this out be programmed to only supply voltage to the booster pump when the pump is running?

    I determined the motor started prematurely due to the outside temperature falling below 39 degrees.. The motor has an anti-freeze setting that turns the motor on when the temp falls below a preset to prevent freeze ups. And my motor timer is disabled since this motor has its own internal timer.

In the event that the outside air temperature drops below a set threshold, the V-Green 165 will automatically turn on (assuming the START button has been pressed) and circulate the pool water.

Ronald, the programming of the V-Green 1.65 HP Square Flange 48Y Variable Speed Motor - ECM16SQU will vary based on an individual's situation and is kind of a trial and error process most of the time. I suggest reading our article "Best Setup For Variable Speed Pool Pumps" which will give you tips on how to set up your variable speed pool pump to achieve the greatest performance and energy savings. That will give you a good foundation for the trial and error process I referred to previously.

      Hi Scott, That motor information helps a lot. Your pump has a true HP of 2.2 HP so if you stayed with the same impeller you would need to go the 2.7 HP motor and if you wanted to go to the 1.65 HP then you would need to replace your impeller with this. 1.5 HP Uprated Challenger Impeller

The ECM16SQU Variable Speed motor listed on this page is a Square Flange Motor and is not compatible with your pump also that motor is only 1.65 HP and your current motor has a true HP of 2.2 HP so you will require a 2.7 HP replacement, so you would require the round flange 2.7 motor.

Most home homeowners will usually replace the motor and seal kit if the housing is in good condition. If you have the original motor on the pump then your replacement variable speed motor will be the motor model ECM27SQU which currently is on backorder. The seal kit for a chlorine pool is the GOKIT32 and the seal kit for a saltwater swimming pool is the GOKIT32SALT

Hi Jesse, you do not necessarily need to replace the impeller and diffuser unless you know that you will need to utilize the additional horsepower the motor has. If you do, then the impeller part number is 5057-08A, and the diffuser is part number 5057-09A

I replaced my Jandy stealth single speed pump with a Jandy epump variable speed pump just under 3 years ago. The epump motor has since stopped working. I believe the stealth was 1.5 hp while the epump is definitely 2.7 hp. I am not sure why the pool company increased the hp. If i originally had 1.5 hp can I go back to 1.5 hp and should I? I have read that the higher hp can damage my pool equipment. I need to verify all of this understanding with previous photos.
 Reply

A  Answered on 6/3/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Hi Max, We would suggest going back to the 1.5 HP however if the pool company replaced the impeller to a 2.7 HP impeller when they replaced the motor then you will need to replace your impeller with the 1.5 HP impeller. You would require this 1.65 Variable Speed Motor and this 1.5 HP Impeller Kit Please note if you have an automated control system like the Jandy AquaLink then you would not be able to control the speeds of the pump from your indoor controller. All of the programming is done on the on-board controller of the motor. The automation system would just power the pump on and off and the programming you set on the motor controller would take over from there. When replacing your motor you will also need this Jandy Stealth Shaft Seal.

What is the down side to installing ECM16SQU instead of ECM27SQU (which matches the size of my old pump, SQ1152)?

 Reply

A  Answered on 6/9/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

So you would actually be losing horsepower with the ECM16SQU so the ECM27SQU would both match and exceed what you currently have. Losing horsepower may not pull and move water the way your pool needs.

what model vs pump would you recommend to be my best replacement option; this one or the 2.7HP? I have a 27,000 gallon inground pool currently running Hayward Superpump on 115volts. Its a 56J flange.

A  Answered on 8/25/2020 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Moustafa. The V-Green 2.7 HP Round Flange 56J Variable Speed Motor - ECM27CU is the variable speed replacement for your existing motor.  However, that requires 230 volts. If you're unable to supply 230 volts, then you can use the Waterway Power Defender 140 Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.4 HP 115V/230V - PD-140.

Greetings. My pump motor is screeching and probably needs new bearings. I would like to entertain the idea of moving from the single speed to a variable speed motor in order to save on electricity but still perform the cleaning needs of my pool. See attached pics. I have a Sta Rite P2R pump assembly beneath a Harmsco BetterFilter 84BKM cartridge filter. The PVC pipes are 1.5". I also have a Polaris 180 pool cleaner with separate booster pump. Pool is about 15k gallons. Recommendation?

    Yes, the current electrical setup is 230V. My current pump motor is only 1.25 hp.....ECM16SQU shows as 1.65 hp. Would that extra hp be a problem or would just running at the programmed reduced RPM's be ok? Any chance you have a variable speed motor that is 1.25 hp?

Hello This appears to work as a replacement on a Hayward SP2310X15 with a C48D43A04 Hayward Max Flo Self priming pump? If so are there any other recommended parts recommended? Thanks in advance!

Yes, the ECM6SQU is the correct replacement motor for your C48D43A04. When replacing your pool pump motor, the shaft seal should be replaced as well to make sure no water leaks into your brand new electric motor. Your Hayward MaxFlo XL SP2300X Series requires the SPX2700SA shaft seal.

Hello Bob.  Yes, this would be a replacement for the 1 HP Impower VS square flange motor.  The Century V-Green 1.65 HP motor has a slightly greater HP which is compatible.  The correct shaft seal is determined by the pump model.  Please provide that additional information either via new text or pictures of the entire pump inclusive of the plumbing connections in order to identify which Hayward pump model is currently installed.

Hello Mike.  The Century V-Green 1.65 HP square flange variable speed motor is an energy-efficient motor and is an excellent replacement for your single speed.  It will fit the existing pump housing and is compatible with the existing impeller.  When transitioning to a new motor, additional parts are necessary.  A GOKIT will provide the necessary items.  Attached please find that information.  There are 2 varieties; one is for standard chlorine pools.  The other is for saltwater pools.   Tune Up Kit Pentair/Purex Whisperflo Saltwater - GOKIT32SALT   Tune Up Kit Pentair/Purex Whisperflo - GOKIT32

Will the ECM16SQU work as a replacement motor for my whisperflo wfe-2 housing. The current motor has bearings that have gone bad. I was looking at the cheaper replacement motor, however I am leaning toward the variable speed and energy efficiency that this pump has to offer. My concern was with the current setup being a 56Y frame and the replacement appears to be a 48Y frame. Also would I need a seal kit like the GOKIT32. Thank you for the Help.

Trying to find a more efficient and quieter motor and pump combo for a coy fish pond that runs 24/7. Current motor is a Century Centurion 7-177450-03 at 1 HP.

Hi Don, a variable-speed motor will save you a lot on your electric bill when it is set up properly.  Your Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro has a 1-1/2HP motor but with a service factor of 1.5 so the total HP (click here for the explanation)  is actually 2.25.  You will need this V-Green 2.7 HP Variable Speed Motor - ECM27SQU and the GoKit79 for the seals. We do not have a saltwater version of that kit, so order the Heavy Duty(Saltwater Pools) Shaft Seal PS-3868 in addition to the GoKit.

    Thanks that is great information. I checked in my notes from my pool service they recommended whenever the time comes to replace that motor it could be a 3/4 hp motor ( don’t know about the SF). Does that make sense or change the variable speed motor recommendation?
     Reply

    • Commented on 1/20/2022 by InyoPools Product Specialist Megan C.

      If the total HP on the motor is 2.25THP as shown in the images, it is best recommended to replace it with the ECM27SQU if you are seeking the most energy-efficient way to operate the circulation pump. The motor has the technology to circulate the water based on the weight of the impeller from 0.5THP to 2.70THP. If you only reduced to a 3/4THP motor you will run the risk of not having enough pump for priming purposes and circulation using the single speed 3/4HP motor and you will require changing the impeller and diffuser to meet the needs of the lower HP single speed motor.

Hello Jon.  The Century Motors 1.65HP (1.65 total horsepower, THP) ECM16SQU by itself would not be a suitable replacement for the Century Motors ST1152 (2.20 total horsepower).  The Hayward Super Pump VS Motor Upgrade Kit - 1.65HP - MKIT3VS16 includes the necessary impeller replacement, shaft seal, and gaskets for the Hayward Super Pump SP2610X15.  If your pool circulation system has roof-mounted solar heating panels, water fountains, or other features you may consider the Hayward Super Pump VS Motor Upgrade Kit - 2.7HP - MKIT3VS27.   The MKIT3VS27 would be more capable of matching the water flow volume of the SP2610X15 with the ST1152.

Hi, We bought 2 replacement pump motors from you a few years ago that are still working great, but I want to replace the filter pump motor with a variable speed pump motor. I will leave the in ground cleaning motor as a single stage. The motors that we got were '1 HP Standard Motor - Full Rate (B2848) according to our receipt. Is this the correct motor-and what tune up kit do I need? I believe that I have an extra kit (from another supplier) but it can't hurt to have another available. Thanks

Please click here to view your seal kit options. Yours will depend on whether your swimming pool is a chlorine or saltwater pool and the pump year of manufacturer.

Can I replace my current SuperFlo high performance pump motor (Model SF-N1-1A / Part # 340038) with a more energy efficient variable speed motor? If so, what are my choices and what else would I need?
 Reply

A  Answered on 8/31/2023 by InyoPools Product Specialist Jacob F.

Hello, You would be able to replace your current motor with either the ECM16SQU or the EVQ165; these are higher HP motors, but because they are variable-speed, you can throttle down the RPMs as needed. To use these motors, you would need to replace the impeller and also replace the seals on your pump-- to replace those components, you would want to purchase Pentair Impeller for Challenger 1 HP Full Rate 1.5 HP Up Rate- 355074 and the Pentair SuperFlo, Sta-Rite SuperMax Saltwater Seal Kit - Model GOKIT78SALT

You would want to replace the impeller to protect against potential overheating, and the impeller and diffuser you will need will be dependent on your pump housing. For your pump, you would want to purchase the Pentair Impeller for Challenger 1 HP Full Rate 1.5 HP Up Rate- 355074 and the Diffuser for Pentair PacFab Sta-Rite SuperFlo, SuperMax, Pinnacle Pool and Spa Pump, 1.5-2.0HP - 355618.
