Can you replace single speed pump motor with dual speed pump motor?
Reply
Yes but you can't go with a higher HP than the single speed motor. For example if you have a 1 HP single speed you cannot go with a 1.5 HP dual speed motor; you would be able to use a 1 HP dual speed motor. Customer would need to purchase a toggle switch or timer to switch from high speed to low speed.

I'm trying to find a replacement motor for my pool pump but my model number doesn't match what you have listed as the model number. My model number begins with a C48 and yours begins with an SP. Please help.

What we have listed on our chart pages is the pump model number. The model number you have will just identify the motor. If you look on the plastic housing on the pump there should be a sticker which will have the pump model number. You can usually find this by the discharge port on the pump. Once you locate it you can choose the correct replacement motor. Be certain to change the shaft seal and gaskets as needed. You can use our >How to guide if you need help.

Hi, We will have to know what model or p/n of the 2 Speed Toggle Switch that you have operating that motor. If you're not sure you can replace the entire cover with the 2 Speed Toggle Switch (18313301).

I am looking for a 50 cycle motor for my 1.5 hp Pentair Opti Flow pump.

Hello Andrea, I found the Pentair Optiflo Pump - 3/4 to 1 1/2 HP Parts breakdown. In the motor section (#15) the single speed replacement for your pump is the 1.5 H.P 230/115V Thru Bolt Motor (BN35). I was not able to find reference to any additional 50 cycle motor. (There is also a 1 1/2 HP 2 Speed 115V Thru Bolt Motor available as well part #BN50)

Hi Jeff, The BN37 motor is the correct motor for the PH2150-3R pump. The "SPL" does not reference the actual hp of the pump.

I am getting a1 1/2 HP 2 Speed 115V Thru Bolt Motor (External Capacitor) - BN50 motor to replace a bad motor in my spa. (this is supposed to replace the bad motor: Emerson T55MWBLJ motor).
The pump attached to the end of the motor is: 6500-345.
Can you tell me which "tuneup" o-ring seal kit to get for this pump?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Bob, We do not have a tune up kit available for the 6500-345 model pump but the Jacuzzi Shaft Seal 200 3/4" (10150209) and Cover Gasket (47025853) are the parts needed. If you need any other parts they can be found on the Jacuzzi Piranha Series Pump Parts page.

Hi Kay, I was not able to cross reference the info provided to the BN50V1 motor. If you can provide additional info like the pump model, CAT, PART or MOD number I can confirm if it is.

We have an AO Smuth spa motor and are looking into buying parts to fix a leak, or possibly replacing the entire motor. Current part#: 7-177803-02, FR: U48Y, Type: CDM, PH: 1, CAT: BN50, Volts: 115. Would this be the correct replacement motor? Also, are there any replacement parts available for the pump we currently have?
Reply
The BN50 is the correct replacement motor. For me to find the correct seals and gasket for your pump, I'll need to know what model your pump is that the motor goes to.
Reply
can this motor's speed be varied or are the rpms fixed?
Reply
Hello, normally on a single speed motor the RPM is 3450, but for a duel it's 3450/1725. This BN50 is a duel speed motor which has 1.5hp or .25hp.

is it possible that the seal on the motor goes bad and I just have to buy a motor ? the pump is apart from the motor right?
Reply
If you are replacing the motor you will also need to replace the shaft seal. I can help you with that, I just need the model of your pump. If you do not know attach a picture of your complete pump and I will identify it for you.

Hi,
Will this pump work as a replacement for the Century P/N: 0-193391-02 pump? I am looking for a 2 speed pump to save some money in the long run and this seems to be it. I know I will need to purchase a switch. This a pic of current pump data plate. Thanks for any help-guidance.
Hi, Ted. Yes, this BN50V1 along with the Two-Speed Toggle Switch Assy. - Lo/Off/Hi - 18313301 can be used as a dual speed replacement for your existing motor. You can also use the Hayward OEM Motor w/ Switch - SPX1515Z2ES.

Could this be used to replace a pentair dynamo 1hp? Yes, I realize the hi/low/off switch is also needed.
I have the A.O. Smith 1.5 HP Thru-Bolt 48Y Dual Speed Motor - BN50V1 already. Is there a pump that you recommend?

Hi. This BN50V1 motor can be used with many different pumps for pool and spa applications. In order to assist you, I will need to know the model of your pump.

I need to replace the pump and motor on a o Smith part 7-177803-02 frame u48y rpm 3450 115 volt 1.5 horse power cat BN50, 1 1/2 fittings. I also want to purchase the capacitor. Mine is in the inside cover of the motor. Could you help me. The BN50 looks like the motor I need to order but the capacitor is on the top
Good day, yes this would be the correct motor and the START CAPACITOR, 108-130 MFD (BC-108) PART # 5270-10
Reply
Correct replacement? I ask also because the original is 2hp while this motor is 1.5hp. Is this an issue? Thanks!
Mike, Yes, the BN50 would be the correct replacement. A 2.0 HP SPL is actually a 1.5 HP. The "SPL" is a special rating that some manufacturers use to rate their pumps an motors. Please be sure to change your shaft seal when you replace the motor.
Reply
So I must purchase elsewhere? Can I not use this motor? The part is for your motor right? Do you not know what type seal to use?
Reply
Yes, we do carry the BN50V1 and I was able to locate on Carvin/Jacuzzi's web page that the shaft seal is part number 5250-1212. We just do not carry the actual complete seal kit, the complete pump or those pump main parts besides the motor.

I bought the Century 1.5 HP Thru-Bolt 48Y Dual Speed Motor - BN50V1 and I noticed that it does not come with an attached electrical chord. Is this normal? I am replacing my existing motor model # SD - 20-2N11MD. Part # 3420610-2014. It has a twist lock 3 prong plug.
Can I use that same plug on the new motor?
Hi Scott, Yes this is normal and you will remove cord from current motor and install on the new motor.

Is this a replacement for a Marathon C1246 1.5 HP Motor ???
Reply
Hi Phil, the direct single-speed replacement motor for the motor catalog number C1246 is the USQ1152. It is also recommended to replace the seals when replacing the motor. We would just need to know the model name or number of the front pump wet end housing that the motor attaches to in order to confirm that for you. You can also upload a few images of that housing in a reply here if you need assistance with that.

I currently have a Century 1.5HP 2 speed motor (Model: F48AD32A77) on my above ground pool. I am needing to replace the current motor. This motor seems to be the correct replacement, but I wanted to verify before ordering. Can you also send me the part numbers to replace the seals while it is apart. Thanks.

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. Once we get those photos we can make the proper recommendation.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for the photos! You would actually need this BN37 Replacement Motor and you will also need this Carvin SharkJet Shaft Seal
Reply
The replacement pump you are suggesting is a 1hp pump. The one I currently have is a 1.5hp. Does this matter?
Reply
Hi Thomas, Yes this would be the correct replacement motor. Carvin uses a SPL HP which means the 1.5 SPL HP is the same as the 1 HP Standard HP, I know it is confusing but the motor suggest would be correct, you will notice that the amps on your motor and the suggested motor are very similar and that will be the most important thing to match up on.

The correct replacement motor for your pool pump is the...Century 1.5 HP Square Flange 48Y Full Rate Motor - SQ1152The Tune-Up Kit depends of the actual manufacturer and model of your pump (not your motor). It looks like from the pictures it might be a Pentair. If you have the model you can go to this page and find the kit for your model...Go-Kits
