Can you replace single speed pump motor with dual speed pump motor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 5/16/2007 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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.
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/18/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

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.

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 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.
