The replacement motor is model B661. We also recommend replacing the seal kit. That would be gokit32 for a chlorine pool and gokit32salt for a salt pool.

I have a whisperflo WF-28 011774 almond with a 2 HP motor. It's over designed for my 10,000 gal pool. I want to take the opportunity that the motor burnt and bring down to 1HP motor. is it a direct replacement? thanks.

A  Answered on 6/4/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

He Leonardo, For your WF-28 you would actually need the  1 HP Replacement Motor you will also need to replace your 2 HP Impeller with this 1 HP Impeller otherwise you will burn up the 1 HP motor very quickly, finally you will also need a Pentair 1 HP Tune Up Kit.

I have a Pentair WhisperFlo WFE-8 (almond) with a motor that is AO Smith Century Centurions 2hp, 1.30 SF, part 7-177452-03, type CX, ph 1, volts 208-230, hz 60, rpm 3450. It is for my in-ground spa jets. I need to replace motor and would like to get the original model by pentair again (don't think this AO Smith is original). Can you tell me two options: (1) the original pentair motor to buy, (2) the exact replacement for this AO Smith current motor that is on the pump as shown above? Thanks.

Hi Jay, here is the exact WFE-8 Replacement Motor from Pentair for your pump, please note this is a 2.5 HP Up Rate Motor which is identical to your 2 HP Full Rate motor. A.O. Smith does make the motors for Pentair so here is 2 HP Full Rate B2843 AO Smith Replacement Motor which is the exact same as the Pentair motor with the exception of the color, the Pentair is Almond and the aftermarket AO Smith motor is black.

When i look at replacement motors, i am using the information located directly on the pump, i am given a replacement motor of only 1hp. It is a Pentair and looks the same as what i have, but i need 1.5hp. Why am i not getting matches for a 1.5hp ?

A  Answered on 7/15/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi Bobbye, You can use this 1 HP Full Rate OEM Motor (075234S) which has a total hp of 1.65 because of the service factor which is 1.65 or the B854 which is an UP Rate motor which also has a total hp of 1.65 but has a service factor of 1.10. The OEM 1.5 HP motor is p/n 355024S. Whichever motor you decide to go with I will also recommend getting the Pentair/Pac-Fab Pinnacle Tune Up Kit (GOKIT24).
