I need to replace my the capacitor on my 1.5HP pool pump. Do you carry the capacitor I need?

A  Answered on 1/23/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Please note that capacitors store an electric charge and should be handled with the utmost caution and care. We do not encourage handling a capacitor without any type of safety measures in place and highly recommend contacting a professional service company for repair/replacement. For those that feel comfortable changing the capacitor here's  >How to replace a pool pump capacitor. In order to match up the capacitor you will need more specifications on the capacitor. You will need to match the voltage, the MFD, whether or not the capacitor is a >run or >start type and the actual dimensions of the capacitor body.

Most motors have both a start capacitor and a run capacitor it sounds like you may have switched out your start capacitor when you run capacitor needs to be replaced.

I have a 2 horsepower to Hayward Super Pump I believe the start Capacitor went on. I can't find a part number for a replacement, do you know what it is? And is there a run capacitor in this type of pump also?

So in order to cross reference the correct capacitor we would need the motor model, part number or catalog number.

I switched my Hayward pump from 110 to 220VAC. Followed the instructions for the jumper settings. Pump runs fine, but I have had two starter capacitors, 61-193 MFD (BC-161), go out in just a few months. Should I switch to a higher voltage rating cap? Never had a cap fail when it was 110.

What is the current voltage on the capacitor that you have?
 Reply


A  Answered on 6/25/2019 by Industry Professional

No, stay with the same rating on your capacitor. Unfortunately there is no way to determine why you have gone thru 2 lately. It should have nothing to do with the change in voltage as the mfg chose that specifically for the dual voltage motor. Your motor windings could be going bad/weak, it could be the new capacitors themselves.
