What is Service Factor?
 Reply

A  Answered on 1/11/2012 by InyoPools Product Specialist Patrick P.

Service Factor(SF) is a multiplier that when multiplied by the horsepower of the motor indicates the total permissible horsepower loading that may be carried when the motor is operating at rated voltage and frequency. The most important thing to remember when replacing a motor is that the replacement motor's horsepower times its service factor must be equal to or greater than the original motor's horsepower times its service factor. The Service Factor rating can be found on the motor label. See Step 4 of our How to Read a Pool Motor Label guide.

I have this motor, it just hums. I removed it and shaft spins freely. Could it be the capacitor ? And if so where can I get one.

I have a 7-193634-06 that I want to replace. You list the B130 here as a replacement for mine, however mine has an SF of 10.5 and you list 1.2 for B130. Will it still work?
 Reply

A  Answered on 2/29/2016 by InyoPools Product Specialist Hector F.

If your part number on your motor is as you provided being the 7-193634-06 then this is the correct replacement motor. It looks the 10.5 number that you are referring to is actually the amps rating on the motor.

I have one of these that just blew and I am wondering if I could replace it by a lower HP motor such as the B228SE since it is only feeding my waterfall through a dedicated CJ250 filter (125gpm). I only use it 5 minutes a day to cycle the water a bit so that algae does not settle and on occasion 2-4 hrs straight. Thanks.

A  Answered on 4/23/2017 by InyoPools Product Specialist Scott W.

I will need to know what the distance from your pump to the waterfall is in feet so I can calculate the flow rate to be able to confirm if you can decrease the horsepower on your pump.

Hi. I installed my Century Centurion model B130 up to my Jandy JPH2.0CP two years ago and it ran flawlessly until today. Now, it’s hot, and repeatedly cycles in its attempt to start; and has a loud hum when doing so. Do you think it’s the motor or could it possibly be the capacitor?

A  Answered on 7/24/2018 by InyoPools Product Specialist Lennox H.

Hi, Tom. All those symptoms are indicators that the motor is bad. However, you can test the capacitor just to be sure. Steps are available in our How to Test a Pool Pump Capacitor blog.

    Thanks Alex. Is there a difference between this one and the USN1202? I’m thinking our original motor was the USN1202, and the crappy home warranty company replaced it with a rebuilt B130. I remember replacing the capacitor on the end of the motor (not on top) before the rebuilt motor was installed. The model number is worn off of the pool pump, so I can’t be sure of which one it is. I guess the question is does it matter which motor we use? Is one better than the other? Thanks, Kim
