• Replace your pool motor with the same horsepower as original motor.
• Replace your pool motor with the same speed motor (single or 2 speed.)
• Replace your pool motor with the same Voltage 115V, 230V or 115/230V*.
• Replace your pool motor with the same Frame Type.
• View the Nameplates to the left for reference.

Magnetek Nameplate

AO Smith Nameplate

*115V motors can only be wired with 110-120V; 230V motors can only be wired with 208-245V. Reversible motors (115/230V) will come factory wired for 230V. You must switch the motor to Low voltage before connecting 115V power. Wiring incorrectly will burn out a new pool motor!

All motors are factory tested before shipment. Most motors returned as "defective" have been mis-wired, and are not accepted as returns. Please wire with care, and please call if you have questions!

Mechanical Shaft Seals

The Shaft Seal prevents water from seeping along the shaft and draining out behind the impeller.

Pool Motor Repair Tips:

• Replace your Shaft Seal whenever you replace the motor, or your pool pump is leaking down the back side of the seal plate, and onto the ground below.

For information on replacing pool motors, seal or capacitor, Visit our Pumps and Motors Technical Arcticle in our Pool Info Section.

Seal # 100 - 5/8" shaft

Motor Capacitors

The Capacitor is the battery for your pool motor. Provides the energy needed while starting, to reach 3450 rpm quickly.

Pool Motor Repair Tips:

• Replace your Capacitor when the shaft can be spun freely with a wrench or by hand, and when
  powering the motor, you hear a 'buzz' or a 'hum' from the motor, but no impeller movement.
• Replace your old capacitor with an exact match to the 'MFD' number on the new capacitor.

#36 - 43 MFD

Motor Bearings

The Bearings, front and rear, on the shaft of the motor's rotor, keep the rotor rotating within the stator of the motor, very smoothly and precisely. These bearing races are sealed and non-serviceable.

Pool Motor Repair Tips:

• Replace your Bearings when the noise level exceeds your tolerance level.
• Replace your old motor bearings with the exact match bearing size (see chart below)
