Finding a Motor for A Swimming Pool Pump

If your swimming pool pump is starting to run loudly or making strange noises, it might be time for a new pump motor. Though replacing a motor can seem daunting, we’re here to help you easily identify your replacement motor. It is important that the total horsepower (Service Factor x Horsepower) of your new motor is greater than or equal to the total horsepower of your old motor. Below is a picture of a pump label, where you’ll find all of the information you’ll need when purchasing or replacing your pool pump motor.
Pool Pump Service Tag
We’ve highlighted the most important considerations: horsepower, voltage, amperage, hertz, service factor, and phase. Matching up these items on your new pump will ensure that your water will be filtered correctly. We also recommend that you purchase a go-kit that includes new shaft seal gasket and other miscellaneous gaskets and seals that should be replaced.
Now that you have a idea of what you will need, replacing your pool pump motor yourself will save you money and make you more knowledgeable of how your pool filtration system works.

Our downright awesome team of knowledgable people are committed to giving you all the latest pool and spa trends, information, and much more.

    My main circulation motor and pump is close to 10 years old. I want to replace the motor and overhaul the pump. The name plates are faded. I tried to copy as much information as I could. I hope it makes sense to you. Please let me know which motor and overhaul kit I need to order (BTW- Does this motor have a keyed shaft or screwed shaft?). Thank you very much in advance for your help. Daniel Tran.

    I have a Jandy system that includes the Auqualink RS4. My main pump motor has a bearing going out and instead of just changing the bearing, I was interested to see if there is a more efficient motor I can switch to. Motor is Centurion part number 7-193633-24 2 HP mounted on a Jandy stealth pump part number JHPU 2.0

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Warren, You could replace that motor with the one linked here. You will also want to replace the seal with the generic replacement linked here as the OEM seal is no longer available. Most times it’s also a good idea to replace the gasket which you can find linked here. Let me know if you have any questions! -Christian

  13. Peter says:

    I have the AO Smith C48K2N143B1 PUMP. Which is a 1HP pump. It seems to be burning out. My pool is a 23k gallon DE pool. Can I upgrade to 1.5 HP or should I go even higher? Should a 1HP pump be enough. My pump doesnt seem to be pulling enough water through the system.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Peter, You can go either way with that pool size 1 or 1.5 HP. If you don’t feel you are getting adequate circulation with a 1 HP pump go ahead and switch to 1.5 but keep in mind that your electric bill will go up. Let us know if you have any questions!

    The circut breakers to my pool system shutdown. When I reset the breaker the power came back but the filter pump does not run. I heard a clicking noise in the control box whn I tried switching on the motor manually. I have an AO Smith Part # 7-193988-20. The Pool cleaner motor works along with the pool lights etc… Is there a reset buton on the motor itself that can be reset? Can you help? Thanks

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

  17. Billy says:

    I have a AO Smith Century Centurion motor Part# 7-177475-20 that started making a sporadic noise. I turned off the power to the pump and then turned it back on. Now it only makes a buzzing noise so i turned it right back off. I checked the impeller it’s not broken and the shaft turns. What do you think might be the problem? Perhaps something internal with the motor maybe?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Billy, a buzzing noise can be caused by debris stuck in the impeller. You can remove the motor from the pump to access the impeller and make sure it’s clear of debris. If you’ve cleared all debris and it’s still making noise, then we recommend contacting the manufacturer for additional troubleshooting steps. If it’s something internal with the motor, we suggest consulting a qualified pool technician to come out and check out your equipment. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance.

  18. Mark says:

    I have a AO Smith Centurion switchless pool pump motor that needs replacing. The model number is 7-193987-24. What is the replacement for it? Also, what seals and o-ring will I need?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Mark, in order to find the correct replacement motor, we would need to know the horsepower, voltage, and frame size of your existing motor. If you can also provide us with the make, model, and part number of your pump, that will not only help us find the motor, but the proper seals and o-rings, as well. This will help us narrow down the correct parts you need.

  19. Troy says:

    I have a AO Smith Century Centurion that needs replacing. Part 7-177475-20. The impeller is also shredded. What do I need to buy?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Troy, the part number you provided is for your pump’s motor only. While you could replace it and your impeller, it may be more prudent to replace your entire pump. If you prefer to replace the parts alone, you can replace the motor with the Century A.O. Smith Centurion 56Y Square Flange 1-1/2 HP Up-Rated Pool and Spa Pump Motor – 16.0/8.0A 115/230V.

      With this motor, you should also replace the seals and o-rings, but in order to recommend the proper kit, and in order to recommend the replacement impeller, we will need to know the make and model number of your pool pump itself, not just its motor. If you can provide us with this information, we will be happy to make a recommendation. For immediate assistance, please feel free to contact us directly.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Jose, in order to recommend the proper replacement for your Emerson motor, we’re actually going to need to know a bit more information. If you can please provide with the make and model number of the motor, that will allow us to cross-reference a replacement. If you cannot find a model number, please let us know its voltage, frame, and rating, and we’ll be happy to offer some recommendations.

  22. sam says:

    Hi. I have pentair superflo pumps and they are always breaking or at least that is what my pool guy is saying. Want to know if the Challenger series is a very good pump for a pool that has an inground system, waterfall, and spa. I have four pumps. one for filter, one for cleaner, one for spa and one for waterfall. My inground system has been average. I have a 1 hp motor on it now. Is it better to go to a 1.5 for better pressure.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Sam, the Challenger pump is definitely more powerful in comparison to the Superflo. With an output of about 30-35GPM, you can stick with a 1HP Challenger pump. Was your Superflo not giving enough flow to your system? If not, then the Challenger will be a great choice. If you’re looking to increase flow to your water features, a 1.5HP will work.

      Because you have multiple pool features, you may want to consider replacing your multiple pumps with a variable-speed pump, like the Pentair IntelliFlo VS. The IntelliFlo VS is a 3HP pump that is designed to meet the precise needs of your pool, and can be programmed for up to eight different speeds for a variety of pool applications, including general filtration, an automatic cleaner, spa and waterfall. Aside from its versatility, one of the major pluses with the IntelliFlo is that it can save up to 90% on energy consumption when compared to a traditional single-speed pump. Please note, if you operate a pressure-side cleaner that uses a booster pump, you will still need the booster.

      If you have any further questions about replacement pumps, please feel free to give us a call for immediate assistance.

  23. Mark says:

    I have a Pentair pump Part Number 7-177475-20. 1-1/2 HP. Need to order new one, can I just order the motor itself or the do I have order the whole setup? Can you advise the model for the replacement motor?

  24. Sun says:

    Will this new Inteliflow Pentair Variable Speed 3hp work with my Goldline panel? I am really excited about this motor. Unfortunately, the pool installers used mostly Hayward. I have been trying to slowly replaced all those “very loud” motors. Please advice. Thank you

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Sun, the Pentair IntelliFlo VS is an excellent, energy efficient and quiet pump that can certainly work with Hayward Goldline products, but you will not be able to control the functions of your Goldline products from the IntelliFlo’s built-in control. The IntelliFlo VS can be programmed for up to eight precise speeds to meet the needs of your pool and applications, including a Goldline solar heating system or salt chlorinator, but it will not know exactly what it is controlling.

      If you have a Hayward automatic control system, you can install a Pentair IntelliComm II Interface Adapter in order to allow your IntelliFlo to communicate with your Hayward control. If you have further questions, please feel free to call us for immediate assistance.

    I’m trying to find a replacement motor for my Jandy pump. The model number is 7-193993-05 any help is greatly appreciated. I also need the impeller component that mounts to the motor. Thank you.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Tom, in order to recommend the proper replacement motor and impeller for your pump, we will need to know the part number of your pump itself. Unfortunately, the number you provided does not give us enough information to go by. If you could please provide us with your pump’s part number, we would be happy to recommend the appropriate replacement parts. For immediate assistance, please feel free to contact us directly.

    I have a skc38sn6084ax marathon pump HP1 V115/230 HZ 60 SF 1.25 PH 1 the back piece that attaches to the basket via 4 bolts has cracked – the piece that I have to hook up to the pump by clamping it together is cracked – how can I replace that part and how much will it cost. Many thanks.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Derek, it sounds like what you are experiencing is likely a cracked seal plate. At this time, no replacement parts are manufactured for Marathon motors, and therefore you will need to replace your entire pump. To determine the best pump for your pool, could you please provide us with your pool’s type and size, your filter type and size and the features you have on your pool (automatic cleaner, waterfall, spa, etc.). If you would like immediate assistance, please feel free to contact us directly, and a customer care agent will be happy to assist you.

  28. Nate says:

    We have a free form pool. 3 waterfalls and 2 separate motors. 1. 1hp motor single speed for waterfalls. 2. One 11/2 hp filter pump motor 2 speed. The original setup was one 1 1/2 for the waterfalls. Worked for 8yrs. The second original filter pump motor 3hp. worked for 8 yrs. The new 1hp waterfall motor is the third pentair installed and had to be rebuilt. The new 11/2 hp filter pump motor only works on high for 5min then drops down to a very low speed that will not even move the in pool sweeper around. We have to turn on the water fall motor and the filter pump motor to clean the pool. We were told the original motors were too much power. Really our total bill for electric is 185.00. Run time used to be 4hrs. Now our elec. bill is 200.00 and we have to run the two motors together, when they work, for 16hrs and the water fall for 2hrs. Originally, 3hp for 4hrs Now 2 1/2hp for 2 then 16hrs. This is not a savings and I have been told in California this is what Edision Electric wants. Can you help? Nate

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Nate, we definitely understand the frustrations that come with energy consuming pool pumps and costly electrical bills, and it is pool configurations like yours that benefit the most from variable speed pumps. Rather than single and dual speed pumps that consistently stay at one high speed, variable speed pumps are designed to switch between low and high speeds depending on the application desired. This is critical to lowering energy use and reducing high utility bills.

      For example, the Pentair IntelliFlo VS is a great choice for pools with multiple features, including general circulation, waterfalls, pool cleaners and more. It includes eight different speed settings to choose from, ranging from 450 RPM to 3450 RPM and uses an integrated timer that allows you to set different speeds throughout the week, which means it will switch between higher and lower speeds at the times you choose. For example, you can set the IntelliFlo VS to run at a higher RPM for your multiple water fountains for two hours, before setting it at the lowest RPM for general circulation.

      Because you have multiple waterfalls, it is also recommended to take a look at the Pentair IntelliFlo VF. Like the IntelliFlo VS, the IntelliFlo VF offers multiple speeds to choose from and includes a timer to set speeds throughout the week. However, it is designed to automatically adjust its speed to maintain the flow rate chosen, and therefore it is a great option for pools with water features that require a certain water pressure. As with the VS, the IntelliFlo VF is a suggested way to save on high energy bills.

      If you’re interested in choosing a new pump, we welcome you to give us a call for immediate, one-on-one assistance. A customer service representative will be happy to offer any advice on energy saving tips and variable speed pumps to help lower your electricity bills.

  29. Stephan says:

    Hello, we are purchasing a home that has a small/medium in-ground pool (sorry, I don’t know the number of gallons). The previous owner stated the motor burned out, so I would like to replace it soon. It currently has a AO Smith motor attached to a Jandy Stealth pump (1.5HP). I would like to see about upgrading to a Pentair VS or VF. Can you tell me if this would be a good match? Here are the motor specs: AO Smith,part #7-193633-24, Type CX, FR: P56J, Phase 1, 60Hz, 3450 rpm, 230/115 volts, Amps SF 9.2/18.4. Thank you!

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Stephan, either the IntelliFlo VS or IntelliFlo VF would be a great replacement for your Jandy Stealth pump, but which IntelliFlo is right for you will depend on the type of control you are looking for as well as the equipment on your pool. The IntelliFlo VS can be manually programmed for up to eight custom speeds while the IntelliFlo VF will automatically self-set and self-adjust to meet the flow rate needs of your pool. You can learn more about the differences between the two pumps in our IntelliFlo VS and IntelliFlo VF Comparison blog.

      If you have a solar heating or in-floor cleaning system, we would recommend the IntelliFlo VS over the VF because the change in water pressure caused by your solar or in-floor cleaning system may trigger the built-in blockage detection system in the VF, causing the pump to shut off.

      When installing an IntelliFlo pump, we highly recommend contacting a local pool service technician. If you have further questions about which IntelliFlo pump is right for you, please feel free to give us a call for immediate assistance.

  30. S. Andrew Harris says:

    We have a 17,500 gallon in-ground pool, free form, and we are located on the Gulf Coast of Central Florida. Our pool pump motor is currently a single speed up-rated 1 Horsepower Marathon Electric unit, model number SKC38SN6084AX. Voltage 115/230 / Amperage 14.0/7.0 / Hertz 60 / Service Factor 1.25 / Phase 1. Please recommend an energy efficient alternative, preferrably with an energy efficient variable speed pump.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi S., for your 17,500 gallon free form pool, we highly recommend the Pentair IntelliFlo VS. This variable-speed pump can save up to 90 percent on energy consumption when compared to standard single-speed pumps. With the IntelliFlo VS, you can set up to eight custom speeds between 450 and 3,450 RPM to meet your pool’s needs, and its built-in timer allows you to program a weekly performance schedule. The IntelliFlo VS is built with an extremely-efficient permanent magnet motor and has a totally enclosed, fan-cooled design that promotes durability, longevity, high-quality performance and quiet operation. If you have any further questions on the IntelliFlo VS or other variable-speed pumps, please don’t hesitate to ask.

  31. ed says:

    I bought a StaRite pump for my inground pool from you a year or so ago. Can I replace the motor with a variable speed motor?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Ed, while it is possible to replace your existing single-speed motor with a variable-speed, it would require replacing the motor, drive and impeller, and at that point, it is recommended to replace your entire pump with a variable-speed pump. If you can tell us the make and model number of your existing pump, we will be happy to find the pieces you need for a complete retrofit, or if you’d like, we can offer some great suggestions on variable-speed pool pumps, such as the Pentair IntelliFlo VS. If you have any further questions or would like immediate assistance, please feel free to contact us directly.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Lynn, in order to recommend a suitable replacement motor for your Jandy Stealth pump we will need to know the part number of your current motor, and the part number of your pump, if possible. If you could please provide us with these numbers, we will be happy to recommend a replacement. If you cannot find the number, please provide us with as much information from your motor’s information plate as possible. Please feel free to contact us for immediate assistance.

  34. Steve White says:

    Hello, I need a replacement pump for our pool. The previous home owner moved the pump and filter from the spa to the main pool probably because he didn’t want to spend the additional money. I am interested to know if the Pentair IntelliFlo 3HP Variable Speed Ultra Energy-Efficient Pool Pump – 011018 will work as my main motor and what additional pieces would be required. I need it by the third week of march delivered to my home. Thanks Steve

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Steve, the Pentair IntelliFlo 3HP Variable Speed Pool Pump is an extremely energy efficient pump that is a great addition to most pools, but whether it will be a fit for your pool depends on your pool type and size, as well as the current equipment and number of features you operate. The IntelliFlo VS can be set to run at up to eight different speeds (between 450 and 3,450 RPM) for up to eight different pool or spa functions. It is equipped with 2″ unions, and works best with 2″ plumbing. To better determine if the IntelliFlo VS or another pump would be the best fit for your pool, please feel free to give us a call, and one of our friendly, knowledgeable customer service representatives will be happy to assist you.

  38. P Best says:

    Like a previous inquiry (Patrece ), I have a A.O. Smith E-Plus Energy Efficient 56Y Square Flange 2 HP motor that I believe has a bad capacitor (hums but won’t spin). The motor is about 4 years old, so replacing the capacitor seems a reasonable solution. Do I need to disassamble the motor to determine the specs on the capacitor in order to get the right one? Would you likely carry the capacitor? I noticed that the capacitor sits atop the motor, can it be replaced without having to remove the motor?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi P Best, to determine the part number of your pool pump motor’s capacitor we would need to reference the motor’s model number or serial number, both of which you should be able to find on the name plate on your motor. If you could please provide us with this information, we’d be happy to help you track down the proper replacement capacitor and its installation procedures.

    • P Best says:

      The tag on the pump does not list Model Number, but does have a serial number: 35907CH. It does say Century Centurion on on the top of the tag. The “Part” is listed as O-193995-07

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi P Best, we are researching a replacement capacitor for your motor based on the additional information you provided, and someone will be in contact with you shortly regarding an answer. As for the installation procedure, since your capacitor sits atop your motor, you will not have to take the motor apart. All you’ll need to do is remove the capacitor cover, unlock the old capacitor, put the new one in and replace the cover. Thanks for you patience. We’ll be in contact soon!

      Hi Hiram, in order to determine the proper replacement for your current A.O. Smith Century Motor, we will need the model number of the motor, which should be located on its label. The number you provided, 1081, refers to a group of motors, and the actual model number will be more specific to your particular motor. If you can please let us know the part number, we will be happy to help you find the proper replacement motor and assist you in placing an order.

      Hi Stewart, the model number you provided for your pool pump motor, K63CXFCH-4989, is, unfortunately, not a valid model number. If you could please re-check your motor’s model number, and also provide us with the model number of your Hayward NorthStar Pump, we would be happy to help you track down the proper replacement motor. If you would like immediate assistance, please contact us, and one of our customer service representatives will be more than happy to help you.

    I need a replacement motor for a Jandy Stealth SHPF 2.0 pump. The original part number of the current motor is 7-193995-07, serial number 249063M. Here are the specs off of the motor label: Type: CX Frame: Y56Y HP: blank SF: blank Phase: 1 Hz: 60 RPM: 3450 Volts: 208-230 Amps SF: 11.0/10.0 Time: CONT Encl: DP Form: KJM I have also recently replace the motor on two Jandy Stealth SHPF 1.0 pumps. The original part number of those motors was 7-193993-05. I replacement them with an AO Smith 0-196255-05 (cat: B2841). Now I am wondering if this is the correct motor. After searching for the correct 2hp motor, I also ran across AS Smith Cat. B848. Not sure what the difference is, on is from the “Centurion® “1081” • Full Rate • High Service Factor” line and the other is from the “E-Plus® Energy Efficient “1081” • New Centurion • Full Rate” line. Here are the specs off of the original 1hp motor: Type: CX Frame: Y56Y HP: blank SF: blank Phase: 1 Hz: 60 RPM: 3450 Volts: 208-230/115 Amps SF: 7.8-7.4/14.8 Time: CONT Encl: DP Form: KJM Please let me know if the 1hp motors are the correct ones and can you also let me know which is the proper motor for the 2hp pump. Also, is there a better motor that you would recomment instead of those listed above??? Thanks for your help!

    What is the correct motor replacement for my Pentair Challenger 1 1/2 HP pump assembly Label 35-5460. The AO Smith centurion motor plate shows: Centurion 1 1/2 HP Part 7 168 453-24 Frame Y56Y Type CX Form KJM Serial CA07-22 Code j RPM 3450 230/115 volts 1081 pool pump duty mountHORIZ P/N 35-5340 No service factor shown What other seals etc should I order? Thanks

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Ed, in speaking with the manufacturer of your pump, the Pentair Challenger pump you have given us the part number to, model number 355460, does not match up to the A.O. Smith Centurion motor you mentioned, as the pump is a 2 HP pump and the motor is a 1-1/2 HP motor.

      Based on the motor’s serial number and part (7 168 453-24) you provided, the manufacturer of the motor suggests the A.O. Smith Century 56Y Square Flange 1-1/2 HP Up-Rated Pool and Spa Pump Motor – 8.0/16.0A 115/230V as a replacement motor, but before we can recommend it for certain, could you please re-check the part numbers on both your pump and motor, so we can be sure you will be getting the proper replacement? Thanks, and have a great day.

    I need a replacement new pool motor/pump. Current Brand is A C Smith Model Century 230 V, 60 Hz 2.4 HP motor. Can’t read the Amps but most probably its 15Amp. Do you need more information to quote for a new motor. Shipping Zip Code: 77498

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Terry, thanks for your great question. Yes, we do carry the motor for the Hayward Super Pump 1-1/2 HP pool pump. You can find it on our site listed as the Hayward Super Pump 1-1/2HP Replacement Pool Motor. We would also recommend that you replace your shaft seal assembly when you change out the motor to prevent water from leaking into the new motor. For this, you’ll want to go with the Hayward Pool Products Inc. OEM Seal Assembly. Please let us know if we can answer any other questions or assist you in placing an order.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi David, in order to find you a proper replacement motor for your Pentair WF-28 WhisperFlo Up-Rated Standard Efficiency 2HP Pool Pump – 22.4/11.2A 115/230V, we would need a bit more information from you on your current motor, including: shaft size, face, voltage and HP. Also, is the amperage you are specifying 10.5/21.0? It is crucial in replacing a pump motor that the specs match.

      From the specs you gave us, we believe a comparable pump motor from a different manufacturer would be the Emerson 56 Y-Frame Hayward TriStar Single Speed 2HP Up-Rated Premium Energy Efficient Pool and Spa Motor – 10.8/21.6A 115V/230V, however, before we can definitively recommend this motor to you, we need to be certain it is, in fact, the proper replacement. On another note, to prevent future issues with a new pump motor, make sure the wiring voltage matches the motor voltage (230v or 115v). If the voltages don’t match, the motor could burn up.

      Also, be sure to read the section on page four in your pump’s owner’s manual on “Care of Electric Motor”. You can find the owner’s manual linked as a PDF to your pump’s product page. If you could please provide us with the requested information, we would be happy to help you find the correct replacement motor for your WhisperFlo pump.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Larry, before we could give you a proper recommendation on a replacement motor for your pump, we would need a bit more information. While you provided some of the specs of your motor, if you could please provide us with the voltage of the motor, and most importantly (in determining the correct replacement), the model number of the motor, we would be more than happy to help you find the proper replacement motor for your pump.

    Hi Looking for a replacement motor for my Doughboy power pak III. 1 or 1.5 HP will do. Doghboy #’s 300-1091 and 300-1092. Thanks, Tim

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Tim, thank you for your question regarding a replacement for your Doughboy Power Pak III. Are you looking for a UL or NEC model motor? If you are looking for a 1HP UL motor, you will need the Power Pak III 0-1076-000. If you are looking for a 1HP NEC motor, you will need a Power Pak III 0-1076-006. We do not currently carry either of these motors at PoolSupplyWorld, but if you could please contact us, we would be happy to work with you on a special order.

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Tim, in order to determine the proper replacement motor for your pool pump, we would need to know the make and model number of your current pump motor. If you could please provide us with the make and model number, we’ll be happy to help you find the proper replacement. Thanks, and have a great day.

    I have a Jandy pool pump with motorJHPU2.0. it is an A O Smith motor s/n BY03-13 p/n 8-19363-24 2 hp Voltage 230/115 Amps sf 9.2/18.4 60 hertz rpm 3450 type CX P56J phase 1 Which motor should I get for a replacement?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Al, in speaking with the manufacturer, they did not recognize the part number of the motor you specified (8-19363-24), as the middle group of numbers (19363) should have six numbers and the part number you mentioned has only five. If you could please recheck the part number of your motor and relay the full number to us, we would be more than happy to help you find the proper replacement motor.

  51. Don says:

    I have a Hayward Super Pump with a AO Smith 1HP motor wired for 115v. I was wondering if there was a more efficient motor I could put on this pump?

    • PoolSupplyWorld says:

      Hi Don, when replacing a pool pump’s motor, it is important to consider horsepower, voltage, amperage, hertz, service factor, and phase in order to ensure your water will be filtered correctly. If you could provide us with the said information, we would be more than happy to steer you toward the right, efficient replacement pump motor.
