How To: Find a Replacement Pool Pump Motor

At the moment I’m writing this, Spring is blooming around me. Depending on where you live in US that means lawnmowers are roaring, grasshoppers are chirping, and old pool motors are screeching. That’s right, that old pool motor you were hoping to limp through the season, has lost its last leg and now you have to find a replacement. But you see a scramble of ratings and decimals on the motor.

Well, let Rob and I show you the best way to find a pool pump motor replacement.

Here’s the steps to finding your motor replacement:

Step 1

Take a picture of your motor label.

Step 2

Go to INYOPools.com, enter the Part, Catalog (CAT), or Model number from the label into the keyword search. A little insider tip: this type of part number can be searched using the full length or by using just the middle six digits.

But if your search pulls a few results, or your still not sure which motor you need, we have the next step.

Step 3

To confirm you found the right motor, match your motor label’s HP, Service Factor, and Frame ratings.

If, after your search, you’re still not sure which motor is right for you, email your motor label’s picture to upload@inyopools.com to have service techs help you.
