My current pump has a capacitor mounted on top. It looks like this one does not, will I need to buy a new capacitor to go with this pump?

This motor does not need a capacitor on the outside as there is already one mounted on the inside. I used it as purchased to run an in ground pool pump. Hope this helps.

No everything is self contained, you can hook your wiring up to 110 or it comes prewired to 220v, bolt it to your pump housing and you are ready to go.

The capacitor is actually under the removable cover for the electrical connections at the rear of the motor. The capacitor can be replaced. This motor works for a Heyward 3/4 hp super pump.

Shauna, there are two pieces that make up your pump, the wet end(plastic)and the motor that connects to the pump. The question is about your motor looking different than you current motor? If so, as long as you get the same hp or bigger motor and it is the type of motor for your pump (key shaft, square flange, or threaded shaft) you will be fine, some motors have the capacitor mounted in the rear. If you tell me the brand of pump and model you have I can tell you which motor to get. Good luck

I believe your thinking of the impeller. I took the old one off and installed it on the new pump.

On the pump I had to take the old and new pump apart at the impeller housing to make it work. I had to use the old impeller housing on the new pump. I tried swapping the mounting bracket on the pump but bolt holes did not line up.Vern

I am not using the pump in that type of configuration. Suggest you look at the specs to figure this out.

The old pump had the outer shell. It broke so I ordered a new pump. The new one doesn't have the outer shell, but works fine. I really don't know the purpose of the outer shell.

I don't know for sure, but you could compare this photo (and maybe dimensions info from Catit? from on-line catalog or sales info) with the part you want to replace. It's a basic pump, used for a lot of devices, and I would guess (that's _guess_) that it would probably be ok. It is a long-lived item that I've had for 3 or 4 years now, and so far so good. So, if it seems like it would do the job, send for it. Worst case: if it doesn't fit properly, you'd send it back. I hope this helps you!

The pump is hard wired, so there's no easy way to replace it. You can however remove it from the bottom of the filter holder, and clean it out. It may just be clogged preventing the impeller from spinning.

I think Amazon sells the replacement pumps. Or TOM Aquatics has an amazing support person whom I've talked to, and he has given me guidance on the running of my filter. Go on their website, and go to Technical Support, and that should get the ball rolling. The guy will personally call you, and help you out.

If you bought this from us (electric motor warehouse) we should have sent you a capacitor with the motor. The two brown wires for to the new capacitor. The black & white wires go to the power leads. You would hook up the black wire to where the old black wire went. The white wire on the new motor would go to the "C" terminal on the old 3-prong capacitor (probably where the yellow wire went from old motor) this is the other power source.

No your current system has a 80+5 capacitor because that's what your current engine requires. If order this motor, you can keep your current capacitor provided you've tested it properly and it is functioning properly. There's too numbers there, 80 and 5 so long as the first number is at least 50 that requirement is met. The second number is more precise. for example you could not go with a 50+7.5 capacitor, it has to be +5. In your case of having a 80+5, 80 is well higher rated than it needs to be so your good there, and the +5 is spot on so your current capacitor will work fine (again provided your capacitor hasn't gone bad.) Hope that helps.

Yes, assuming your old capacitor is still good. From the new motor: White would go to the "C" common, Brown capacitor wire would go to "Fan", black would go to power contact just like old motor. Put tape on the brown with white stripe. Note: We always include the required two prong capacitor, just in case the old one is bad. Barry

Hi Paul H,Is there any update ? Have you talked to your technician ? It's almost a week and that pump is still not doing anything, I really want it to work.Thank you.

Don't know for sure. Try googling youtube or other sources. Ours works great after replacing bad capacitors.

Mike, had this issue once with my old pump, I accidentally switched the L1 and L2 wires. Mark them first ( for the future) and swap them. I also heard to make sure the internal ground and the external copper ground is attached as well. Hope this helps, once you dial in the timers this pump is pretty awesome.

I found cleaning the pump intake solved the problem. When I took my out, it had cat hair plugging the intake side. Once I got it cleaned out, it works like new!

Hi Brandon, Sorry for the wait, but I am answering my wifes email. All I can tell you is that I a wire from the new circ pump to an existing ground wire from the main pump with the slug in-between knowiung the main pump was already grounded. I can tell you that the new circ pump I put in is working good. No issues. If you don't get it figured out, let me know and I will pull the door and give it a closer look. Good Luck, John.

i don't know. my son in law was told that the capacitor in my ac was going bad and it needed to be replaced. it would have cost a fortune to have the repairs done by the a/c company so he looked up the part on amazon and figured out it would work. it's shaped a bit different that the original but, he installed it and my a/c works fine. i don't know how he figured out that it would work even though slightly different. i hope you are able to figure it out.

Impeller lid?? My pump does not have a lid. I plugged it in 4 months ago and has not had an issue, you may want to contact the seller.
