I have 1.5 HP ,230 volt pump. The motor lasted 5 years it locked up how long should a motor last ? Is this good or bad for this motor.

Hard to say, but I have replaced 2 of thses pumps at about 5 years. One on a pool pump and one on a well pump. In both instances the bearings started to give out - and scream - so I just replaced the whole motor. I think 5 years is reasonble.

I have gone through two of the factory motors that were with my StaRite pump for my pool pump. I purchased this motor last summer as an alternative to paying the high StaRite price and look forward to see how it will compare. I have only had two months use out of mine so far. I would happy to see 5 years out of it as I have not gotten more than 3 years out of the factory motors.

I think 5 years is probably pretty good. Mine is on a swimming pool pump and I hope it will last 5 years. The motor I replaced it with only lasted 3 years.

Five years is pretty good I think depending on conditions that is kept in runtimes and if a lot of leaves gather a rounded the motor can hold moisture making it rust on the inside this could also shorten pump live

This motor has been running 6 days a week since we got it, with no troubles. If the RPM is correct for your application, then it would be a good choice

That motor is configurable for either 110 volts or 220 volts, which it calls Lo and Hi. You need to figure out what voltage your supply is and adjust the white and brown wires to the corresponding positions. When you change out the pump mark your wired and you should be fine.

Mine is working great! If you maintain the pump, like winterizing it, should work for several years,,,

The pump is junk. I installed it on an Onan lawn tractor engine and it lasted for two mowings. Go to NAPA and buy a Facet 60104.

The pump can last about 5-7 years depending on usage and the contents in your water. If you are in need of more specific information we recommend that you call us directly at 800.991.0466 ext 3 for tech support

I used this to replace my 14.5 hp motor. The only thing I had to change was the muffler. Check the shaft size and length, should be the same, vertical shaft motor.

It is only the motor. Your pump should attach to the new motor. Make sure you order new seals. You probably already know this but be sure you have your voltage switch on the same current as your old pump. Most are 120 but some are 220. Its very clearly marked.

I used mine for over a year - as long as I kept the valves replaced regularly it worked great almost the whole time. The last month or so I could tell the motor noise wasn't as strong as usual so I think it was on its last legs, but luckily I was past my 12-month goal so it wasn't a big deal.

That might work, and its a Lot cheaper than a New motor but you may have bad windings. I can't think of a way to "push" start it to see if it's just the cap.Assuming it's out of warranty, I'd disassemble the motor and check for corrosion and inspect the cap. If the new cap works, I'd replace all the seals on the pump and the motor bearings. At least lube the bolts incase you ever need to replace the bearings- mine was too corroded to crack the motor thanks to leaking seals.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, I was very unhappy with that pump. I warmed up my boat engine for about 15 minutes and let that pump run for about 20 minutes and bearly got a quart out. Used a hand pump and got the rest out in about 5 minutes

I think the motor had a 2 year warranty and the rest of it was 1 year or somewhere around 80hours. Going by memory on this. Usually generator work or they don't right away or within a few hours. Motors can develop issues over sometime.

5 years is a long time.The parts seem very stable after my first winter i expect mine to last 5 years easy.the only thing I would be concerned about going bad is the power adapter 12v 1.6A, i got several 12v 2A on amazon for around $5 so i am personally not that worried about it.one other point, the connectors are not built with a tight tolerance, if you get really cold and really wet i could see moisture getting into the connectors within 5 years. The fix/solution would be cheap and adding some sealer or light grease to the connector's threads.

Not really damage the pump, but the motor would be running continually until pressure shut it off. So like if it ran for 2 or 3 days it would probably burn the motor up, its not made for continuous running.

try it in a car and boat, run engine so oil was warm, it got primed and pump about a qt. or more very slow and stop pumping, maybe alright for a lawnmower. I think it is junk for a little more money you can get one that works good, If you still need this one I will sell my for 1/2 price only used three time.

Listen to the motor on any vacuum when you block 70% of the inlet. That sound you hear is the motor struggling to maintain it's intended speed against the resistance of the constricted airflow. The motor will draw more amperage and run hotter, but it will continue to run. For a short burst now and then I wouldn't expect any damage, but the longer you run a motor "hot" the shorter the lifespan becomes. A used $50 shop vac from Ebay or Craigs List would be a better tool for your 1.5" outlet.

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
