Century Energy Efficient Motor, Full Rated 1.5 HP, 208/230V, B2842

The Century B2842 is an energy efficient pool pump motor rated at a full 1.5 horsepower on 208/230 volt service. It is the genuine Century part.

Full rated, not uprated

Pool motors are sold in two ratings, and the difference matters. A full rated motor makes its stated horsepower with the service factor on top, so a full rated 1.5 HP is a physically larger motor than an uprated one carrying the same number on the label. Order the rating your pump was specified for, or the pump will move either less water or more than the plumbing was designed to carry.

Voltage

This motor is built for 208 or 230 volt service only. It has no 115 volt option, so check what is landing at the equipment pad before you order.

What you get

The motor on its own. Shaft seals, gaskets and pump hardware are separate, and most techs replace the shaft seal while the wet end is open rather than going back in later.
