Motor Replacement

Verify that existing plumbing and electrical systems can support the new installation

Select a motor that:

is compatible with phase and voltage of existing wiring

is physically compatible with frame size

is at least 2-speed

is UL listed for pool, spa, or hot tub use

meets or exceeds efficiency standards of APSP-15

Select controls that are UL listed for the installation location (e.g., wet location)

Install motor in accordance with NFPA 70 (Article 680) and manufacturer specifications

If conflict exists between code and manufacturer specifications, apply the more restrictive requirement

If operational, store replaced motor for temporary backup use and label as such

If nonoperational, recycle or dispose of removed equipment according to local and federal law (e.g., EPA) (i.e., do not leave replaced equipment at the client home)

Provide occupants/owners with user's manual, warranty information, installation instructions, and installer contact information
