IF THESE MOTORS LIKE ANY MOTOR IS NOT INSTALLED RIGHT OR RAN WITHOUT PROPER WATER SUPPLY THEY WILL FAIL ! THE TRICK IS THE SHAFT SEAL. HAVE YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY WITH FREE MOTOR TESTING, DO THIS AND YOU MIGHT FIND THAT A MOTOR CAN LAST YOU A LIFETIME, A SHAFT SEAL SHOULD LAST 3-6 YEARS AND BEARINGS ABOUT THE SAME. I FIND ITS THE OWNERS FAULT OF EARLY MOTOR FAILURE..9 OUT OF 10 TIMES.. WOW HUH ?
I HAVE REPAIRED MOTOR OVER 40 YEARS OLD AND FIND THAT FOR NEW POOL OWNERS TAKES 3-5 MOTORS BEFORE THEY LEARN HOW TO WATCH AND TAKE PROPER CARE OF THERE PUMP. HERE IN FLORIDA I HAVE REPAIRED THOUSANDS OF PUMPS AND IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO REPLACE A MOTOR ,A YEAR OR LESS IS ALL IT GOING TO LAST. I FIND THE STA-RITE DURA-GLAS WITH THE AO-SMITH 1 OR 1.5 HP TO BE THE BEST PUMP. ,I HAD ONE IN THE OTHER DAY THAT WAS MADE IN 1972 " IT WAS HIS DADS HOUSE " HIS DAD HAD PASSED AND HE TOOK OVER THE HOUSE HE HAD THE INSIGHT TO GET THE MOTOR REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOISY. I SEEN THAT THE MOTOR HAD BEEN REBUILT A FEW TIMES BEFORE AND I FIXED IT AGAIN. I LIKE THE OLD UNION MADE MOTORS THEY ARE TUFF BUT THIS KID WAS ABLE TO KILL IT IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS.... HOW YOU ASK ?? HE RAN IT WITHOUT PROPER WATER SUPPLY (DRY) LIVE AND LEARN .
. BETTER LUCK WITH YOUR NEW MOTOR. WANA KNOW A TRICK? IF YOU RAN YOUR PUMP DRY OR IF YOU SEE A WET SPOT UNDER YOUR MOTOR GET THE SHAFT SEAL REPLACED ASAP... COST ? I CHARGE 20.00..FALURE TO DO SO WILL LEAK WATER INTO THE MOTOR AND MAKE THE BEARINGS GO BAD AND RUST OUT THE MOTOR OVER TIME.. AND FOR A ADDED FEATURE IT WILL SUCK ELECTRICTY LIKE ITS GOING OUT OF STYLE SO IF A MOTOR IS NOISY, BUZZES OR MAKES ANY NOISE IT MAY BE FIXED OR REPAIRED..NOW YOU KNOW..
LET MY DAD FIX YOUR PUMP SAVE HUNDREDS.. JAY
