Product Overview
The Pentair 353132S Motor and Drive Assembly is a genuine replacement component designed to restore performance to Pentair SuperFlo VS variable speed pumps, including the Pentair 342001 pump. This assembly combines the motor and integrated drive into one complete replacement unit—ideal for addressing drive faults, motor failure, power issues, or performance drop-offs without replacing the entire pump.
If your SuperFlo VS is showing error codes, failing to start, running inconsistently, or losing programming functionality, replacing the motor/drive assembly is often the most direct path to getting the system back to reliable, energy-saving operation.

Customer-Facing Q&A
Q: What pump is this compatible with?
A: The Pentair 353132S is used as a replacement motor and drive assembly for Pentair SuperFlo VS pumps, including the Pentair 342001 model.
Q: Does this include the drive and the motor together?
A: Yes. This is a complete motor + variable-speed drive assembly.
Q: Will this fix drive error codes or startup issues?
A: In many cases, yes—especially if troubleshooting indicates the motor or drive is the issue (error codes, failure to start, speed control problems, or intermittent shutdowns).
Q: Do I need to replace the entire pump too?
A: Not usually. If your wet end and plumbing are in good condition, replacing the motor/drive assembly is often the most cost-effective repair.
Q: Is professional installation recommended?
A: Yes. Because this involves electrical connections and pump disassembly, installation should be performed by a qualified pool professional or electrician.
