Specifications

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: What does 56J mean, and why is it important?
A: 56J refers to the motor’s mounting/frame style used on many pool pumps (round/C-face style). Matching the frame type helps ensure proper fit.

Q: Is this motor 115V or 230V?
A: It’s dual-voltage (115/230V) and can be wired for either, depending on your setup.

Q: Is the shaft threaded?
A: Yes—this model has a threaded shaft for direct impeller mounting.

Q: Which way does it rotate?
A: CCW rotation when viewed from the pump end (common for many pool pumps).

Q: What else should I replace during installation?
A: It’s strongly recommended to replace the shaft seal during a motor swap to help prevent leaks and protect the new motor.
