Product Overview

The Century VGreen Evo EVQ225 is a 2.25 total horsepower variable speed pool pump motor on a 48Y square-flange frame, rated for 230/115V single-phase, 60 Hz service with automatic voltage detection. It is designed to replace an existing single-speed or two-speed motor on a compatible pool pump, so the pump can run at lower speeds for everyday filtration.

The new Vgreen Evo™ motor is driven by advanced variable speed technology to power the most energy efficient and compliant pool pumps in the industry, helping our customers meet or exceed the latest department of energy (DOE) regulations. Single-speed pumps typically run at high rpm’s around the clock, over-circulating water and wasting precious energy and money. A variable speed pump motor allows users to circulate water at the minimum turnover rate for water quality at a lower RPM, thereby greatly reducing the energy needed to run the pump. The slower circulation rates of a variable speed pump equate to a noticeably quieter motor. Operating at lower speeds also lowers the temperature of the motor, extending the life of the motor. Upgrading to a variable speed motor will lower the cost of pool ownership through energy savings without replacing the pump. These motors run cooler, quieter and last longer. Owning a pool with a variable speed motor is more affordable and better for the environment.

Specifications

Warranty & Compatibility

Compatibility Notes

The EVQ225 is intended for pool pumps that use a 48Y square-flange motor and are rated up to 2.25 total horsepower. Before ordering, compare your existing motor label for frame, flange style, total horsepower, voltage and shaft type, and confirm your pump model accepts a 48Y motor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified technician following local electrical codes. Disconnect power before service. Install a new shaft seal matched to your pump model whenever the motor is replaced, and inspect gaskets and O-rings. Set up speed schedules after installation using the motor's user interface or a compatible automation system.

Customer-Facing Q&A

Q: What is the part number for this motor?
A: The Century manufacturer part number is EVQ225 (VGreen Evo series).

Q: Will the EVQ225 fit my pump?
A: It fits pumps that use a 48Y square-flange motor rated up to 2.25 total horsepower. Check your current motor's label and your pump model before ordering.

Q: Can it run on 115V and 230V?
A: Yes. The motor detects 230V or 115V input automatically. Output is 2.25 HP on 230V and 1.50 HP on 115V.

Q: Does it work with automation?
A: It includes Century Connect technology for communicating with compatible automation systems; it can also run on its own built-in schedules.

Q: Does this include the pump wet end?
A: No. This is the motor only. Your existing pump housing, seal plate, impeller and diffuser are reused; a new shaft seal is recommended.
