Benefits
The Century B2842 replacement motor helps restore pump operation without replacing the complete pump, as long as the existing pump wet end is still in good condition and compatible with this motor.
Replacing a failed motor can help reduce noise, improve reliability, and bring a pool circulation system back into service. For best results, replace the shaft seal and inspect the impeller, diffuser, seal plate, and gaskets during installation.

Confirm Before Ordering
Please confirm your existing motor label before ordering. Match the horsepower, voltage, phase, frame size, service factor, RPM, shaft style, mounting style, and pump model. Pool pump motors can look similar but may not be interchangeable.
Installation Note
Professional installation is recommended. Always shut off power at the breaker before servicing pool equipment. A new pump shaft seal should be installed whenever replacing a pool pump motor to help prevent leaks into the new motor.
Warranty & Compatibility
Compatibility depends on the pump model, impeller size, seal plate, voltage, and motor specifications. Electrical parts and installed motors may not be returnable once wired, installed, or attempted to be installed. Verify all specifications before purchase.
