Product Overview

Restore your compatible pool pump with the Pentair WhisperFloXF 2 HP replacement motor. Designed for three-phase electrical systems, this genuine Pentair motor features single-speed operation and a totally enclosed fan-cooled enclosure. It is listed for the WhisperFloXF XFK-8 pump configuration, making it an option for replacing a failed motor when the existing pump’s hydraulic components remain serviceable. This product is a replacement motor only; it does not include a complete pump or assembled power end.

Ideal For

• Pool professionals servicing compatible WhisperFloXF XFK-8 pumps.
• Commercial pool facilities with matching three-phase electrical service.
• Motor replacement projects where the pump housing and hydraulic components are suitable for continued use.

Key Features

• Genuine Pentair replacement component for the specified pump application.
• Rated 2 HP motor for a matching pump and impeller configuration.
• Single-speed operation for existing fixed-speed circulation systems.
• Supports 208–230/460 V three-phase service when correctly configured.
• Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction uses an external fan to cool the enclosed motor.

Benefits

• Allows targeted motor replacement when a complete pump replacement is unnecessary.
• Helps preserve a serviceable existing pump housing and plumbing arrangement.
• Provides an identifiable OEM component for accurate parts matching.
• Supports restoration of normal pump operation after the cause of motor failure has been addressed.

Compatibility

Pentair identifies this motor for the WhisperFloXF XFK-8, 2 HP, three-phase configuration. Compatibility depends on the complete pump model, electrical supply, motor mounting, and hydraulic components—not horsepower alone.

Do not assume it fits every WhisperFloXF pump. Single-phase, variable-speed, and other horsepower configurations require their own approved replacement components. This motor also should not be selected for a Max-E-ProXF simply because the pumps share similar specifications.

Installation Context

Have a qualified pool equipment professional or electrician verify the replacement and perform installation. The installer should confirm supply voltage, wiring configuration, motor rotation, grounding, bonding, and appropriate electrical protection.

During service, inspect the shaft seal, impeller, diffuser, and associated seals for wear or damage. Address leaks or electrical problems that may have contributed to the original motor failure. Maintain the ventilation clearance specified in the pump installation manual.

What’s Included

• One Pentair 2 HP, three-phase replacement motor.

Pump housing, impeller, diffuser, and a complete power-end assembly are not included.

Confirm Before Ordering

Match the pump model and existing motor nameplate to the replacement specifications. Confirm that the site has three-phase power and identify any additional seals or service parts needed before scheduling the repair.

Specifications

Customer Q&A

Is this a complete pool pump?

No. It is the replacement motor only. The existing pump’s hydraulic components must be inspected and reused or replaced separately.

Will it run on single-phase 230 V power?

It requires a suitable three-phase electrical supply. Matching voltage alone does not establish electrical compatibility.

Does this upgrade my pump to variable speed?

No. This is a single-speed replacement motor and does not provide variable-speed programming.

Can I choose this motor based only on horsepower?

No. Confirm the pump model, electrical phase, voltage, mounting, and approved motor application before ordering.
