grazie di cuore AMICO MIO CARISSIMO MOLTO CARO DALLA ICILIA UN SALUTO CARO GIUSEPPE
I just wish the rest of CZcams could make tutorials this easy to follow! Many thanks for this video!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad it was helpful!
Best video ever! Thanks. Used it yesterday and saved myself 1300! The local pool store wanted 1600 to replace it. I asked if they were intentionally trying to go out of business? Will get the old motor fixed and have my spare. Thanks again for the great vid.
Very smart to have the old one rebuilt. Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback.
You need to make a whole series of how to videos. You would be #1 on CZcams. Thank you so so so much!
Wow, thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated.
I received my Century pump 2 days ago and installed it yesterday after watching your video. Thanks so much for this excellent video that explained everything in detail, it really helped me out.
Great to hear! Glad it helped. I appreciate and thank you for the feedback.
I really appreciate you taking the time and effort to make this extremely detailed and easy-to-follow video.
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Dude- you are amazing! Simple for you, would've been impossible for me to figure out without this video. I sincerely appreciate how methodical, precise, and helpful your explanations are. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Forgetabout-It! This was the best vid I've seen thus far on installation on a replacement pump! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the nice comment, I appreciate the feedback.👌
I am so glad I found this video. I have a new motor coming in two days and would have totally screwed up the installation without it.
Glad it helped... Thank you for the feedback.
Man after watching and listening to your video makes me think this will be really simple. Thank you for your excellent commentary.
Glad it was helpful!
Getting ready to change our Century Centurion B2855 motor in the next few days. Using this video!!!!!! Thank you, John....one of the best instructional videos I've ever seen on CZcams.
Glad it helped! Thank you very much for your positive feedback, I appreciate it.
@@JohnCRV Is there a way to determine which of the two non-ground wires go where? In my efforts to troubleshoot existing motor (which included disconnecting ground and 2 other wires and attaching new circular spade connectors) I forgot to take a beforehand pic. The real problem is I have 1 green (obviously wire)...but 2 same colored wires as well. Is there a way to use my multimeter to test which one goes were? Thank you!
@@Son_of_Aragorn Sorry to hear. Since we are not certified electricians we hesitate giving such advice. That been said; There's a phone number that comes with the motor, they can probably answer your question.
Great step by step tutorial on the procedure to replace the pool pump motor John & son! Have a super week ahead! 👍
Thanks 👍
Best Video - Great video quality and expert step by step explanations. Thank You
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, I now know I can use this same method on my $800 jet pump to just replace the motor and save hundreds. I especially like the dog doing his business in the background at 4:34. 😁
Glad it helped! I never noticed what the dog was doing until you pointed it out 😂
You are a life saver.
Glad it helped!
This is the best video ever made on CZcams. You guys saved me so much money.. thank you!!
Glad it helped! Thank you very much for the feedback.
Great video on how to replace motor. I think the only thing I would do different is not re-use the pump seal. The OEM says to change it with the motor and they usually wear out. The outer (larger) o-ring is also something to be looked at and replaced if needed. Electrical wires needed to be in conduit or not exposed if code inspection occurs. Perfect video on the how to portion!
Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I haven’t done it yet but know I can with ur video as I know the pump is on its last leg! Perfectly clear enough for a 68 widow granny!
Glad it helped. Good luck and thank you for the feedback.
Thanks for posting these instructions. This is going to be my project tomorrow, replacing my Pentair 1 HP motor.
I hope it helps. Good luck!
Thank you so much! Replaced our motor today with your video. You do a great job.
Glad it helped! Appreciate the feedback.
Perfect step by step how to John, extremely well explained.
Glad you enjoyed it Dennis. Thank you
OUTSTANDING PRESENTATION ! Many thanks. You have helped many people.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful.
Thank you! Awesome video I just installed mine this afternoon! You definitely saved me a fortune! 😂
Glad it helped and thanks for the nice comment.
Not that I will likely ever need to replace a pool pump motor but it was interesting to see how its done. Thank you my friend.
Thanks Dave
This video was a lifesaver! Thank you so much
Glad it helped!
I might have done this a time or two . LOL , But in the last few years the cost to only replace motors , and the labor involved , made replacing the whole pump the preferred option for many
Great job and instructional tutorial John and friend .
I forgot, you are a poolman. Thanks for the nice comment Phil. Hope all is well. 👌
Just want to tell you thank you for the instructional video that you put this help me to entirely take my motor down and replace it with a new one. Thank you so much. Blessings to you and your family.
Glad it helped! Thank you very much for the feedback.

What a great tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for including the wiring. Most guides don't.
Glad it helped👍
@@JohnCRV Unfortunately it’s running but no suction :(
@@ameremortal If the wires are reversed the motor will turn the opposite way. If you're not familiar with electricity be safe and get an technician.
@@JohnCRV thanks. That wasn’t it. I triple checked and even flipped them before buying a new pump.

Grazie per la visione ed il tuo gentile commento. Buona settimana.
Wow John that was interesting and lots of work too 👍63 Gary
Many thanks
One Question... Great video, but when I went to change out my pump, the spring loaded black seal that you mention which has to be dislodged by using the pump cover has two ends that are different. I could not tell which end went on the shaft closer to the pump versus which went further out toward the pump fan. The spring has a flat round end with metal and an inner flat rubber seal. The other end has a round rubber piece that has raised inner edges on both sides and fits into a round groove on the other end of the spring. Which end goes where? (It popped out before I could see which end was which...) Much appreciated.
We put it back the same way we took it off and hard to remember the difference but we do remember the green dot on the rubber seal facing out. We should have paid more attention to that. Sorry.
Thanks, John, for this easy-to-understand video.
My pump just died last week and I need help identifying and ordering the correct replacement pump. The motor is connected to a Jandy Stealth pump. I took photos of the pump motor with serial #s, etc but I am having difficulty matching up the correct replacement motor.
My old pump was a1.25hp century centurion, A.O. Smith.
CAT # 189083M,
PART: 7-193992-06,
TYPE: CX
FR: R56Y
HZ: 60
RPM: 3450
VOLTS: 208-230/115
AMPS: SF 6.0-5.6/11.2
TIME: CONT
ENCI: DP
FORM: KJM
CODE: L
ISUL CLASS: B
AMB: 50* C
If you could help me, identify and find the proper replacement to order that would be very helpful!
Your best bet is to call them. Here's their website for contact information www.jandy.com/en/products/pool-pumps/stealth
Good lucl.
Gracias!!!
You're Welcome!
Great job with the video, the audio and the expert instruction. Thank you so much.
Thank you. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, John. I installed this a few years ago, but needed a refresher course. Yours is the best! Also, do you know if this Century brand should have the bearings oiled every so often? If so, where is the oil hole?
Not that I know of sorry. My Son was looking at the paperwork it came with and there was no mention of any type of lubing. You may want to call them to make sure. Most motors are sealed these days.
Thank you for making a great video. Question: What did you use to lubricate the gaskets? Vaseline?
Yes I did.
Good video.
Mine has the large clamp holding the motor and impeller housing on.
What’s the best way to keep the large O ring in place? It falls off when trying to slide it into its place.
Try some synthetic grease to hold it. Its also good for it.. Good luck..
Great vid!! Gonna replace a century 2.5 motor and wanted to know how much water you added to prime the system??
Fill up the strain compartment should be enough...
Thanks to Tony The Buffet Bimbatso, I’ll be doing this do it yourselfer
I’ll also have someone else start my car in the morning
Too funny LOL. Good luck
@@JohnCRV
😀
Awesome! Like 739.
Many thanks!!
A question about the 230 wiring? You removed the two slip-on pig tails from what I see. Always better to direct connect your wire to terminal screws. From your picture, what colors went where? I am swapping out this exact motor for a bad Pentair. Thanks!
Pause the video between 6:05 and 6:06 you can clearly see them screwed back in. Make sure your Quality setting is set at 1080p60 and enlarge if necessary hopefully you have the same color wires, so be careful. If not sure call an electrician.
I followed your instructions on replacing my pool pump motor and it was very helpful by the way. Thanks for that. I now have a leak in the bottom of the new pump when I am trying to prime it. Can you help? Thanks
Glad it helped!
Did you carefully inspect the seals when you took it apart? they could have been old and just came apart....
If you have a leak between the pump and the motor, the seals are probably damaged. They do sell a seal kit you can get so you wont have to guess which seal is leaking... Be very careful when replacing them and when re-attaching the pump together... Hope that helps.
The new pump came with new seals. I will take it back out and re inspect. Thanks
Looks easy enough. My problem is the three wires going into my existing motor (that I need to replace) are confusing to me. There is a green wire (obvious ground)...but two purple wires. How can I tell which one to properly connect to new motor? Or does it not matter (if they are both "load wires" and can interchangeably be connected to L1 and L2 connectors on motor)??? Thank you!
Noticed you had 2 comments, this reply is the same. in case you miss the first one...
Sorry to hear. Since we are not certified electricians we hesitate giving such advice. That been said; There's a phone number that comes with the motor, they can probably answer your question.
My Century 1HP motor died and I want to replace it with a Century 1.5 HP motor. Do I need additional part or is it a clean swap?
Not sure. You'll need to contact Century to make sure.
Installed the new pump but it’s spinning in the opposite direction. Any thoughts?
first thing to check if you reversed the wires....
Mine does want to separate. Got all the bolts and screws removed and it separates about an inch, but won't completely come off. Any suggestions?
Did you get it figured out?
Is this motor comparable to the Century Centurion B129?
You need to call them to make sure.
What is the little box on top of the motor for
I think you mean the capacitor?
Would a bad capacitor cause the motor to hum? I thought it was the breaker since it was intermittent tripping. Swapped it out and it worked great till this morning. No tripped breaker but when I try to start pump it hums 10 seconds then laughs at me. I ordered a capacitor but my luck it’s the motor. Any thoughts.
It's worth a try but It all depends on how old the motor is.
@@JohnCRV installed in November 2019
@@1927Scavengers Less than 4 years old, it's worth a shot. Let us know how works out. Good luck.
@@JohnCRV it does spin freely. I cut power, removed the filter cover and basket and I’m able to spin the impeller with no issue.
@@1927Scavengers as long as the bearing is not worn out and not making noise your good.
I forgot to ask you what brand is your motor.
Great pace of talking
Thanks! Glad it helped.
What size screw is on the shaft? I broke mine and need to replace :(
Sorry I don't remember
I could not get 3 of the 4 bolts from the motor to the housing off. I used bolt blaster spray, tapped lightly with a hammer, and no luck. Used a socket and then a battery impact driver and still couldn’t get them off. Any suggestions?
spray come penetrating oil and let it sit overnight. Are the bolts stainless or steel?
They should be stainless hopefully.
They are stainless bolts. I ended up buying a bolt extractor socket set at Harbor Freight for $35. Best money I ever spent. I was able to get the other bolts out but still needed a lever bar on the ratchet. Thanks for this great video. Wouldn’t have been able to do the job without it.
Glad it helped
My Pentair pump high speed went out and only the low side works is that a sign the motor is bad before I change it
Sorry, I'm not familiar with High Low speed.
I see that in the video you didn’t change the gaskets, if we don’t damage them during the process does that mean that changing them is not necessary?
I leave that up to you my friend....
This motor and pump sits in the shade 75% of the day and we were real careful taking it apart..... So, you get the idea. I mean, they don't cost much so if you want to its no big job... Good luck
@@JohnCRV Thank you, yes i went ahead and ordered the O-ring kit. They didn't cost much and for the peace of mind, I might as well. I also went ahead and ordered the impeller and diffuser. The Amazon price was a fraction of what pool equipment suppliers wanted, not to mention the labor costs i'm saving. Again, thank you for your video and clear instructions which gave me the courage to tackle this myself.
@@marvinaviles2593 Glad it all worked out and thanks for the feedback.
My motor housing bolts seemed to have some lock tite on them. Maybe that’s why they wouldn’t come out. You never mention using that when reinserting g the bolts.
we did not have any Lock-tite in ours, so we did not use any. Frankly, I would not use lock-tight on a pump motor because there no vibration to worry about.
Did you replace the shaft seal? If not, why not?
Old one was fine.
Subbed so hard, this video is incredible. If you ever open up a Donate button I'm sending you some cash, this video seriously just saved half my Sunday!
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback...
I put the pool pump together, when I turned the system on, the pool pump connected with the sight class is leaking
Sounds like the O-rings may have gotten damaged. Just need to be replaced...
