Looking for a replacement motor and tune up kit for a Hayward 2 speed 2 HP superpump. The number on the motor is sp1615z2msc Can anyone help?
Hello Kevin - You have an uprated 2hp 2-speed motor. We carry the full rated 1.5HP 2-speed. Both motors have the same total HP. The part number for the replacement motor is STS1152R.
The tune-up kit is part number GOKIT3. We also have the GOKIT3SALT for salt pools.
Hmmm. Motor are almost as much as a whole new pump Since I only use my pump on low speed, would it be better to buy a smaller HP pump - maybe single speed? I would still like to run 220v for efficiency and 2" pipe is what I have so it would be convienient to stay with that pipe dia. Would you recommend a different pump based upon these specs?
We would recommend the Pureline Prime model PL2605. This is a 1.65 variable speed pump. You would get the energy savings from running the pump on a low speed but you would still have the high-speed options available. The high speeds would allow you to backwash the filter (sand & DE) and vacuum the pool.
