Important Compatibility Notes
- Verify the complete pump model number before ordering.
- Verify the pump manufacture date before ordering, as Pentair lists different replacement drive requirements for certain newer pump production dates.
- This is the RS-485 almond drive kit. It may not replace non-RS-485, black, or older drive versions.
- This item is for compatible pump models only and is not a universal replacement drive.
- If the pump motor itself has failed, a complete motor/drive assembly may be required instead of the drive kit only.
Installation Notes
- Turn off all power to the pump at the breaker before servicing.
- Confirm proper incoming voltage and wiring before installing the replacement drive.
- Inspect the motor, wiring, cooling fan area, and pump impeller for issues that may have caused the original drive failure.
- RS-485 communication wiring must be connected correctly for automation control.
- The pump may need to be reprogrammed after installation.
- Installation should be completed by a qualified pool professional or electrician.
Troubleshooting Tips
- Before replacing the drive, confirm that the breaker, supply voltage, and wiring connections are correct.
- Check for water intrusion, corrosion, insect damage, or overheating inside the drive area.
- Make sure the pump shaft and impeller turn freely before installing a new drive.
- If the pump is connected to automation, verify RS-485 wiring polarity and automation programming after installation.
- Keep the drive cover secured to help protect the electronics from moisture and debris.
