Installation Notes
Disconnect power and lock out the circuit. Remove the pump-motor assembly and inspect existing mounting, alignment and wiring. Ensure the replacement motor B2843 matches the original motor’s frame, mounting configuration, shaft size and rotation. Install the motor using the square flange mount, ensure shaft alignment to impeller and key, reconnect wiring according to the original schematic, restore power and monitor current draw and vibration for proper operation.
Maintenance Tip
During routine pool maintenance, visually inspect motor bearings for noise or drag, check shaft for smooth rotation and verify that the motor remains clean of debris and corrosion. Replace motor if service life is exceeded or if system efficiency drops—this helps maintain proper filtration flow and extend equipment life.
