I currently have a Hayward super pump, C48K2N143B1 (SP2607X10), This is a 1hp model, that seems to have fried.
I The label suddenly turned brown overnight and pump stopped working. I noticed the grommet on the outside was loose, and a wire inside seemed to come loose (and browned a bit as well) and I’m thinking it cooked the motor during heavy rain. I have a capacitor on the way (as I tested it and got nothing), but I am expecting I need to replace the whole pump as I get no humming when I turn it on, and I’ve verified it’s getting power.
So anyway, I am thinking it’s a good time to consider upgrading to a variable speed.
I see a variable speed, model W3SP2603VSP on Amazon.
I have two inch pipes now, and I see this model is 2” and comes with adapters to shrink.
This is a 1.65HP model. Is that an ok upgrade, from 1hp?
I have about a 24k gallon in ground pool. My filter is cartridge (C3025) and says I should do 122 gpm flow rate.
Is this install going to really be an easy drop in and replace?
Anything I’m missing?
