It shiukd be. I purchased a new takeoff motor from a Hayward SuperPump 2 speed pump from my local pool store. He included the whole assembly minus the diffuser, which I pulled off the old one. I tested the voltage and it's exactly as you said it should be. Looks like I'm good to go on this...

The pump is a Hayward Superpump that had a 1 hp motor and a SF of 1.0. I quickly replaced that one to put in a 2 speed pump that was also a 1 hp but had a 1.5 SF. The new 2 speed replacement pump is a 1 hp and a SF f 1.0 so back to where I originally started. I'll grab my DVM and do some voltage...

JamesW, Thanks. That did it. I took the white wire that was connected to the switch and connected it to the 3/4 terminal with the purple low speed wire. Thank you all for your help. JP Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Just read it now. I will try that when I get home. I just left that white disconnected for testing. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Here's a pic that'll help explain what I'm talking about. I marked the lines in red and circled the canopy switch. These are the things I removed. - - - Updated - - - Thanks. I really appreciate your help on this.

By jumpers, I mean short wire leads. The short black and yellow wires running from the switch to the terminal block were removed after unplugging from the switch.

OK, I wired it as in your pic, unplugged the Carling canopy switch and removed the red and yellow jumper wires. I did not remove the white one as it runs underneath and can't get to it. When I tested it the high circuit runs, but the low circuit does not. Any suggestions?

I actually haven't removed it electrically yet. It's the Carling switch in the bottom left of the last picture in the first post. I'm assuming I can just simply pull off the wires and don't need to do anything else at the motor except connect the leads from my timer?

Thanks Richard320. Do I need to remove the switch and rewire anything or should I just connect the leads as shown and move on?

Yesterday was pool opening day only to find out that the motor was seized up good and tight. The motor I had is an AO Smith 2 speed that is controlled by a 2 speed timer and is wired with 4 wires coming from my timer panel. The only motor I could find locally has a canopy switch on the back but...

I just went through the same upgrade of a Hayward Superpump 1.5 HP single speed motor (SPX2610X15) to a 2 speed motor. I sent you a PM on this as well. I went with an AO Smith 2 speed motor and a new seal kit. I only had a standard time clock control so I also upgraded my controls to an...
