The Neptune variable speed motor and control provides flexibility and ease
The Neptune™ variable speed pool pump motor is a premium efficient product that includes a fully integrated motor, control and user interface (UI).

This U.S. MOTORS® product gives you programming flexibility and speed range capability.

It is also designed to communicate and operate with a variety of external system controllers in addition to the onboard UI.

The Neptune variable speed motor is easy to install.

By replacing an old single speed pump motor with a Neptune, your customers can keep their properly functioning pump and quickly upgrade it into a much more energy-efficient product.

The Neptune is also easy to program.

Underneath the lid is a Quick Start guide that provides step-by-step instructions to ensure your customers save energy and properly filter the pool.

The Neptune comes with a factory installed run schedule which allows the unit to function after simply setting the time of day.

The Neptune provides rugged construction for longer life.

The enclosure is finned aluminum that provides a water ingress protection level of IPX5, which helps achieve a long field life in outdoor environmental conditions.

To pass the IPX5 test, a water hose must be sprayed onto the motor from all directions with no water getting inside the motor.

One of the best features of the Neptune variable speed pool pump motor is the quietness with which it runs.

The motor control has no switching mechanisms.

When the motor is programmed for slower speeds, the sound levels are typically much reduced compared to the homeowner’s old single speed motor-powered pump.

The Neptune offers a long list of other features:

Total horsepower (THP) rated, from 1.25THP to 2.70THP

Single phase input, 50 or 60 Hz

1.25THP and 1.65THP models offer dual voltage capability (115/230V)

Speed range = 600 to 3450 RPM

Efficiency is 80%+

Mounting options: Square flange of C-flange 56J mount

Rotation = counterclockwise viewing the motor shaft

Low temperature monitor.

The motor, if set to do so, will automatically turn on during cold temperatures to keep the water moving which helps prevent pipe damage.

Capability to set up to seven daily schedules

Adjustable priming time and speed

Menu keypad lockout feature

Fully integrated product for simple drop-in installation with no complex motor and control wiring. Simply connect your power supply!

Pump or motor covers are a great idea, especially for variable-speed pumps. Mine gets all the rain runoff from the roof dropped squarely on top of it, so I bought a cheapo plastic tub from my local home center and strategically cut it to fit on the motor. Be sure to leave space for ventilation to help keep the motor cool.

You may want to purchase a cover specifically made or a pool/spa motor if you are using an older-style single- or dual speed motor since they get pretty hot and a plastic tub might not be able to handle the heat.

I personally do not cover my motor, (pump is cooled by water), as it is designed to be outside in the weather. If you feel you need to rig up a cheap sunshade do it. If it has not failed due to elements all these years why would it now?

There is research. why don't they with covers, because they are not needed. Covering could reduce the air flow which would be a detriment.
Take a tour of your local waste water treatment plant and count how may motors are covered. None.
