had motor replaced. is it good enough?

[zwats]

my old motor died and had to have it replaced. the old motor was a hayward super pump 1 hp, sf 1.1, 3450 rpm (model number c48k2n143b1). they replaced it with a century 1 hp, 1 sf, 3450 rpm. we havea sand filter and a 35,000 pool(from what ive been told) seems like ever seince the motor was replaced ive been having more trouble keeping it in shape. is 1 enough true power for a pool this big or should i upgrade to 1.5?

also if it matters we have a hayward pump (model SP2607X10)

1 hp is correct for the pump. What problems are you having?

You can check the voltage and current to see if they are correct.

its all hooked up and working but the water is looking bad (kinda light murky green/ cloudy). chlorine is pretty high. cya is prolly 50. but im going to shock it tomorrow night and well see if that helps. was just curious if the trouble was from the new motor

Funny, I just replaced that same motor on my pump. Although I went with a 2 speed Century. Wished I had seen the price on the VS motors, but it’s too late now.

yea i dont know how to replace it myself...yet. But i told the local pool store all the info and thats the pump they brought.

The pump should be fine. Do you have a good test kit? What are the readings for everything? You should do a SLAM.

Supposedly A. O. Smith is now Century.

A.O Smith and Century are brands that are now owned by Regal Beloit.
