I had the motor replaced about a year or so ago but a reputable pool company. Would it be worthwhile reaching out to them regarding the underpowered motor? At the time they were really pushing me towards a variable speed pump, and looking back at the paperwork they provided - based on their estimated cost savings - I would be right at the breakeven point based on electricity saved.. live and learn..Your original motor was a total of 2.6 HP and your new motor is only 2.2 HP, which means that it is too small.
Your original impeller was a 073130.
To use a 2.2 HP motor, you would need to change the impeller to a 073129.
Impeller......Total HP.
073126.........0.95
073127.........1.25
073128.........1.65
073129.........2.20
073130.........2.60
073131.........3.45
I would since it is a mistake if they did not replace the impeller.Would it be worthwhile reaching out to them regarding the underpowered motor?
