tysm it took me some time to discern which replacement motor to purchase. installed century B2842 today. the process of discerning which model to purchase was beyond hollywood's wildest deranged fantasies. being 1.5HP and slightly larger in diameter than the IHP, i had to remove the rubber motor mount on the stand to get it flush. knowing which model to purchase saved me about $100. enjoy.

Thank you so much!! I’ve done these a few times and needed a review. Outstanding job with the editing too.

Well done! Great job with the pacing and details.

Perfect timing on this video. I was opening my pool this weekend and the pump seems to have seized up. - it's a 6yr old Max-E-Pro. I may have to give the rebuild a try after watching this video. Thanks!

Thanks, very helpful video.

Thanks, really needed this (I got the replacement pump without any instructions on how to replace. This is perfect and I've ordered the seal kit you linked to above to finish).

Two questions: 1) My current p6e6g-208L motor model k48n2pa105 is acting up. It's only for water features - I run it every day about ~30 minutes to keep black widows and frogs from making a home in the pipes. When it turns on, sometimes it makes an electric buzzing noise and takes 2~5 seconds to actually start spinning. It seems to do this more often / longer in the winter. Rarely it makes a loud squealing sound for a few seconds after spinning up. It's 15+ years old. So, do I just need to do maintenance or replace the pump? I tried doing the maintenance (replacing the ceramic, etc.) on an exact same pump a couple years ago having the same issues and it seized up and eventually died. Thankfully this one was available (having been replaced by an intelliflow for all the filters). 2) If I replace the pump, what do I replace it with? I see pumps that look similar ranging from anywhere around $200-250 to as high as $700. This pump is 2 HP, 1.5 KW, 230 V, 3450 RPM, Phase 1, 60 Hz, Max Load Amps 11.2, Code H, SF 1.3.

What's that little conduit part called that screws onto the back of the motor where the electrical wires run through?

Newer versions of this pump have a reverse threaded plastic and metal screw that needs to be removed before you can remove the impeller. The $20 screw can break if you don’t remove it first. Don’t ask me how I know.

What salt rated pump seal from US Seal Manufacturer is compatible with the Max E Pro?

Can I use a USQ square flange motor as a replacement? I noticed the HP was different 1.25 vs 1.65

Which motor is that and where did you get it?
