Service Factor for a replacement motor for a Hayward Super Pump

12 years ago

Our pool motor is sounding very loud, and we need to replace the motor. On the pool motor now, it says a service factor of 1.1, but when I look online for a motor, they are all saying a service factor of 1.0.

Will this be an issue if all we can get is a motor with a 1.0 service factor?

Thanks in advance
