The A.O. Smith B2848 is a 1 HP full-rated pool pump motor (56Y square flange, 3450 RPM, 115/230V) — 1.65 THP. Below: the specs we verify before quoting, and what to check on your nameplate.

Full-rated: match total HP (THP = label HP × service factor) to the pump's requirements, and confirm full-rated vs up-rated before swapping.

56Y fitment: square-flange mount — the Pentair WhisperFlo / Challenger / Pinnacle and Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro / Max-E-Glas / Dura-Glas class.

Single-speed and CA/NY: California and New York require variable-speed replacement motors (Title 20) for most pool pump replacements; see the VGreen Evo line.

Shaft seal: replace the pump shaft seal whenever the motor is changed — a leaking seal is the #1 killer of new pool pump motors.

The V1 suffix is the current Centurion 1081 generation — same motor, same performance class.
