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.
Confirming the right replacement
Before we quote, compare these fields on your failed motor's nameplate. If any of them differ, send us a photo of the nameplate and we'll match it exactly rather than guessing:
- Full model number — including any suffix letters
- HP, RPM, and voltage
- Frame size (e.g. 284T) and enclosure (TEFC, ODP, etc.)
- Full-load amps
