Up-rated vs full-rated: match total HP (THP = label HP × service factor), not label HP. Never replace a full-rated motor with an up-rated motor of the same label HP.
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. In other states, single-speed replacements remain standard.
Shaft seal: replace the pump shaft seal whenever the motor is changed — a leaking seal is the #1 killer of new pool pump motors.
Replacement motor for the Polaris PB4-60 pool booster pump — the high-pressure pump that drives pressure-side pool cleaners.
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
