Full-rated vs up-rated: pool pros match total HP (THP = label HP × service factor), not label HP. Full-rated motors carry a higher service factor than up-rated motors of the same label HP — never swap one for the other without matching THP.

56J fitment: threaded C-face mount — the Hayward Super Pump / Super II / Max-Flo and Jacuzzi Magnum 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.

Dual branding: this stock number is sold interchangeably as A.O. Smith and Century — Regal Rexnord's aftermarket motor brand. Same motor, same specs; see the Century ST1102 page.
