Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

• This is a universal replacement for start capacitors with matching specifications. Verify that your original capacitor's capacitance range (µF/MFD) and voltage rating (VAC) fall within the values of this component.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Designed for single-phase AC electric motor starting applications.
• Commonly used in well pumps, pool pumps, HVAC units, air compressors, and refrigeration systems.
• Compatible with specific pump models, including:
  • Hayward Super Pump (110V and 220V motors)
  • Hayward Max-Flo (0.75 HP, 1.0 HP, 1.5 HP models)

When to Replace

• Motor hums but struggles or fails to start.
• Start-up is slow or requires manual assistance.
• The original capacitor shows physical signs of failure, such as bulging, cracking, or leaking fluid.
• Capacitance measures outside the specified ±20% tolerance range when tested with a multimeter.

Installation Tips

• Disconnect all electrical power to the motor before beginning installation.
• Safely discharge the existing capacitor by shorting the terminals with an insulated screwdriver.
• Confirm the µF/MFD and VAC ratings of the new capacitor match the specifications of the original part.
• Note the orientation of the wire connections before removing the old capacitor.
• Ensure all electrical connections are clean and secure.
