Your existing pump may have a yellow body as in picture 1 or even, if it really old a smooth body as apposed to the black bodied pump supplied in picture 2, this european spec. motor is recommended by Waterway for the European market, it has a fan and a finned body design to dissipate heat. . This is exactly the same as the yellow bodied pump, just a different colour to identify it, it is its direct replacement.
• High performance, specifically designed for 56-frame motors.
• Large intakes for improved low performance and noise reduction.
• Large 6" diameter wet end for higher head pressure, highly versatile that can be rotated every 90°
• Water repellent Italian made EMG motor - you may find that your pump has a smooth body, as apposed to the style illustrated above.This motor may be made by a different company, our motors are specific for the UK market.
• 56-frame motor for added strength, cooler operating temperature and longer motor life - we can still supply the original 48 frame but we recommend the 56 Frame for extended life.
• Two double shielded ball bearings with moisture resistant grease for quieter operation.
• Two-speed motors have four sets of insulated windings for increased efficiency.
• Split capacitor, (start and run) for less energy consumption
• Thermally protected to extend life expectancy of motor
• IPX5 construction
This 2hp pump is the most common pump in europe, the single speed variant operates at 9.5 amps, whilst the twin speed version runs at 9.0 (high speed) and 1.8amps (low speed), they have a 1.5KW motor and come complete with a 4.0HP impellored wet end.
To ensure correct specification of the suction and discharge
outlets, measure over the threads. |
To ensure correct frame size,
measure the following for a 56 frame wet end |

Obviously with the amount of pumps in the market place, there are varying wiring configurations and different colour wires, making it quite confusing, our guide below clarifies the differences:

Typically an old twin speed pump when exchanged for a new pump will have a difference in wiring configuration as the example below demonstrates (please always consult a professional).
The connections typically on old pumps are:
Black connected to V2 - Marked in diagram as Low Speed (Neutral)
Red connected to W1 – Marked on diagram as High Speed (Neutral)
White connected to V1 – Marked on diagram as High Speed (Phase)
Green connected to case – not on diagram.
The new pump connections would be for example:
Black connected to W1 – Marked on diagram as Low Speed (Phase)
Red connected to U1 – Marked on diagram as High Speed (Phase)
White connected to V1 – Marked on diagram as Neutral
**Please note do not run the pump with the low and high speed the wrong way round for more than 20-30 seconds as this will damage the pump and invalidate your warranty.
