Hayward SPX3215Z2BER Pump Motor - 1-1/2 HP Square Flange 2-Speed

What This Part Is Used For
The Hayward SPX3215Z2BER is a pump motor listed as 1-1/2 HP, square flange, 2-speed. It replaces the motor on a compatible Hayward pump so the system can run high speed for vacuuming and backwashing and low speed for daily filtration. This motor mounts to the pump wet end at the equipment pad.

Why This Part Matters
When a motor starts failing, you can see hard starting, overheating, breaker trips, or a pump that won’t stay running. Loss of circulation quickly affects filtration and can create heater and chlorination flow problems. Replacing the correct two-speed motor restores dependable operation and proper speed switching. This is a common fix when the wet end is still good but the motor bearings or windings are failing.
