Turn your single or dual speed pool pump into a variable speed wonder with the Century A.O. Smith V-Green Square Flange 2.7HP Variable Speed 48Y Pool and Spa Pump Motor 10.5/0.5A 230V and increase efficiency while conserving energy. The V-Green variable speed motor can be installed on any pump that has total horsepower requirements from 3/4 to 2.75. It uses your pump's existing hydraulics to automatically determine the capabilities of your pump and put out only the power your impeller is capable of handling. The V-Green Motor's Square Flange mount allows for quick installation, and its noise reduction design promotes quieter operation. This motor is packed with features for reliable, durable performance, such as freeze protection, ball bearings, TEFC, 303 Stainless Steel shaft and Class F.
The cheapest price I could find for a new Vgreen 2.7 online. Installed on a tristar pump. Very quiet and seems to run efficiently. Display setting is nice in that is shows the power consumption (watts). Came with a quick start guide and manual. Easy to program with intuitive controls. I would verify the date of manufacture and warranty info with the manufacturer (Regal/Century).
Overall, pleased with this motor. Seems well built. It is heavy so may need a helping hand when installing. Read complaints online of the display panel failing when exposed to rain so buying a motor cover/housing may be advisable (or a DIY plastic bin would work).
Easy installation. Replaced a Hayward EcoStar SP3400VSP without trouble except the power wire locations were different enough that the wiring needed to be lengthened a couple of inches. Had to install a junction box and a longer Liquidtight whip.Quiet. Wish it had digital inputs like the smaller Vgreen 165 has. Not too bad to program but a more modern UI would be better.
