Capcom Genteq C325R 25 UF MFD X 370 Vac GE Industrial Replacement Capacitor Round, 97F9606

Bought for my hot tub jet pump and fixed the issue! Saved me a ton of cash buying this one part instead of having to hire someone

Works perfectly for a Hayward Super II, 1.5hp dual speed pool pump. I had an issue where the pump would only turn on when in low speed mode. On high speed, it would hum but not turn on, then trip the breaker. I read replacing the capacitor could resolve the issue and the replacement part at most “discount” online pool stores was $33. Found this model on Amazon when searching the same specs (25 MFD, 370 Vac) for less than $12. When I opened the pump, lo and behold, the exact same Genteq capactor came with the unit. It took 5 minutes to replace it and it fixed the issue. Pool pump is working perfectly now. A pool repair service charges between $89 and $129 just to come out and investigate the problem and many will just replace the entire motor for $350. With little electrical knowledge, I was able to resolve the issue for <$12!!!!

item worked as described. So far, starts pool pump without hesitation. Easy to replace.

The only reference I could find online for my pool's booster pump, a Pentair LA01N, referred to the motor using a 50mF capacitor, but, after opening the cover on the top of the motor, I found it takes a 25mF capacitor. Once this new one arrived, I had it swapped in & the pump was able to start & run just fine after turning the breaker back on. As far as lifespan for the original capacitor, I installed the pump shortly after ordering it in March, 2013, so the capacitor lasted about 5 years. I anticipate the new one lasting about as long, but it's good to know they're readily available & inexpensive compared to the $250 cost of the pump. I've included a couple pics of the original capacitor, which expanded and burst at the top, compared to the new unit.

Tres utile pour une pompe à spa
