TEFC Pool & Spa Motors

TEFC motors are relatively new but I think will become the norm in the Pool & Spa Industry. The TEFC motors provide superior performance and longevity over traditional open drip-proof (ODP) motors. Their Innovative hydraulic design and thick-walled body parts deliver super-quiet operation. The fact that they are completely enclosed means that they are also extremely weatherproof.



Many manufacturers make TEFC motors and the common features are:
Finned Aluminum Totally Enclosed (TEFC) frame keeps windings and bearings drier, cleaner, and cooler.

Top-mounted conduit box is easier to access in tight spaces and better protected from weather, making this one of the easiest motors to install on the market.

115/208-230 Voltage rating for poor power quality areas and the ability to change the voltage at the flip of a switch.

In this video, you will see the Jacuzzi brand and they feature both a Square and Round Flange so they are compatible with Hayward, Pentair, Jandy, and other manufacturers.

Here is more about the Jacuzzi models:
Jacuzzi TEFC 1-HP- 2HP Squared/Rounded Single Speed Pool Motor provides superior design and technology for in-ground swimming pool pumps.

Top Mounted Conduit Box Easy to access wiring compartment make the install easier than ever

TEFC motors will be the standard I think moving forward in the next few years for both VS and any single-speed pump. I really like the quite operation of these pumps and you can really hear a difference when one is running versus the old versions. I also love the top mounted wiring. If you have ever replaced a motor, you know what a pain it is getting to the wires on back. Especially if you are in California where everything is up against a house or a wall. The top wiring configuration is great! 

It really comes down to the fact that TEFC motors will last longer and are ideal for all swimming pool and spa applications.
