ATTENTION: Shipping Restrictions Apply! Due to U.S. Department of Energy regulations effective July 19, 2021, and local state building codes, single-speed motors have strict regional limitations. This replacement pump motor does not comply with California's Efficiency Regulations (Title 20 CCR Sections 1601–1609) or New York's Efficiency Regulations (NYSERDA Section 509.23), which require variable speed motors for pool pump replacements. Please check your state and local regulations prior to ordering. To ensure full regulatory compliance, upgrading to a variable speed motor is recommended.
