ATTENTION: Shipping Restrictions Apply!
California: This replacement pump motor does not comply with California's Efficiency Regulations. These regulations can be found in Title 20, in the California Code of Regulations (CCR) sections 1601-1609. To meet California’s requirement, the replacement pump motor must be a variable speed.
New York: New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) Section 509.23 has adopted the same standards as the State of California Title 20 laws. This pump/motor fails to meet these new regulations. Consequently, shipping this pump/motor to New York is illegal and violates state law. Should an order for this item be placed with a New York shipping address, we will be forced to cancel the order.
Familiarize yourself with the laws and building codes in your state and local area in regards to replacing pump motors, in order to adhere to their regulations.
To comply with current and upcoming regulations we recommend upgrading now to a variable speed motor.
We recommend using Century EVC225 2.25THP Variable Speed Motor
