It is the genuine Hayward part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy it is an assembly and not just a motor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn EcoStar is not a conventional pump with a speed switch bolted on. The variable speed drive electronics are part of the motor unit, which is why Hayward supplies this as an assembly rather than as a bare motor. That also means a standard single speed replacement motor is not an option here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you keep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pump housing, strainer pot and the plumbing at the pad all stay in place. Only the motor assembly changes, so a failed EcoStar goes back into service without disturbing the rest of the equipment pad. Fit a new mechanical seal while the motor is off, since the old one will not reseal reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hayward","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48626107547860,"sku":"HAY-101-3403","price":858.55,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0801\/9568\/2516\/files\/default_8e287730-a7e1-4259-b348-f1b21fcbb8be.png?v=1788704883","url":"https:\/\/www.activepoolsupply.com\/products\/ecostar-motor-assembly","provider":"Active Pool Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
