Product details
The U.S. Motors Affinity AVSS3 is a 3 HP variable speed replacement motor for pool pumps, running on 230 volts at 60 Hz in a 56Y square flange TEFC frame.
Motor and control in one
The Affinity is a programmable motor and control together. The maker describes it as a high efficiency pool pump motor built to be an easy field replacement, one that can be wired with minimal or no modification to what is already there. That matters on a retrofit, where the alternative is often re-plumbing or adding a separate drive enclosure.
Why variable speed is worth the swap
A single speed motor turns the same water at the same rate whether the pool needs it or not. A programmable motor lets you run long and slow for filtering and step up only when you need the flow, which is where the running cost difference shows up over a season.
Before you order
Check the frame and flange on the motor you are removing. This is a 56Y square flange unit, and it needs a 230 volt, 60 Hz supply.
