Description
The Century UST1152 is a heavy-duty 1-1/2 horsepower pool and spa pump motor engineered for reliable, long-lasting performance in demanding residential and light commercial aquatic applications. Built around a robust 56J frame with a NEMA C face mount, this motor drops directly into most standard pool pump housings without the need for adapters or modifications.
Designed to operate on both 115V and 230V single-phase power supplies, the UST1152 offers installation flexibility across a wide range of electrical configurations. Its 3450 RPM synchronous speed delivers the high flow rates required for efficient pool filtration, while the 1.0 service factor and 1.5 THP (Total Horsepower) rating ensure the motor handles real-world pump loads without stress.
Century’s sealed switch design and sealed ball bearings protect internal components from moisture, debris, and the corrosive chemicals common in pool and spa environments, significantly extending service life and reducing maintenance requirements. The automatic thermal protector guards against overheating by shutting the motor down if operating temperatures exceed safe limits — and automatically resets once the motor cools, minimizing downtime.
The two-compartment housing keeps electrical connections isolated from the motor windings, adding an extra layer of safety and simplifying wiring. The open drip-proof (ODP) enclosure promotes airflow for effective cooling during continuous operation, while the CCWPE (counter-clockwise rotation when viewed from the pump end) rotation matches the standard drive direction of most popular pool pump brands.
