We are a hydroponic farm in the Philippines with 45 units of Sta-Rite P6R6F3-207 1.5 Hp 230/460V 3PH Max-E-Pro Pool Pump.
We have had these pumps for a number of years and find them very reliable but from time to time we need to replace the motors. Our supplier in the Philippines is not currently able to give us supply anymore.
Please help me to find the replacement motor to match the existing pump and we using 3-phase 60Hz supply. Many thanks in advance.

Thank you James for this details, I contacted them and hope to get a reply.
 
Who did you contact?

Make sure that you send a picture of the motor label to the supplier.

It looks like the total hp is 2.2.

What voltage do you have?

I contacted Inyopools and ATO waiting for the reply. Here in the Philippines they only recommend single phase supply or a bigger 4Hp for the 3-phase.
The supply we using is 3 phase 400volts.
Did you mean the total hp is 2.2 because of the SF of 1.47?

Do the pumps work well for the purpose?

Do the pumps just run continuously?

Can you describe the requirements for flow and pressure?

What is the actual flow and pressure for the pumps?

Have you considered going bigger or smaller or maybe to a variable speed pump?

45 units of Sta-Rite P6R6F3-207 1.5 Hp 230/460V 3PH Max-E-Pro Pool Pump.
Why do you need 45 pumps?

Can you use fewer larger pumps?

How long does a motor last before you have to replace it?

Do you want to buy motors in bulk?

If yes, how many do you want to buy at one time?

What was your cost for motors from your old supplier?
 
The supply we using is 3 phase 400volts.
400 or 460 volts?

You can use part number 354808S.

The main things that need to match are:

Total HP = 2.2.
Frame = Square Flange.
Phase = 3 phase.
Volts = 460?
Speed = 3,450 RPM.
Frequency = 60Hz.

Is it the winding that are failing, If so I would look for a local company that can rewind them and install new bearings. Otherwise, I would look into replacing them with something that is more serviceable in your area. If motor replacement is common, I would looks for a pump that uses a universal motor and is coupled to a pump. This would make it easier to source a replacement motor and when the seals leak it is less likely to cause damage to the motor.

Hi James, actually these motors are used in hydroponics farm here in the Philippines, 1 motor per hydroponics house.
Due to farm expansion the company need the same motor since it was proven cost-efficient, economical and consistently running 24hrs 7 days without failure. Last 2022 the company ordered 20 units of this motor but since it was no longer available it takes longer time from the supplier to manufacture and also it is costly since they made it by request.
When I joined the company 2weeks ago, there are 10 motors already damaged and the farm no longer have any spare available. They tried to send out for rewinding but did not run longer and damaged again.
We cannot use larger pump since there are of different piping connections on each greenhouse farm.
I requested update on the price and quotation from the supplier pending their reply.

The current flow requirement is 400 liters per minute at 16 meters of pump head.

This supplier replied to me and they can ship to the Philippines. This is the exact motor replacement therefore I decided to get from this supplier. Thank you so much for the big help.
