Capcom Genteq C325R 25 UF MFD X 370 Vac GE Industrial Replacement Capacitor Round, 97F9606

This capacitor is an exact replacement for a Pentair EC-LA01N Booster pump capacitor that runs the pool cleaner. Easy to replace took 5 mins. Search youtube on how to replace it and make sure to discharge the capacitor before removing the old one.

Works perfectly for a Hayward Super II, 1.5hp dual speed pool pump. I had an issue where the pump would only turn on when in low speed mode. On high speed, it would hum but not turn on, then trip the breaker. I read replacing the capacitor could resolve the issue and the replacement part at most “discount” online pool stores was $33. Found this model on Amazon when searching the same specs (25 MFD, 370 Vac) for less than $12. When I opened the pump, lo and behold, the exact same Genteq capactor came with the unit. It took 5 minutes to replace it and it fixed the issue. Pool pump is working perfectly now. A pool repair service charges between $89 and $129 just to come out and investigate the problem and many will just replace the entire motor for $350. With little electrical knowledge, I was able to resolve the issue for <$12!!!!

My 2hp Wayne sprinkler pump stopped running - the circuit breaker blew. Circuit breaker did not blow when I unplugged the pump which narrowed it down. Thinking I would have to buy a new pump I took a look and found oil on the outside of the motor from the housing on top that covered a genteq model 97F9604 370vax 22.5uf run capacitor. Replaced it with this 25uf and the pump runs great so I'm not out the big bucks. Used caulk to reseal the cap housing, we'll see if it holds up. Looking back on it the pump may have been losing some of its power prior.

Worked like it should!

This seems to be a well manufactured unit. The original starter cap. is similarly sized (even larger) to the Genteq, so physically and electrically it's a drop in! We all know that these AC induction motors can't start without the capacitor. The cap cover is on the side of the pump - the single protrusion, 2-screw, kinda water-deflective, easy to get at. Funny, I knew that motor/pump (for the Polaris) unit didn't just 'go bad.' Ha! Opened up the cap cover, pulled it - ohmmeter said cap. was open. Easy bet for any of us regarding booster pump - if it quits, look here first! Best $13 spent in a long time, fo sho!

I was blown away when the replacement start capacitor arrived and it was an exact match with the defective part. It literally took less than 10 minutes to swap out the caps and the pool pump was up and running! Some caveats. This capacitor sits on top of the motor under a cover held on by two hex screws. The literature refers to this capacitor as the, “run capacitor.” Don’t be fooled. This is the capacitor you want to change when the pool motor will not start (just a loud buzz). The original capacitor is 25 µf as is the replacement. The run capacitor is buried deep in the motor housing and would be very difficult to replace so this is great news. I have included some very basic photos showing the typical Pentair motor configuration. I’m sure there are others out there but this unit is apparently the most common. Please make absolutely sure that you’ve disabled power to the pump prior to starting your project. 240 vac should not be taken lightly. Good luck and good swimming.

Used this to repair my Pentair 3/4 HP booster pump model la01n. The swap took no time as it is under the top covering piece on top of the unit. Two screws, move wires, done.

The only reference I could find online for my pool's booster pump, a Pentair LA01N, referred to the motor using a 50mF capacitor, but, after opening the cover on the top of the motor, I found it takes a 25mF capacitor. Once this new one arrived, I had it swapped in & the pump was able to start & run just fine after turning the breaker back on. As far as lifespan for the original capacitor, I installed the pump shortly after ordering it in March, 2013, so the capacitor lasted about 5 years. I anticipate the new one lasting about as long, but it's good to know they're readily available & inexpensive compared to the $250 cost of the pump. I've included a couple pics of the original capacitor, which expanded and burst at the top, compared to the new unit.

Bought for my hot tub jet pump and fixed the issue! Saved me a ton of cash buying this one part instead of having to hire someone

My hot tub pump would just hum for 5 seconds and click off. This cost 25 dollers and took 5 mins to change. Worked great.

Fácil à installer et bon

Works as intended

I installed this as a replacement in my Hayward Pool Pump. Worked correctly immediately. Fit correctly as well.
