Nidec BR Pool Pump Non-Warranty Coverage Guide


This document from Nidec outlines critical information on warranty exclusions for BR pool pump motors. It explains how improper installation and seal failures can void motor warranties, and introduces key product features designed to enhance reliability in challenging environments.

Key Points

  • A used or incorrectly installed mechanical seal may cause premature bearing failure—this is not covered by warranty.
  • Calcification buildup indicates prolonged seal failure, which also disqualifies the motor from warranty.
  • Rear-mounted capacitors and corrosion-resistant rotor design improve motor durability in high-moisture applications.
  • Updated terminal boards enhance installation visibility and usability with "push-in, screw-down" features.
  • Water intrusion from flooding or seal leaks, visible as corrosion or water lines, voids warranty eligibility.
  • The motor uses a Switchless PSC design, eliminating components that commonly fail like actuators or starting switches.
  • Triple Bearing Protection System includes a shaft slinger, spring-loaded seal, and sealed ball bearing.
  • Distinct configurations exist for 1-speed and 2-speed applications, with or without voltage slides.
