Flotide/MEGA - Motor Run Capacitor 20µF for SS Pool Pump - 7010426

Flotide/MEGA – Motor Run Capacitor 20µF for SS Pool Pump

This is the genuine Flotide/MEGA replacement run capacitor rated at 20µF, designed specifically for the single-phase motor of the Flotide/MEGA SS (Hydro-S) series pool pump. The run capacitor keeps the motor running efficiently by maintaining the correct phase shift in the motor windings — a failed capacitor is one of the most common causes of a pool pump motor that hums but won’t start, or runs poorly.

Compatibility

This capacitor is the correct OEM replacement for the Flotide/MEGA SS series pool and spa pump (also known as the Mega Pump SS / Hydro-S), a self-priming single-phase pump designed for medium-sized domestic swimming pools operating at 230 V AC. Always verify the capacitance value on your existing capacitor’s label before ordering to ensure an exact match.

Why Genuine Matters

Using an OEM Flotide/MEGA capacitor guarantees the correct capacitance rating, voltage tolerance, and physical form factor for your pump’s motor. Incorrect capacitance — even a small deviation — can cause the motor to overheat, reduce pump performance, and shorten the life of the motor windings. A genuine part protects your warranty and ensures reliable, long-term operation.

Installation

Capacitor replacement is an electrical task that should be carried out by a qualified electrician or pool technician. Always disconnect the pump from the mains supply and allow the old capacitor to discharge fully before handling. The wire-leaded, round form factor allows straightforward installation within the motor terminal housing.
