Aqua Max 16µF Pool Pump Capacitor

Replacement 16 microfarad (µF) start/run capacitor for single-phase pool pump motors. The capacitor provides the electrical boost the motor needs to start and maintain rotation. When a capacitor fails, the pump either won’t start at all, hums without spinning, or starts sluggishly and trips the breaker. Replacing a failed capacitor is one of the most common and cheapest pool pump repairs.

Specifications

Capacitance: 16µF. Type: 2-wire connection. Match the capacitor rating (µF) to your pump motor’s specification — using the wrong value will cause poor starting performance or motor damage. Check the old capacitor’s label or your pump motor plate for the correct µF rating.
