Capacitor
Give your motor new life with our pool pump capacitors!
Your pump hums but won't start? It makes a dull buzzing noise or overheats abnormally? The culprit is very often the start or run capacitor. This small electrical component is essential for giving the single-phase motor the impulse it needs to start rotating. At Jardiboutique, we have selected a complete range of high-quality capacitors to repair your filtration system at a lower cost.
We offer models of different capacities (expressed in microfarads - µF), ranging from the smallest for sweep pumps to the most powerful for large-volume filtration pumps. Our capacitors are compatible with all the major brands on the market such as Hayward, Pentair, Speck, AstralPool and even Leroy Somer motors. Sturdy and reliable, they are designed to withstand frequent start cycles and the humid conditions of technical rooms.
Jardiboutique's technical tip: To choose the right model, always rely on the value printed on your old capacitor (for example: 12µF, 20µF, 25µF...). A value that's too low will prevent the motor from starting, while a value that's too high could cause it to overheat. Warning: a capacitor can remain charged even after the power has been cut off; handle it with care or discharge it by bridging its terminals with an insulated screwdriver before any handling.
