Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my pump needs a new drive?
Common symptoms of a failed drive include a dead or blank display with confirmed power at the pump, error codes that persist after a power cycle, or a motor that won't respond to speed commands. If only the buttons or screen are bad, a keypad assembly may be the cheaper fix.
Which pumps does the Pentair 356282 fit?
SuperFlo VST, SuperMax VS, and WhisperFlo VST variable speed pumps manufactured after October 2020. Check your pump's date of manufacture on the data plate before ordering.
Is this a genuine Pentair part?
Yes — the 356282 is a factory-original Pentair replacement drive kit, ensuring full compatibility and performance.
Can I install it myself?
Drive replacement involves high-voltage wiring and should be performed by a qualified pool professional or electrician. Always disconnect power at the breaker before servicing.
