Pentair 356286S TEFC Replacement Motor, Almond, for SuperFlo VS/VST and SuperMax VS
Almond TEFC motor for post-October 2020 SuperFlo pumps.
The Pentair 356286S is the almond TEFC motor for SuperFlo VS, SuperFlo VST and SuperMax VS variable speed pumps manufactured after October 2020, and Pentair lists the same part number as the motor for the WhisperFlo VST. Pentair describes it as a high-efficiency permanent magnet motor with a 56 square flange. This is the motor alone: Pentair sells the motor/drive assembly under its own part numbers.
Why PST Customers Pick This
Permanent Magnet Motor
Pentair lists a high-efficiency permanent magnet motor, totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC), with a 56 square flange for the SuperFlo VST, SuperFlo VS, SuperMax VS and WhisperFlo VST.
Post-October 2020 Pumps
Pentair's catalog lists 356286S for SuperFlo VS/VST and SuperMax VS pumps built after October 2020, and its user guide parts list covers pumps manufactured after 11/02/20.
Almond or Black
356286S is the almond motor. Pentair lists the black TEFC motor separately as 356287S.
Motor Only
Pentair lists the drive kits and the motor/drive assembly (356288S almond, 356289S almond RS-485) under their own part numbers, separate from this motor.
Keep It Cool and Dry
Pentair's motor care steps: shade the motor from the sun, keep any enclosure well ventilated, keep chemicals and dust away, and protect it from splashing water. Let wet motor internals dry before running.
Electrical Notice
Pentair states these pumps should be installed and serviced only by a qualified pool service professional. Never open the inside of the drive or motor enclosure: Pentair warns a capacitor bank holds a 230 VAC charge even when there is no power to the unit.

Let customers speak for us
The process was smooth and lights arived as expected. Everything test out in good working order.
Needed to replace the control overlay on our Nordic Impulse hot tub, but could not find out the make or model number of the actual control panel on our tub. By taking measurements and photos or our actual control panel button positions and functions, I was able to narrow down the options. I ordered this overlay as the button positions seemed to be in the right positions, even though the overall size was smaller than the control panel. The overlay works, in that all buttons and functions are in the right place, and the overlay seems to have adhered well to the panel. It is not a perfect match, as it is smaller overall than it should be. But I am happy with the result and will buy an additional identical overlay as a backup in case this one, too, deteriorates at some point. Took a lot of detecting, but the result is successful!
This costume is legit. It has the sparkle, glittery sheen to it like the one used on screen! Very happy with it!!
Excellent service!
PST was great at communicating the status of my order throughout the various stages. I actually did encounter a shipment issue and they handled it without issue. I will be doing business again with them.

as described, fast shipping
My wife has RA and is always uncomfortable. Our hot tub heater failed and all the local shops were not able to assist until November. I was able to order an exact replacement part which was delivered within 3 days the hot tub was up and functioning in three days. I was very impressed with the quality and service.
Good quality just ordered wrong size and also need thicker cover
Fit perfectly, and fast shipping
Super fast shipping and reliable product !
I accidentally broke the original knob by tightening it too much. This was a perfect fit and works 100%. Fast delivery too!
Swapped out broken heater (lasted about 6 years) for this one. The instructions are for the electronics, not for the plumbing. You must get everything perfectly aligned or the plumbing may leak. I needed to loosen the electronics box to get the plumbing perfectly aligned. I have hot water again.
Great prices, fast shipping, great products
Haven't received yet but I'm sure it'll be great
