Davey Whisper Pool Pump Capacitor

The Davey Whisper Pool Pump is a single-phase pool pump commonly found in pool & spa pumps setups. Its motor runs on a 12µF 450V motor-run capacitor in a CBB60-style can — here's the exact replacement and how to confirm it.

The Davey Whisper Pool Pump pool pump uses a 12µF 450V motor-run capacitor (CBB60-style) — it's the part that helps the single-phase motor start and keep running smoothly. We source this value from manufacturer / supplier documentation. Match the replacement to 12µF (about 10.8–13.2µF) at 450V or higher; the checklist below covers how to confirm it against your own capacitor.

The capacitor that fits

One listing covers every terminal style — open it and choose your terminal (lug, flying lead, or stud) from the dropdown to match how your old capacitor's wires come out. Not sure? Any works electrically; the terminal is just the connection.

How to be sure you get the right one

  • µF must matchthe Whisper Pool Pump needs 12µF (about 10.8–13.2µF), within roughly ±5–10%. Too low and the motor won't start; too high and it runs hot.
  • Voltage can go up, never downa 450V (or higher) cap is correct here; a 450V part safely replaces a 370V or 440V one. Don't fit below 450V.
  • Check the terminal + sizemake sure the new cap physically fits the housing and the connections match (the Whisper Pool Pump typically uses a flying-lead terminal).
  • When in doubt, read your old capthe printed µF and voltage on the part you're replacing is the final word.

Common questions — Davey Whisper Pool Pump capacitor

What capacitor does the Davey Whisper Pool Pump use?

A 12µF 450V motor-run capacitor (CBB60-style). Always confirm against the rating printed on your existing capacitor before ordering.

Can I fit a higher-voltage capacitor in the Davey Whisper Pool Pump?

Yes — voltage can be equal or higher, never lower. A capacitor rated 450V or above is fine (450V is the usual choice), as long as the µF still matches (12µF).
