Onga Leisuretime LTP750 Capacitor

The capacitor listed for the Onga Leisuretime LTP750 is a 20 µF (20 uF / 20 MFD), 450 VAC CBB60 motor-run capacitor with core leads, for the pump’s single-phase motor. Before ordering, read the value printed on the capacitor already in your pump: if it says 20 µF, this is the one. If it shows a different µF, buy that value instead.

Choosing the right capacitor for the Onga Leisuretime LTP750

Two numbers matter. The capacitance must match the old capacitor, normally within about 5%, and is printed as µF, uF or MFD. The voltage rating must be the same as the old one or higher; 450 VAC is a common rating for run capacitors on 230 V pump motors. This one has core leads (wires) rather than spade tags, so plan how you will join them before you start.

Our Onga Leisuretime LTP750 capacitor guide covers the capacitor for this pump, and the same 20 µF 450 V rating is also sold without a model name as a plain CBB60 run capacitor. If the seal or bearings also need doing, the LTP750 service kit includes this capacitor.

Symptoms of a failing LTP750 run capacitor

A run capacitor stays in circuit the whole time a single-phase motor is on, so it wears with heat and hours. Typical signs:

• The motor hums but does not turn, or only spins up after the shaft is flicked by hand.
• The pump trips the overload or the breaker soon after starting.
• The motor runs hot and seems slower than it used to.
• The case of the old capacitor is swollen, split or leaking.

Other pumps listed with a 20 µF capacitor

These models are also listed with a 20 µF 450 VAC capacitor: Onga Leisuretime LTP550, Onga Pantera PPP550, Onga Pantera PPP750, AstralPool CX180, AstralPool CX240, AstralPool CX280, DAB K30/70, DAB K35/40 and Grundfos JP5. That is a guide, not a promise: motors change over the years, so the µF on your own old capacitor is what decides it.

Safety when changing the LTP750 capacitor

Isolate the pump at the wall before opening the terminal box. A capacitor can hold a charge after the power is off, so discharge it across a suitable resistor before touching the terminals. If you are not confident working on mains wiring, have an electrician fit it.

Before you order

Check the old part before fitting: match the µF printed on your old capacitor.

What size capacitor does an Onga Leisuretime LTP750 take?

The Onga Leisuretime LTP750 is listed with a 20 µF, 450 VAC run capacitor. Match the µF printed on your old capacitor; if it shows a different value, order that value instead.

My Onga LTP750 hums but won't start. Is it the capacitor?

A humming LTP750 motor that will not spin, or only starts after the shaft is turned by hand, is a classic sign of a weak run capacitor. A seized shaft or worn bearings can cause the same symptom, so check the shaft turns freely too.

Does the LTP750 capacitor have wires or spade terminals?

This capacitor for the Onga Leisuretime LTP750 has flying leads, which are wires rather than spade tags.

Is the LTP750 capacitor the same as the LTP550 one?

The Onga Leisuretime LTP550 is listed with the same 20 µF 450 VAC rating as the LTP750. Always confirm against the µF printed on the old capacitor in your own pump.

Can I use a capacitor with a higher voltage rating in my LTP750?

Yes, a higher voltage rating is fine, but the µF must match. This one is 450 VAC, a common rating for single-phase pump motors on 230 V mains like the Onga LTP750.

What if it doesn't fit?

If you're unsure, send us a photo of your old part and the pump's label before ordering.
