I called Hayward back and this time the gentleman told me that sometimes they will substitute a black motor for a gold one. He also said that the black box on top-capacitor-usually isn't shown on pictures. I don't understand that. I know the pic I've seen of CarlD's pump, I don't see the capacitor. Maybe they moved it to the top. He didn't have an answer for me if they moved it up there or not. At least it works and I'm using less electricity. Denise
