GUARDIAN® POOL MOTOR
Virginia Graeme Baker (VGB) Compliant Pool Motor with Safety Vacuum Release System (SVRS)
Guardian® motors with safety vacuum release system (SVRS) is designed to stop the pool pump motor if a blockage is detected. While the pool pump is running, the Guardian motor module monitors pump motor input power. If the motor input power drops rapidly from its normal running condition value (indicating a possible blockage event), the Guardian motor will turn off.
Guardian SVRS helps prevent body entrapment on drains due to
suction only. Guardian® motors comply with requirements for safety vacuum release systems in the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act of 2007.
Guardian motors also facilitates no main drain pool designs in place of an equalizer line. Guardian motors shut off the motor/pump when the water level drops below the skimmer to reduce pump, motor and seal damage.

Find the right pump or motor
Enter what is printed on the label of the one you are replacing. Anything that differs is shown with the difference spelled out, so you can judge it for yourself.
Port size is the plumbing thread, not the pipe — a 2 inch union measures about 3 inches across the male thread. Amps are compared to within half an amp, since published figures round differently between motor brands. Voltage is never treated as a near miss: a 115V motor is not one step from a 230V supply. Anything whose page does not publish a figure you entered is left out rather than offered with a caveat — search it by name to see it anyway.
