Well it's been a while, I just remembered something else about
run and start. We used to have to put "motor run" capacitors on all our
large equipment (3 phase) to get our power factor closer to one (unity).
It wasn't ever used in that situation for creating a second phase, as
we were using 3 phase motors. However, this system is a single phase
system. I don't think the same issue is being addressed by the run
capacitor.

btw, I checked for "motor start" capacitor on google and got a nice
place to buy caps.

types of caps in a pool motor application
