Looks like I may need the electrician back though. Changed to 115v last time with motor replacement.

Thanks! That may fit the bill, and less than replacing the whole thing. Appreciate your shopping for me :)

Posted below. Yes, I know I need to fix my leak :) thanks!

Due to water intrusion, I just killed Replacement motor on my Hayward super pump. Replacement motor was a two sped with a timer that I quite liked but cannot seem to find again. Pump is about 16 years old, no cracks, but wondering if I should just replace the whole thing. Recommendations? We...

It is ugly. But functional! #nojudgement ;)

Thanks ver much for your response! Maybe we can make it another year or so... lucky!

The culvert that leads down to a Brook. no sewer here.

15 ish year old pool, original liner.

Another option, although will cost a bit: I have a 23,000 gal pool, and we bought a SWG from amazon that is not in-line, but hangs on the side of the pool. It works to maintain my FC in range all by itself! Solaxx. $288 Total. I used the first one for 4 years, then replaced it. Very very happy...

Hi smart folks, I just replaced my 1 HP single-speed super pump (motor A.O. Smith) motor with a 3/4 HP 2 speed motor as advised by INYO pools discussion. Same rpm on high, and this one is whisper quiet in comparison. Also comes with a built in timer that I need to program. My question: on high...
