Thanks! Bonita is Southwest Florida, near Naples. - - - Updated - - - Thanks! Is it tricky going from single speed to dual speed wiring?

Ok, I found the motor frame. It looks like 48Y was correct. I'm looking a 2 A.O. Smith motors. The single speed is $239, and the 2 speed is $382. Is it really worth the investment to get a 2 speed motor? When on the low setting, will the returns just pump less forcefully, and will the spa...

Can you recommend a model that I can compare size specs to see if re-plumbing would be necessary? I assume a change like that would affect my utility bill; that's always good! Thanks again.

Thanks, zea3. The pool guy is coming back tomorrow morning. I'll see what he has to say. Hopefully he will stand behind his repair and make it right. This guy also quoted me $700 for a new pump; this doesn't seem right. I was reading this article, which reiterates what you said above about...

Hello, I'm new here, but this looks like the place to be for pool advice. My Pentair Sta Rite MPRA6G-155L 2hp pool pump quit working last night. Today, I had a local pool guy come over and he told me the impeller broke. The motor was working, but it wasn't spinning the impeller. For $130 he...
