After several posts trying to figure out what is wrong with my pump motor, and not getting any replies, I tried to find the bearings thinking I would try replacing them, but I cannot even figure out what type to buy. I called Nidec/US Motors, and they gave me a really long part number that produces zero results in Google search. I am thinking about plan B, and replacing the motor. So my question is - are all motors the same, or should I buy one brand in particular? Also, can I buy a variable speed motor for my Hayward Super Pump, or do I just stick with the regular 1 HP one I have now? My motor is leas than 3 yrs old, and would rather get one this time that would last a bit longer!
Also, if the 2 speed is an option, is there other things I have to buy to make that work? I am a bit unclear on how you switch from low to high speed, when to use high vs low, etc...
Here is the video of the sound the motor is making, and I am thinking it is bearings, but not sure - Pool pump bearings bad - YouTube
