Ok... here's your morning challenge. Took a picture of our pump, but the sticker is faded and partially torn. Not sure how old the pump is as we've only been in the house for about 15 months. Can anyone yield any useful information from these photos? Hopefully my upload will work properly...

Thank you for the info. I will definitely give this some serious thought. I talked to a water delivery guy yesterday who seems good and comes recommended. Each 4000 gallon delivery costs $260, so doing half my pool will be 4 deliveries and about $1000. Since he can only do 4k at a time, it...
