Hi all. I have 3 WFE 8, 2 HP Pentair pumps. They are old. They operate one water feature and 2 sets of jet returns. I have aqualink RS8. Original installation.

If I purchased VS pumps, do I need to change anything with the Aqualink system? Also I found replacement motors online for good prices...same ones . Should I get those and install or are they too old where I should replace both motor and wet end?

Two of them are starting to make squealing noises. They stop when I hit with a mallet but ultimately comes and goes. I know I can change bearings but with the age and the time to change, I don't know if I have patience without being guaranteed I won't have problems.

Thanks
 
How old are they? You should get something that is compatible with Aqualink. You may need to change the pump type within Aqualink depending on what you get.
