    Newbie-ish owner. Need new pump. Suggestions?

    I currently have this pump (or motor??) that started going bad last summer (pics attached). I know nothing about what I need, but I have been reading about variable speed pumps.

    VSP won’t pull water

    Does the Hayward OmniPL upgrade work with EcoStar Pumps?

    I just installed a OmniPL upgrade as the circuit board on my OmniLogic was defective. Everything seems to be working fine, but the new system is not recognizing the vsp during the setup. It asks for the "Hayward Unique Address" or HUA and doesn't see my EcoStar VSP. Does anyone know if it needs...

    VSP in North Texas

    I am in the process of finalizing my equipment choices for a new build and was told by my builder that a VSP in Texas wouldn't be a cost saver due to such warm temps in the summer. They are recommending a 1-speed, 2hp pump for a 15k G pool. They gave an example of a VSP working well in San Diego...
