I'm at a loss. For the 2nd time in just over a year, the motherboard I guess that's what you'd call it - i think it's the "drive" is fried due to lightning. I was able to find just the drive without the pump online last time (for $1000). Found it the same place this time, but they say it's out of stock and won't be in for 8-12 WEEKS. My pool will be a cesspool by then. So my only option seems to buy the whole thing together for about $2000. The salt cell system controller that I got with it when the pool was installed has never worked great in the first place, and the wifi connectivity of the pump controller has been spotty at best for trying to connect to change run-times and schedules. The whole system basically sucks.
My question is, there is a way I can replace the pump with something altogether different and simpler (not a variable speed?) and perhaps with a simple on/off switch and a timer? Is that a thing? Is anything out there compatible? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

so now I’m back to shopping around.
