Hi guys. The booster pump for my polaris cleaner died and I'm trying to figure out my options. SWG 40K+ inground gallon pool with a sand filter. The main pump is working fine and the booster is only used for the polaris. I've confirmed the pump is getting power, and replaced the capacitor. Should I:
1. Replace the pump with a Polaris PB4-60, which I *think* is an equivalent pump. $250 shipped:

2. Try to repair the pump, or maybe try to replace just the motor. I'm handy but don't yet know what goes into doing this. I found what I think is the correct replacement motor (Century A.O. Smith B625 Pool Cleaner 3/4 HP Replacement Motor, 6.4/12.8A 115/230V) for $162:

3. Or should I think about replacing my main pump with a mulit speed pump that can also handle the polaris cleaner?
Obviously I can get by without a polaris cleaner, but it really is nice to have and I'd like to get it up and running again before the short season is over. What should I do?
