Hi,
My pump made suddenly big noise, and I checked basic things except disassembling motor to check impeller.
I got home insurance, so I called insurance company, and they sent a technician to check and after that, insurance company denied the service.
They told me that there are tree root near the pump, and the level is not flat, and it is the reason of not working, and they told me my insurance doesn't cover it
OKay, so I called independent service company, and they came, and they told me that the motor is bad.
He told me the motor we have for now is single motor, and he told me it will be illegal to use it in California soon, and it is not good for long term.
He recommended to install pentair VSF Pump 3HP-011056. And he quoted $1600 including installation after rebate something.
He told me that it will include timer and housing too.
Now I have questions.
I have 3 options. Please let me know which option do I have to take it.
option 1. I can try to disassemble current motor to check impeller, and I might able to fix it. However it might better to change motor for long term.
option 2. I give $1600 to the guy. and ask him to fix it. (I'm not a rich guy, and we already spent $$$ for fixing house)
option 3. I buy the pump, and I install my self. (I'm handy. However I don't have experience)
In case I take option 3, please let me know which pump(model) do I have to buy.
BTW, Are there any person here who used home insurance successfully to fix pool?
I asked independent service guy about home insurance ,and he told me Home insurance is nothing but time consuming.
He told me insurance company make money by denying, and it is almost impossible to fix pool by using the insurance.
Thank you.
