Alright, i know the time was going to come sooner or later, but time has now come where I need a new pump. Coming to the end of my slam when opening, the pump is making a very loud grinding noise, and is very warm to the touch - I believe bearings are shot in the unit and theres a lot of friction going in there.
The pump is a hand-me-down from my dads old pool, and is currently only a 1 hp hayward super pump. Filter is a hayward pro sand filter.- model s244T.
The previous pump that was with the pool (dead when we moved in) when i bought the house was a 1.5 hp.
What is a good pump to go with? Pool store gave a price for a Hayward 1.5hp at $750.
This seems high when looking up prices elsewhere, but not sure if models are different from what I see on amazon, or its just markup for poolstore
Good news is, pool water is crystal clear now, so if I need to be off for a day or two to switch over it wouldn't be the absolute deadliest in terms of progress.
