I can't read the label well enough.
It looks like maybe 60 + 7.5.
I think that the size should be 40 + 7.5, but I am not sure.

Hp1100 pool heater turns on no instructions

Looks like a HP2040, which is a 60 + 7.5 capacitor.
I do not know which one is correct.

Thanks James I’ll go with the one which is in it now which is a 60 and 12$ for a generic without pouring more into the bottomless Pit
Looks like HPX2040 is probably correct.

A new capacitor will not fix a locked compressor.
It is not economical to replace the compressor.
Time for a new HP.

I suspect that they do not really trust the service person's diagnosis.
Most diagnoses are mostly guesses rather than actual tests.
Many HVAC people who show up are just apprentices doing the basic work.
Unless the person has at least a Journeyman level license, they are probably not doing the best work.
In Florida, HVAC licensure progresses through apprentice, journeyman, and master levels, each requiring specific experience, training, and examination requirements, with the master level being the highest and allowing for unlimited scope of work.
Here's a breakdown of the HVAC license levels in Florida:
Apprentice: This is the entry-level license, requiring a high school diploma or GED and completion of an approved HVAC training program.
Journeyman: To become a Journeyman, you need to have completed the apprenticeship program and have a certain amount of work experience, followed by passing the required exams.
Master: The Master license is the highest level, allowing for unlimited scope of work. It requires a journeyman license, additional years of experience, and passing the master-level exams.

A hard start capacitor boosts the amperage to kick start the compressor.
If the compressor has voltage and the hard start did not get it running then the compressor is dead. There is no other diagnostic.
You can get something like this to monitor temps before and after the heater to determine temp rise.
Verify that the device will work with pool 10K thermistors and get the necessary 2 pin connectors for the wires from the thermistors.
Temperature Sensor Display for Four 10K-Ohm Thermistors. Part No. DCB-TP010X4.
This has 4 temp sensor inputs.
You can put two temp sensors before and two after for better accuracy or use one for air temp or something else.
Maybe one for air temp and then mount a temp sensor above the fan to get a temp differential between ambient and fan to see if the air is getting cooler.
Need to provide power and mount where not exposed to weather.
Temperature sensor display for up to four Koolance 10KOhm thermistors (sensors not included).
The display can be toggled between ºC and ºF units by holding the button for one second.
A 4-pin Molex connector is provided for input power, or alternatively, the display accepts a 12VDC 5.5mmbarrel plug (not included).
The maximum readable temperature range is -30ºC to 90ºC (-22ºF to 194ºF).

Thanks James this looks like a great piece of hardware. I will take your advise as always and look at a new heater. I’m trying to find one with the longest parts warranty on the market
Florida has several Heat Pump Manufacturers.
Getting a local Brand installed by an authorized dealer is usually the best bet.
You want to make sure that the installer can service the unit as needed.
