Need advise on pump or motor

[The_dev_jeff]

So yesterday my pump/motor died. When I turn on the electricity to the pump it makes an aweful noise and smoke comes up from the motor. I am pretty sure I need to replace the motor but I'm not sure if I need to replace the pump too. What all should I buy?

That is what i currently have. I can't upload any more attachments here and I can't figure out how to delete my current attachments. I appreciate any advise. Replacing the motor seems easy enough but I know pumps are a bit more involved. What do you guys think? Will I need to take it apart to find out?

If you want to go with another single speed, you want a Century UST1102 motor. However, since you need to replace the motor anyway, you might as well get a two speed motor (STS1072RV1) so that you can save on energy too. You can usually get one with a switch on the back to change speeds or you can get a two speed timer.

So I shouldn't have to worry about replacing the pump or anything?

Also STS1072RV1 is listed at 3/4 hp / 1/10 hp is that enough or since the old one is 1 hp do I need a 2 speed that does at least one 1hp? I am just totally lost on this stuff. I could buy the same one I guess.

Do I need to buy a seal or o-rings or anything like that?

You have an up rated 1 hp pump which is the same as a full rated 3/4 hp pump so a full rated motor will work fine.

Yes you should get a go-kit for the pump.
