Hi,
New to the forum. I have a 4 year old Pentair Superflo VS pump with a noisy motor that most likely developed due to the seal leaking which I just noticed while investigating the noise. The pool repair tech is recommending a full pump replacement which I just can't justify so I am looking at options. The two I have come up with are the following, replacing the seal (PS-3867 or PS-1901) and O-rings at the same time with either option.
1. Order a Pentair motor, part number 353134S, and use original drive.
2. Order a V-Green motor with drive from Inyo Pools, part number ECM16SQU.
I like option 1 the best but am concerned using the same drive with a new motor. Has anyone else done this successfully?
Is there any opinion going the V-Green motor/drive replacement? Are they reliable?
