I have a PENTAIR WHISPERFLOW WFDS-6 WITH A CENTURY AO SMITH 7-177456-03, a dual speed 1 1/2 hp MOTOR with a high low speed switch
I have a 14k gallon in ground pool with a popup cleaning system, a Hayward DE6020 DE filter and a separate spa/heater serviced by the same pump/filter
I installed this pump around 1998 give or take a year or two, had to replace the capicitor last year.
Recently, the motor will balk and stop when switched to high speed.
I think the motor bearings are tired and getting some water under the seal plate.
the pump body looks good so I want to replace the motor with a variable speed.
On inyo, looking at V-Green
Should I replace with the V-Green 1.65 HP Square Flange 48Y Variable Speed Motor - ECM16SQU
or should I replace with the V-Green 2.7 HP Square Flange 48Y Variable Speed Motor - ECM27SQU?
Either way, can I reuse the impeller or would I need a new one?
the pump sits in the Arizona sun. Do I need to build a cover for the motor so that the electronics / control module / screen are not hosed by the heat here? Surfaces can get up to 140 degrees so that concerns me.
