Yesterday I was running my pump in the heat of the day to pump water on the slide, went in the house for a few minutes, came back out and motor had kicked off due to over heating. Sun was backing right on it but had an electrician friend check the draw and the amperage was over 8 amps. Supposed to be at 7.5 amps. He thinks the bearings are in need of replacement.
Considering just buying a new motor. It is is Hayward Super Pump. UST1102 1 HP motor. Found a replacement for $134. But should I go ahead and get a new shaft seal too? What about other seals?
I'll go ahead and rebuild the current model to use as a backup.
Thoughts? Ideas? Suggestions?
