So, I have two Jandy Stealth pumps (I believe 1.5 HP each) on my pool. Both 5 years old.
The pump powering the water feature and polaris is fine. But the main pump powering the skimmers is incredibly and annoyingly loud. I had a local pool supply company come by and take a look, and recommend two options since I have a problem with the bearings:
a) purchase and install new motor only -- around $600 - comes with one year warranty
or
b) purchase and install brand new variable speed Jandy @ 2.7 HP, which comes with a three year warranty and would also allow me to use a lot less power next swimming season (since it is variable speed).
Would love any and all advice. Is it possible to purchase a used variable speed for install?
Thanks in advance.
