If you have been happy with the performance of the pump, you could replace the motor with a Nidec Neptune NPTQ165. About $600. You would need a GO kit that contains the needed seal and O rings (there will be parts for other models in the package that won't be used). You have been using a time clock to control your pump. All new VSP have their own built-in time clocks, including this motor.Our 10 year old Hayward SP2300VSP completely died today
Looking for recommendations on replacement as that model is discontinued.
27,000 gallon inground saltwater.
Attached a pic of current setup. Thanks in advance for your help!
Thank you! Can you please help direct me with the GO kit you referenced? I didn’t see that anywhere when I was looking at the Neptune model yiu mentioned.If you have been happy with the performance of the pump, you could replace the motor with a Nidec Neptune NPTQ165.

Hayward also makes a "power end" available for that pump, but you can find a complete pump for only about $200 more. The replacement for that pump is W3SP2303VSP.
Search for MaxFlo GO kit. Here is one example:Thank you! Can you please help direct me with the GO kit you referenced? I didn’t see that anywhere when I was looking at the Neptune model yiu mentioned.
Is replacing the motor fairly easy and straightforward? Thanks again
So I have the maxflo go kit… but the ceramic sealer is a little bit larger than the old one. Therefore it doesn’t seem quite the same fit as before. Is that ok/normal?Search for MaxFlo GO kit. Here is one example:

Replacing a motor is not particularly hard if you are a DIY person. There are many YouTube videos. Here's one:
Be very careful if you're not familiar with working with high-voltage equipment. The programming guide on the control panel cover is a great help.
First, be sure the old rubber cup came out completely, easy to miss that, even if you've done it many times.So I have the maxflo go kit… but the ceramic sealer is a little bit larger than the old one. Therefore it doesn’t seem quite the same fit as before. Is that ok/normal?
The old seal inserted into the hole. The new seal will only rest on top…
The top portion should pop loose unless Hayward made a change. Same issue with a Super 2 base. Use a screwdriver to wedge it up and off. If it is one piece, cut it down with a hacksaw, won't hurt a thing.So, this has been way more complicated than expected. The NPTQ165 isn’t necessary an exact fit due to the base of the pump (see attached picture.) how do I remove that base that is preventing the new motor from fitting in properly?
Secondly, the maxflo go kit that I purchased… the ceramic seal was too large for this NPTQ165. I ended up finding a replacement from a local pool shop that fits properly.
See attached pic… is there a way to remove this without taking the whole pump off completely?
