After 8 years of use, my motor (Hayward Power Flo LX SP1515Z1BC) needs to be replaced. I just replaced the sand filter control arm thingamajig and deep cleaned the sand. It is amazing since I expected the sand to be filthy and it was pristine, even after approximately 30 mins of dunking the hose around, the water was crystal clear. Definitely says something about utilizing the trouble free pool methods of balancing water!
Anyway, after searching the web for a replacement, it seems the recommended replacement for the motor is the Hayward Power Flo LX SP1580. Granted, a lot of reviews are fake, but there seems to be an overwhelming negative to this motor. Are motors interchangeable if you stick with the same horse power? Is one brand a stand out from the others?
Any recommendations will be much appreciated!
