Replace Jandy PHPM 2.0 pump

[Hagefamily]

Pool build finished spring 2014 so 9 years old now. In ground, vinyl liner, cartridge filter, with Jandy PHPM 2.0 pump for 33k gallons.

Opened yesterday and pump is working but very loud. Pool place said they’ll replace motor and seal for $850.

Looking to find out if that’s a reasonable price, should I just buy a new one and swap, or maybe buy motor/seal & DIY repair? I’ve replaced the capacitor once but never cracked open the pump since it was installed.

Do they even sell this brand and parts anymore?

I appreciate thoughts and suggestions!

What type of motor are they quoting? If a single-speed, they are no longer legal. You would do better with a VSP motor like the Nidec Neptune NPTQ270.

I didn’t know fixed HP was banned now. Good to know! I’ll have to check out the Nidec then!
