I've got a 1.5HP Hayward single speed pump.
It works just fine, but being a single speed pump, it consumes quite a bit of power.
I've been looking at replacing the pump in its entirety, but have recently come across the A.O. Smith/Centurion/??? V-Green motors.
I know they'll bolt right up to my existing pump head, and my automation system can handle them. My only issue is the reviews of it seem sparse.
Does anyone have any experience/advice if I should just bite the bullet and get a whole new pump? Or if I should go after just replacing the motor? Experience with these motors would be tremendously helpful too.
