I recently purchased a property which has a pool and a pond. I am trying to get the pool working and at the same time I am resurrecting the pond as well.
This is the current state of the pond pump.



It appears to be a Sta-Rite Dyna-Glas or Dyna-Max Series pump. Need at least new lid and new strainer basket. The motor does start up.
The last owner bought the property eight years ago and he said the pump was like that eight years ago and he never fixed it. So it just sat there. No idea how old the pump is, but it's supposed to draw water from the pond and comes back down on a cascading waterfall.
Anyway to tell the age of the pump?

Should I replace it or is it worth getting a new lid and strainer basket?
