Dunno, but it looks like a Hayward Super Pump copy. Since you are in Florida, it may be something Waterbear has seen.

Yep, it's a superpump clone called the Precision Pool Pump by Precison Pump Company and probably has a PPC logo somewhere on it. I saw one once before and it uses a lot of 1600 series Superpump parts. It has an AO Smith motor and it's sold by Sears, Buy.com, Amazon, and Electric Motor Warehouse. It's not a Florida thing. My best guess is that it is made in China and is a 'builders special' although Electric Motor Warehouse say that they assemble them in Michigan which probably means they are mounting the AO Smith motors on the wet ends which probably come from China.

My guess is a Hayward SuperPump 1600 serires O-ring will fit. (I assume you mean the lid O- ring.)
