Hello all!

Great site with tons of info, thanks so much.

My pump has the very loud whine, but wont turn on. The impeller spins very easily so i tried replacing the capacitor, but no luck as it does the same thing.

This pump was replaced about 3 years ago under a home warranty. The problem is the pump is painted completely black with absolutely no stickers or markings.

From the info i have gathered i need to replace the bearings in this pump. Can anyone help identify exactly what pump i have after i have it apart? Or can you tell just looking at it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Peace,

How to ID a black pool pump?

Take pictures, and post them here with Picasa, Photobucket, Webshots or Flickr.

By the way, your Pool Chart data lists your pool as a rectangle, but you did not provide a width measurement.

I took my pump motor apart, carefully cleaned the bearings, and located part numbers on the bearings. I found the bearings at a local Fastenal for about 3 bucks each.
