Hey all,

As if I haven't had enough problems, I think it's time to replace the pump. It's been leaking since I opened back in June and the leak has continued to worsen. It's also 10+ years old and loud as a freight train, so I think replacement is the most logical option.

In doing some research online and in the forum, it looks like all I need is a 1/2 HP motor. Can you confirm that this is accurate (specs are in my signature)? I'm leaning toward Hayward, but their vast offerings of models is confusing. Anyone have any suggestions on a model?

I'm resourceful, but no electrician. Is it too difficult to install myself? I hate to call a pool company and get charged an arm and a leg.

Thanks, A
