All: Looking for recommendations - I have a 1/2 HP Hayward Power-Flo II on my 15x30 AG. It's worked great (even with the solar panels on the roof of the garage:-}), but the bearings have gotten grotty and the thru bolts on the motor have rusted in place, so I can't replace them (3 of the 4 bolts broke when I took it apart and no amount of work will get the remains of the bolts out of the pump housing).

Aside this rust issue, I've been pleased with the Hayward and have no real qualms about buying another one, but would like to solicit opinions on other makes - pros & cons.

And I have learned that, regardless of what I buy, I will pull the motor bolts and apply some anti-sieze to them as soon as I pull it out of the box:-}

Thanks,
Tom C
