Re: Pump motor dying - upgrade needed?
Well, the new two-speed motor is finally installed. I went with the 1HP motor and things are working fine. I had no problems installing it - disassembly and reassembly took a few hours but I was double- and triple-checking everything each step of the way. I *really* like the sound (or lack thereof) of the motor on low speed.

Re: Pump motor dying - upgrade needed?
Glad to hear things went well. Just curious as to what your filter pressure is on low and high speed now with the new motor.

Re: Pump motor dying - upgrade needed?
Sorry for the long-delayed response - my multiport valve was leaking too much so I had the pool covered for a few weeks while waiting on a part.But it's open again now and the filter pressure is reading:
7psi on low speed
18psi on high speed
