I am shopping for a replacement so i will know what to get in the event of the pump's demise.

From what I've seen/been told here, find a 3/4 or 1 HP 2 speed pump. You need to check the pump's output and make sure it doesn't exceed the capabilities of your filter, but if you haven't had problems with your current pump, I doubt downsizing is going to present new filtration issues.

Tell us more about your filter so you can get some better advice.
