Replace complete pump or just motor?

[simsjim]

Cleaning contacts... I MUST remember that one! Last year I actually replaced a Hayward SuperPump with a Pentair Whisperflo because my pump was acting the same way. It was DYI, so it was just the price of the pump and some pvc, joins, hacksaw blades etc.

'Sides, since I moved into the place with the existing config, I had no idea how old the mechanicals were. The PO had the superpump feeding a SandMaster filter (which I think is for AG pools), so when I got the new pump I also installed a Taglius sand filter and my IG Liner pool is actually alot cleaner.

Ah, yes....is there a pool owner's equivalent to the proverbial "Monday Morning Quarterback"? If I knew then what I know now...which still isn’t much...lol...but I learn so much from this forum!

Thanks Al and Carl, and so glad that Andy found a cheap solution!

BTW, anyone need a used 3/4 HP Hayward Superpump with dirty contacts? Reeeeeeal cheap... LOL!

Peace
