Hayward Super Pump replacement

Thanks for the feedback. I don't think the bearings are seized because when I tighten the impeller, I can get it tight enough that I turn the shaft (albeit, in the opposite direction).

Update:

I went to a local store that's the best for parts and repair. Refurbished motor was 319. Used motor was 199. No guarantee on that. Complete pump was 599. Guy said he had never heard of using a 2 speed pump in anything under 50k gallons. His impression was you used the higher speed on them to turn over the water in large pools. I tried to explain what I understood about them, but he wasn't interested.

I researched 2 speed motors, but I could not find out how you actually switched speeds, so I gave up. I ordered a replacement pump from Amazon for 312 and created a new account so I could get a Prime trial. Paid the extra 4 bucks for next day shipping and I got it delivered this afternoon (Saturday). Total was 316.32. Just used the motor as I didn't want to cut new PVC.

At least the problem is solved. That guy is totally wrong about 2-speed pumps. They can benefit any size pool. High speed is used for vacuuming, backwashing, draining, and other times when you want to do more than just circulate. Great power savings on low speed. Never dug into one but there is a switch on the motor that changes the winding configuration to cut the speed in half.

That store did have a 2 speed re-manufactured motor there. The box was open, so I looked for some kind of switch, but I didn't see anything. I guess maybe the box was mislabeled. Anyway, at least the filter is running. Was getting nervous after 5 days and the temperature rising.
