I have a Sta-Rite Max-E-Pro pump model P6E6G-208L. Motor model K48N2PA105. 2 HP. 1.5 KW. 230 V. 3450 RPM. Phase 1. 60 Hz. Service Factor 1.3. Code H.
It's ~15 years old and sometimes siezes up before it can turn on, tripping its breaker. I only want to run it about 20-30 minutes each day to pump water for a waterfall feature. How do I figure out what I can replace it with? It seems like some models are upwards $500 while others are around $250-300. An exact replacement is even as much as $700 on other sites (I imagine because it's old / out of production).
Thank you.
