Hi,
I have a 20 x 40 rectangular inground pool with vinyl liner. We have a salt water system. We had our pool put in 2014. In May of 2019 our pool pump was making a lot of noise and died. So we had a new one put in by a pool company . They put in a UST1152 Super Pump 1-1/2 HP inground motor and a Super pump seal.
Fast forward to yesterday, our pool pump started making a loud noise again. It a loud humming. It kind of sounds like the noise I used to hear from transformers if that makes sense. I called the pool company and was told there was only a one year warranty . They are going to charge me $150 to come out and $599 for a new motor.
It seems it should last longer than this. I don't want to replace t he motor every two years. Would I be better off just buying a whole new pump? Is there a better one to go with? Is it this type of pump? I know the pool company will basically put the same one in again.
