I'm looking for either a replacement or an upgrade motor (high efficiency) and any additional parts I would need to replace my motor on my Sta Rite Super Max. It appears the current morot is a 1.5 HP model number PHK2RA6F-103L.

Hello Melissa - It would not be common for a motor to fail within a year but not impossible. If it failed that quickly, it would be because of a failed seal or maybe a capacitor. It sounds like it could be a capacitor. What is the make and model of your pool pump motor?
Check out our blog titled "How to Test a Pool Pump Motor Capacitor".
Pump was teplaced in Dec 2018, pool company is saying it needs to be replaced.
It turms on then off and does this about energy 5 minutes.
Is it normal for a pump to only last 1 year?
Hello Cerepak - The direct replacement motor for your Sta-Rite Super Max PHK2RA6F-103L is part number B2854.
The most energy efficient motor option would be model ECM16SQU. This is a variable speed pool pump motor.
We recommend replacing the shaft seal when you replace the motor. The standard shaft seal is part number 5250-104. The heavy-duty seal is part number 5250-210. We recommend the heavy duty one if you have salt water.
