Super Pump combines proven performance with quiet, efficient and dependable operation.
I bought this after my old pump (not sure how old, it was there when I bought the house) started to leak. You can spend an afternoon poking around for seal parts, etc..., but Amazon's got some great pricing on this pump. Look at it this way: Spend $100 refitting an old pump, or $300 on a new one. It'll last you >10 years, so think of it as a $30/yr investment... You'll be glad you did.
Another thing I'd recommend is don't wait too long to swap it out. The longer you let your old pump sit there, the more it's corroding on the inside, and the harder it'll be to reuse your current plumbing connections. In the grand scheme, it's those plumbing connections that will really cost you in time/money down the road, not the pump.
A few have commented on loudness of the pump. All I can say is it seems pretty quiet - almost impossible to hear from 20 feet away.
Remember: Hayward pool pump comes pre-wired for 220V. You can use 110V, but you have to make a small adjustment inside the pump. It's no biggie, but it's important you know what you have.
One more thing: Don't use getting a new pump as an excuse to 'upgrade' in terms of HP. Assume that the previous installer knew what they were doing. Going for that 'extra 1/2 HP' might muck up your plans, even if it seems cheap to do. What you really care about is flow-through. Make sure that the Gallons per Hour (only calculable with a host of other information about your pool) will cycle through all your water every 8-10 hours your pump is on.
