Assistance with variable speed motor selection for AST125

I would like to replace my old non-efficient AST125 C55CXKTR-2129 motor with a new variable speed motor.

1: I’m not sure what flange type to buy.

2: V Green motors seem to be popular but would like input if there are other motors that are better for the price point.

3: Do I need a seal kit for the pump ? If so, I cant find any model info on the pump but I have posted pictures for reference.

Hello,

YEs the V-green is a good option. Nidek also makes a great motor. Could you please tell me what horsepower your current motor has?

Good morning Ryan, Thank you for reaching out to the forum. You would need the Gokit3 for that super pump by Hayward. As far as a motor you would need the UST1102. I hope this is helpful.
