Replace motor or entire pump?

Pool Equipment
1

Look for some advise on what to do with this pump. Just the other week it started making a real high pitch noise while running. Been in the house a year and a have and have no history on the pool equipment. Actually had the liner replaced this past summer.

The pump is exposed to the elements in South Alabama. I intend to cover it here shortly. The stickers on the pumps are extremely faded but I’ll add what I can here. I know the pool is about 25000 gal but I couldn’t tell what the plumbing is like to calculate what pump I’d need.

Pump Model _ _ _ A5D-12OL. First three may be P2R What I can tell is it is a Sta-rige Dura-Glas

Motor is not original: U.S. Motor 1081 Pool Motor

Cat No. EUSQ1102

Model No. C55CXKLS-5006

H.P. 1

S.F. 1.25

HZ 60

RPM 3450

I’m not sure if any other info is needed but with these pictures is it worth while replacing the motor or the complete pump and which one for either

Lets try a different question… what variable speed pump would be a good replacement for this pump?

It looks like the pump is in good shape. You could replace the existing single-speed motor with a variable speed. The variable speed option would be Century model ECM16SQU. Click Here to View the ECM16SQU

We have a seal kit that will work on Dura-Glas models manufactured since 1998. It will work on older models if the metal cone is removed from the seal plate. The seal kit is part number GOKIT54.
