Notes

Pool pumps run many hours per week, so seals and bearings are common wear points. Repair is usually worth it for a noisy bearing, a failed capacitor, or a leaking seal if the motor windings are still healthy.

Replace if the motor is burnt out, the pump housing is cracked, or you've had repeated leaks and bearing failures. If the pump is older and energy costs matter, replacement can also be justified when efficiency gains offset the cost.
