Too true, u/TyneyTyney. OP, save your self pennies and lose dollars to rebuild this if you can afford a Pentair Intelliflo VS. This WILL save you the cost of the pump within a year and a half and after that it will be paying you back for years and years of free service. http://smile.amazon.com/Pentair-011018-IntelliFlo-Performance-Horsepower/dp/B007E4VWNO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458757750&sr=8-1&keywords=Pentair+Intelliflo+VS
Awesome, I have no problem spending a little more for the Tristar or Intelliflo as long as the cost savings is there to support it.
Part of the installation our pool servicers offer is a configuration of the pump for best efficiency so they'll take care of the speeds for us.
The following pumps are all $25 dollars within each other in price.
TriStar 3202
Tristar 3200
EcoStar 3400
Pentair 011018
Which do I need? I have an old dial timer and plan on getting a hayward Aquanaut 200 as well..Will they be compatible?

I got two quotes for my pool and both pool guys, each with 40 years experience told me the same 1hp hayward pump. I'm not saying you guys don't know what you're talking about, because I know you do and that's why I posted this topic in the first place.
I'm just trying to understand why you guys are recommending a 3 horsepower pump that's more than twice the cost of the hayward.
I looked into the vitro clean instead of sand and that seems like an easy thing to do and something I'll be purchasing based on what I've read.
What Jandy or Pentair do you recommend and why do you recommend them over hayward?
I'm looking at the gulfstream for a few reasons;
