I had to work after Church, on Wifeys pool. Removed/ Cut the 30yr old pump out of the circuit, and cleaned up around it a bit. Surprisingly enough the Other brand pump I bought as a replacement has all the same dimensions for hook up. Had to sawzall the tubes tho and will have to re-plumb it all. Maybe mount a junction box, so it will be easier in the future to change motors/pumps. Momma's happy tho.. Thats what counts !!
