knowledge of the people in this store is hit or miss...
I stopped in because my pool motor is making a racket. I had a picture of the label, showed them it's a 3/4 hp motor. it either needs a rebuild or replacement
they don't do rebuilds, so I ask for a price on a replacement. the guy brings out a 2 hp motor... and quotes me something like $450. he was pretty clueless, asking me what type of motor I wanted. umm... I showed you what I've got, why wouldn't you be able to tell me what I need to replace it? I sure don't need a 2hp motor to replace a 3/4 hp.
I know two-speed motors can be used in place of my single-speed and they're more efficient, so I ask him about that. He has to call a guy at another store to figure out what I need and how much it is.
like I said, hit or miss...
