For your perusal.

Yes. All separate pool pressure gauges are 1/4" MIP thread. Liquid filled, 0 - 30PSI like this is your best option...

Installing a new, different model/make pump almost always requires a replumb. Sometimes a major replumb. The reducer bushing might add 1/2" to the height of the socket of the union.

In terms we use, you are looking for a pump that will move 13 gallons/minute for $130.00 USD. You now move water initially through 1.25" then 1" pipe that then goes into 5/8" black irrigation tubing for solar after going through a tiny sand filter that has filter balls in it. If the equipment...

Probably a bunch of 5/16" head screws hold the cabinet together. That looks like a drywell for a temp probe. Something like here: https://www.poolheatingdepot.com/product/plastic-temp-well/

1.5" - 2" S x S reducer bushing glued into the union will allow for 1.5" pipe to be used as well.

Vinyl pool? If so, removing the gasket/faceplate while water is at that level will likely result in water behind the liner.

When it turns off, one of the error lights on the back of the board should light up. That is not the bad part, just an indication of what is happening. Sounds like you have an internal bypass issue or the thermal regulator is bad. If one is bad, replace both.

Not a B-4 (8.5"). More likely a B-26 that is 16.5" in diameter. International (International Balance Flow) pool skimmer that likely had an array of DE grids below the basket. If so, it is a plastic-coated wire basket that runs between $120.00 - $220.00 depending on who actually has it. They are...
