Ok, so basically I need to buy from a store? Even this one would be an EC?

Pentair tries to limit the sale of products online, so it is confusing.
Technically, only products that start with EC are available online.
Some sellers sell online anyway or they ship a different pump than the one they advertise.

Oh wow. I guess that is why they are 400 cheaper. My local store can get one around tuesday of next week. It is 1699.00. I'm afraid that pool will turn green before I get a pump..haha
Just a question because I am cheap...lol. Is it worth just replacing the motor on this pump?

Definitely time for a new pool
I would switch to a new pump. What to get is difficult if there is no information on our current system. When I switch pumps I want to know the pool and plumbing size. What is the current equipment (Hayward and Pentair have trouble communicating sometimes). Some guys will no longer install single speeds due to the changes in regulations. The variable speed may be more upfront but will pay for itself in 16 months on enfeebled savings.
I got the Black and Decker 3hp variable speed from poolpartstogo.com. Been happy with it. It's got a good warranty on it too. If you search Google you can find a coupon for poolpartstogo.com and they offer free shipping. Plus most utility companies will give you a rebate for getting a variable speed. Think I was only out about $850 for it when it was all said and done.
