What's the pump issue? It might be something simple that we can walk you through.

Long story short, prior thread, waterfall pump never started up this year, just got around to checking it out. Humming noise when switch turned on. Changed out capacitor, still didnt work. Tried getting back cover off to check if spindle seized, and noticed that the back cover is rusted out and has a hole in it. Assuming pump is shot and I need a new one. I don't mind doing it myself, but the YouTube videos I watched on it looked complex in terms of knowing which parts to get

A pump & motor assembly is easy to change if you have unions on both sides of the pump & replace it with same type of pump. Another option is take the motor & pump assembly to a pool store & get a quote to repair.

You could try to find someone in your area that does small motor repair. if that is not cost effective , sometimes they have used motors that they rebuilt, that you can get cheaper, or as mike said you can replace the entire motor yourself.
