I've had a 1-1/2 HP (motor) circulating pump on my in ground pool. It
was replaced a little over a year ago and now I can once again hear a

company's recommendation, I thought I'd check this forum. Anyone have
first hand knowledge and willing to recommend a brand?

Just how "getting ready to go" is the bearing, after one year?
About 219 hours to go.
