heh If I'm reading correctly it looks like the board on the Pentair VS
is about $650.

The board is called a "drive kit"?

That's what it looks like on the blow-up. Part # 28. Price seems about
right to me.

I'm ruling out a VS motor for a long timeG



It looks like poolpartsonline.com has one but I understand your concern.

I just replaced my pool pump and built a shed around my pool equipment.
I don't think I'd put that expensive VS pump out exposed out in the weather.

I'll probably look into VS speed when this pump goes out but I'm going
to do my homework first.
