Hi Everyone, I’m new to the Tub world and have been thrown right into the muck. I picked up a used/old tub and one pump is acting up. I’ve already replaced impeller, wet end seals, plugs, and cleaned the shaft but now it’s making a tapping sound. I’m not sure if it’s the wear ring rattling in the housing or what (it previously fused to the faceplate and I had to separate and sand). (Does a wear ring even rattle or would it be something else?) Anyway I figured getting a new/used pump would be worth it since these are so old.
There are lots of searches asking if higher HP motors are fine but what about lower? My pump says 3HP but one that I have access to is 2HP. Will this be ok?
BTW, I have a 2009 Saratoga Grand. Yes, old.
