    Why not just get on the net and order a pump on-line, some of the places have next day shipping. You should easily be able to replace a pump yourself - it takes almost no skills. Just be sure to kill the power and connect the new one just the way the old one was hooked up. You will save money doing your self and be back in business quicker too.

    I wanted to upgrade to from a single speed pump to a two speed to save some energy costs....are they wired the same way? I'm handy - but electricity is something I ususally leave to professionals. That being said, I do have an electrician, is this something I could have him do? I've never done any of the plumbing before - how complex is this?

    If you are handy it will be an easy job . The only dillema may be where the inlet and outlet of the new pump are in relationship to the existing plumbing . Its not anything a few trips to Lowe's can't fix . I believe the 2 speed pump is wired the same , the speed control is done internally.
