    Pool Pump Pressure Low - Water Stream Weak

    I someone is at their PC today; It's a beautiful day in Grand Rapids.

    Rebuilding pumps is rarely worthwhile. The cost is comparable to what a replacement will be and a new pump will easily outlast a repaired old pump.

    If you have an expensive, good quality model of pump that has a wet end and a dry end you may be able to replace the motor end and keep the wet end saving a few dollars.
