Part readings, priced apart by frame
| Failed part row | Frame A reading | Frame B reading |
|---|---|---|
| Motor row | $200-$500 repair band | $655-$1,200 complete motor total |
| Shaft seal row | $100-$250 replacement band | $160-$400 seal assembly total |
| Impeller row | $120-$300 repair band | $145-$245 build-up total |
| Capacitor and electrical row | $100-$250 electrical band | $70-$120 capacitor total |
| Bearings row | $150-$350 replacement band | $320-$600 build-up total |
| Leak and fitting row | $120-$350 leak band | no build-up row by that name |
Each reading is one frame counting of one failed part, never blended across parts or frames. Rows absent in one frame are printed as absent, never filled from the other.
Motor and seal rows, priced apart
| Row | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Motor replacement row | Frame A | $350-$700 |
| Complete motor part row | Frame B | $400-$800 part, $655-$1,200 total |
| Seal assembly row, 1-2 labor hours | Frame B | $75-$150 part, $160-$400 total |
The Frame A motor replacement row is a repair-visit row -- the motor changed inside the standing pump on one visit -- never the replacement hub row, which prices a whole new pump.
The impeller, capacitor, bearing, and leak rows, priced apart
| Row | Frame | 2026 reading |
|---|---|---|
| Impeller repair row | Frame A | $120-$300 |
| Impeller row, 1 labor hour | Frame B | $60-$120 part, $145-$245 total |
| Capacitor row, 0.5 labor hour | Frame B | $25-$60 part, $70-$120 total |
| Electrical repairs row, capacitors inside it | Frame A | $100-$250 |
| Bearing replacement row | Frame A | $150-$350 |
| Motor bearings row, 2-3 labor hours | Frame B | $150-$300 part, $320-$600 total |
| Bearing read | HomeGuide, beside the frames | $40-$160 |
The bearing stands counted three ways here. The frames count the same job on different bases -- flat repair-type bands in Frame A (motor repair at $200-$500, repairs overall at $100-$700) against a part-plus-labor build-up in Frame B (a capacitor at $70-$120 in total, a complete motor at $655-$1,200 in total). The bearing line is counted three ways across the frames -- $150-$350 in Frame A, $320-$600 in the Frame B build-up, and $40-$160 in the HomeGuide read beside them -- named as frame differences on every page, never averaged.
The neighbours named apart
Pump form readings price apart on the companion guide. Named apart, never a row here: the pool pump replacement hub (a new pump going in, its own field), the standing pool pump repair vs replacement guide (its own field -- this cluster carries no repair-vs-replacement guide of its own), pool heaters, pool filters, and whole-pool renovation tickets, each in its own lane.

Frequently asked questions
What does pool pump repair cost by part, as reported?
Frame A prices the seal at $100 to $250, the impeller repair at $120 to $300, and the motor repair at $200 to $500. Frame B prices build-up totals instead: a capacitor at $70 to $120 and a complete motor at $655 to $1,200.
What do the motor rows print at, as reported?
Frame A prints motor repair at $200 to $500 and motor replacement at $350 to $700 on the single visit. Frame B prints the complete motor at $655 to $1,200 in total, beside motor bearings at $320 to $600 in total.
What does the shaft seal row print at, as reported?
Frame A prints seal replacement at $100 to $250 as a flat band. Frame B prints the seal assembly at $160 to $400 in total -- the same visit counted two ways.
What does the bearing row print at, as reported?
Three readings stand apart: Frame A at $150 to $350, the Frame B build-up at $320 to $600 in total, and the HomeGuide read at $40 to $160. The capacitor row beside them prints at $70 to $120 in total in Frame B.
Is a motor row the same purchase as a new pump on the replacement hub?
No. Each row prices one failed part in one repair visit, off a $200 to $500 motor repair band. The replacement hub, the standing decision guide, pool heaters, and pool filters sit in their own lanes, named apart.
