I would like advice in selecting the right bearings for a pool pump motor.
About two years ago, the KBC Korea 6203D bearings that were removed were not the original bearings on this Max-e-Glas II pool pump with an AO Smith QC1102 square flange 48Y 1.0x1.65HP 240 volt single phase induction motor.
I had replaced the Korean 6203D bearings with USA NSK 6203V bearings, but even they didn't hold up as well as I would have liked.
The US Seal PS-201 pump seal was replaced in both instances, and no evidence of water leakage is apparent (no white crud on the bottom of the motor).
What bearings would you use that may hold up better under the circumstances?
