I have a motor that used to run a pump that froze and cracked. I'm not sure what size.  It may be 3/4hp too.  I will have to look. If it will work you can have it real cheap. I don't think it makes any difference but I would check to see if the motor can be switched to run on a 220v circuit. Most can run either. If it is a newer motor it is as simple as flipping a switch on the motor and moving a wire from the neutral bar in your main box. It should be on a circuit by itself but may be on the same 110 circuit as your other electrical on the pier. If it is you may be able to split the circuit and use 220 for the pump and split a 110 for lights and outlets by adding a sub panel. I did this for my irrigation pump . I'm not sure if using 220 increases the torque though. What say you shortbus? Would he be better using 220?
