I think the ONGA's arnt too bad a pump, they're all much of a muchness these days. Davey's are another good pump too, dont mind them either. They are also Australian made/owned by memory.
Parts are also
readily available from most pool shops.
Buying a new one would be another option, depending which one you get you can get 2 or 3 year warranties on ONGA's now. Not a crummy 12months like those cheap *** Chinese and Korean Pumps.
To get a replacement pump your probly looking anywhere from $3-500 depending where you go. See
http://poolshop.com.au/category5_1.htm has a listing pumps and prices.
Best off just seeing/calling a few of your local poolshops.
Otherwise you can just fix the one you have, might cost you $50-70 in parts.
You might also want to get some lube for the O-Rings on your pump body too.
