I've had a 1-1/2 HP (motor) circulating pump on my in ground pool. It
was replaced a little over a year ago and now I can once again hear a
bearing getting ready to go. Rather than rely on the pool maintenance
company's recommendation, I thought I'd check this forum. Anyone have
first hand knowledge and willing to recommend a brand?

Just how "getting ready to go" is the bearing, after one year?

The motors are usually robust and would not fail in 1 year.
Is the pump exposed to the weather?
Perhaps you are hearing noises from the pump [pump seal?] as opposed to the
motor.
Any water leaking from the pump/motor joint area on start up?

I agree they should not fail but facts are facts. It is exposed but
designed for that. It is the motor. No water leaking.
