Above ground pool pump replacement

I am not blue collar and not really great with mechanical stuff but I can follow instructions and youtube videos well. The most mechanical things ive ever done was change my break pads and rotors on my truck before.
With that being said, is replacing a 1.5 hp above ground water pump reasonable or are there any challenges I should consider? Decent price range to getting someone out here to deal with it instead?

Depends on how it’s set up but should be about as easy as it gets. Lower water level to below the hoses/skimmer. Detach the current hoses on the old pump and attach to the new pump. Plug it in. May be more of a challenge if it’s set up with PVC piping vs hoses. I’d imagine you’re gonna pay someone $2-300 to do it for you.

Is it a sand filter or just a regular filter? Still easy enough either way but sand is going to be heavy AF.
If it's hard plumbed it's much more difficult, if the pump is hardwired you'll have to do some wiring, but if it is just plug in, pretty straightforward.

Get your pool guy to do it?

It’s 3 wires and 2 pipes. Get a like replacement so you don’t have to redo the plumbing.
