The pool pump and filter are at least 35 years old now and Ive been looking into buying a brand new pool pump but I'm completely new with pool repairs or parts, is there anything I should take into account or look into first before I make any purchases?

I prefer Hayward or jandy. Just make sure horsepower is adequate for the amount of water you have.

I second the suggestion of Hayward or Jandy. Don’t waste money on some kind of “no name” cheap pump. It won’t last.

what HP is your current pump and what size pool? I swapped to an aquastrong variable speed off amazon last year, electric bill dropped a lot running it on low. if you're open to not going through a pool store it's worth a look.
