More than the motor it is probally a bad seal causing the problem with the motor. All you can do is be sure it is installed right when you put the new one in and if you see water under the pump take it apart and install a new one. I live in AZ and the water will evaporate before it gets to the ground under the pump so here this can be a real annoying problem. We quite often will have to look for calcium left behind when something leaks.

Three pvc pipes coming into an max i flo pool pump should all three valves be open to run the pump?

Here is a link for the users manual for these pool pumps. You should be able to not only see a diagram, but also read all about which valves should be open and which closed.

Max-flo II pump leaking at top (discharge) fitting. Removed and re-taped but still leaks? Can pipe dope be used, would that be better?

Tape usually works better. Permatex sells a product that works well. If you put ten (10) turns of tape you should be okay

The motor may have blown the start capacitor. It is the black cylinder about 1-1/2" dia x 2-1/2" long. Look at the end with the wires for a small hole. Is it blackened or have a hole blown thru? If so replace it. Otherwise have a local electric motor repair shop look at it for possible repair or replacement.

Pumps Capacity?

# Aboveground filter systems and small inground pools (under 10,000 gals) should use a Low Head pump like a Maxim, or Dynamo or Power-Flo. # Pools from 10,000-20,000 gals can use a Medium Head pump like a SuperPump, a Pinnacle or Cygnet. # Pools over 20,000 gals could possibly use the High Head pumps like, Super II, Challenger, Ultra-Flo or the Sta-Rite pumps. # Pool/ Spa combos with at least 3 lines influent and 2 - 3 back to the pool, 2" plumbing may be able to handle the Ultra High Head pumps like NorthStar and the WhisperFlo
