    Which Timer for Hayward Super Pump 1.5 Single Speed ?

    Yes, the old motor is still in place... also, i have an uncle who's an electrical engineer who is going to install the new motor and timer for me. The breaker is in a box mounted outside by the pool equipment, and it is a double - so it should be 240 then. Which means i should order the...

    Which Timer for Hayward Super Pump 1.5 Single Speed ?

    I'm replacing the pump that's there now with the exact same model - so, it should be fine. However, how can I tell which way it is hooked up now ( 120 vs 240 ) ? I would really like to know so I can go ahead and order the timer so they can be installed at the same time.

    Which Timer for Hayward Super Pump 1.5 Single Speed ?

    So, why are there 2 voltage options listed on the pump? I'm guessing this means it can be connected via a 115 or 230 volt terminal, which would dictate which timer to get (101 vs 104) so I need to figure out which voltage is going to be used when installing the pump.

    Re: Replacing Pump & Filter and thinking of adding a timer (also, single vs dual spee Nah, after doing some preliminary research I think I'm going to stick with the BBB method. What I was thinking was adding a liquid chlorinator (or a bleach delivery system, if you will).

    Contact Cement vs. Water Proof Grease ?

    Need to replace the spider gasket on a Hayward Vari-Flo. When I picked the new gasket up at the local pool store the clerks all agreed that I should use contact cement when installing the new gasket (I say all because I questioned the first guy when he said this). I really don't like the idea...
