They have added a lot of surface pad to the board since the old pictures I saw, so it takes a good bit of heat to get the part off the board and a new part in. I used a solder sucker, then finished up with desoldering braid. But you will need some heat to get to it. I used a 150 watt soldering...

Last year I used the AS series 500-900 Joules.. I think OEM SL series is 260 Joules Well I went to the MS (Mega Series) part this year (900 Joules across the board). Supposed to be more rugged and handle higher inrush current. Hopefully I won't be back here again next year with another part...

First off I'm a little ticked at Hayward/GoldLine for continuing production of such a fault prone design. From the number of people complaining about this, the only justification I can give for this is that they love to sell those $400 boards as a result of their ****** design. So they have no...

I think I'm reasonably OK on grounding as only one of the original bolts in the stand broke. If there is a one piece jig that tied the original three bolts together, the remaining two bolts should be on the same electrical plane as before. If the original installation did not ground the diving...

Are you referring to the ground plane bonding? Or just the support provided by the original mounting jig?

Forgive me, but bonding?

OK, so I drilled 6 more holes under the base and mounted them with 4.25" Red Head expansion anchors.... Will let everyone know if they fail...

Ok, after finding the leak the theory was validated. I was going through about a bag of salt every week or two. After sealing the hole in the pool, whenI add more water to make up for evaporation, it does not affect my salt level in my pool...

Ok, my SR Smith Flyte Deck base cracked in the back. It appears that it was due to the original installer not installing fender washers. As a result the nuts/lockwashers on the board finally came through the stand. While soaking the stand nuts with penetrating fluid (very very rusted) and...

Interesting question. I'm about to do a bucket test because my pool is loosing about an inch of water a day. Since my salt levels keep going down if I continue to add water, and the salt generator has been off for a month or more, I'm feeling pretty confident that my pool is leaking. My...

Mine failed in a similar fashion. It got progressively louder over a period of 2 weeks, then last night at 3:30am I was laying in bed listening to the pump and debating whether or not I should start looking for another one, and it suddenly got about 3 times louder. I had to go shut it off so the...

Hope this helps, I'm very interested in the results myself as the 1st pump just failed last night and I need to find a replacement.

Is anyone aware of any other electronic timers for two speed pumps out there other than the Intermatic P1352ME and the Tightwatt? I would really like a timer that has a weekend/weekday schedule. It does not look like the Intermatic understands days, but I may be wrong...

Anyone have any preferences/info on these? I'm trying to decide which to wire up to a 2 speed pump with Salt Generator combo that will run year round in the southern US.

I really do appreciate your help with this! I'm trying to get better info, on the web, but the pump motor is a A.O. Smith CXPM Two-Speed 230Volt 1.5/.25 HP motor. If you look on page 65 of the PDF attached to this link you will see it refer to wiring diagram 167201 connection label 167200. A...
