    Replacement of Pool Light

    My pool light GFCI tripped due to water getting into the housing (which I'm glad it did work). The pool light appears to be quite old. All markings/labels are worn off. I want to replace with an LED light, and want to ensure I get the correct replacement. Should I not worry so much about the...

    Ugh!! Motor stopped and pool froze

    Went to bed last night, pool pump had been running 24/7 (has freeze sensor), water was fine. Woke up this morning and pool has a thin layer of ice. Pump won't turn on, ice present in the filter basket, so I know the water in the lines is frozen, or at least starting to freeze (it is 7 degrees...

    Air in strainer basket.

    Correct, backwashing, not backflow. Water level is good and weir is working correctly. There is a 3 way valve prior to the pump (could be an issue). Ugh. I do have a 2 speed pump. Issue is a problem with both speeds, but really bad with low speed. Haven't had this issue until recently, and...

    Air in strainer basket.

    I have a leak somewhere in my system, just struggling to find it. I have checked, rechecked, replaced, and lubed the O Ring at the strainer basket on the pump. I still get air in the strainer basket. When I put the system into backflow, the basket fills up and no air bubbles, but when in...

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    Finally got around to replacing the motor and installing the P1353. Here's my feedback: Positives: 1. Motor is super quiet and was fairly easy to replace. Good videos on inyopools.com on replacing motors and shaft seals. Recommend getting the new gaskets and make sure you have lube. 2. I...

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    True. I just thought convenience of one box would outweigh adding a third box, the additional conduit, and keeping three timers in sync, etc. etc. My concern more than programming is mechanical just works, forever, whereas there seems to be more that can go wrong with digital. Sent from my...

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    I haven't done it yet, but plan to soon. I'm now leaning towards using an Intermatic PE1353 and replacing both timers with 1 timer. For a motor, I'm thinking I'm going with a dual speed 1 HP full rate (1.65 SF) to replace my existing motor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    Cool. Thanks. I think I will probably just get a T106 timer and the motor without the timer. I'll just have 3 timers: pool pump on/off, high/low and booster pump. That's probably the easiest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    Anyone with thoughts on how to address a booster pump in this setup, if I switch to a dual speed with the digital timer? Is my only option to get a dual speed without the digital timer and get a second time for controlling the high and low speeds?

    Replacing a single speed pump motor with a dual speed motor

    Something else just dawned on me from the follow up question and my response: Does the timer on the B2982T replace the pool pump timer completely, or does that just manage the 2 speeds? Am I getting rid of PF1120T as a result of getting the pump motor with the timer? Since the booster pump is...
