Our Polaris 9550 gave me the dreaded Err 02 when we pulled it out last week to drop in the pool after opening, so I've been waiting for the Polaris Freedom to be on sale again. It's on sale at Leslie's for 10% off, $1259, and qualifies for the $50 rebate because this is Leslie's "Polaris Days"...

Thank you for the insight. I do have a plumber's wrench I think might fit, I will try to take it apart this weekend and examine the threads on the bushing adapter. I may have messed up the existing teflon tape by turning it the wrong way initially.

Opened the pool last week and there's a small leak at the top of my Hayward pump. I turned the white fitting at the top clockwise and that was actually loosening it (I think, it got much worse when I did that) so I switched to clockwise and that slowed the leak back down but it still leaks...

I'm looking at a Hayward Tristar VS as a replacement. I think I could DIY this (Pool Co's are booked waaaay out and we want to swim!) but the electrical component has me hesitating. How do I tell what voltage wiring I have into my current pump to make sure I match the voltage settings needed to...

Need advice on replacement pump please. This season has been one thing after another and I'm ready to just throw money at the problem so it just works consistently, but hopefully not too much money. :p Current pump is a 1hp Hayward Super II, hooked to a Pentair Intellichlor and an Intermatic...

Thanks. I've called out an electrician because the pump alone caused it to trip again yesterday afternoon when it was dry out so will start with him looking at it before anything else.

Thanks for the info, I do think it's a GFCI CB, as there is a little yellow test button on it, and it was installed in 2014 when we had the whole panel all redone. It has been raining cats and dogs here for the last week so moisture is a possibility. Saturday morning when I came out to find it...

Well that's annoying, since we had an electrician out to redo this whole panel and update everything in 2014. I thought the intellichlor and pump being on the same circuit was purposeful since the SWG shouldn't run when the pump is off. ETA: I actually don't know if they are technically the same...

Strongly recommend the salt system! We have two little kids and it's been a life-saver when we don't have time to do a lot with our pool. We renovated our 40-something year old pool about 5 years ago. We wanted to add a beach entry or sun shelf in our existing pool footprint, or incorporate a...

Hi all - pool co pulled the cover Friday and added chems and fired up the equipment. Within 10 minutes the pump switched off and they told me the breaker in our panel had gone bad so I needed to replace. I went out and fiddled with it after they left and ended up unplugging the intellichlor and...
