It is this motor: https://lesliespool.com/qc1102-square-flange-1hp-full-rated-48y-pump-motor-115-208-230v/627045.html purchased in 2017. The motor is used for Paramount PCC2000 Infloor Cleaning System. Thanks.

I have a pool motor that turns on but then turns off and trips the breaker. I replaced the capacitor but this did not fix the issue. I also reached inside and was able to freely spin the impeller. So is there anything else I can do to fix it or is the motor need replacement? Thanks for any help!

I am aware that high CSI results in scaling on the plates inside the SWG cell. This requires more frequent acid washing of the cell. Acid washing, I believe, starts to eat away the cell platings which eventually cause the cell to fail. Is the more frequent acid washings the ultimate cause of...

Here is the picture of the pipe. It is the horizontal PVC closest to the front. I intent to cut the pipe at the elbow on the right and redo the whole section from the elbow down to the infloor pump discharge port. You can see that the top of the pipe is darker and discolored from the sun beating...

I need to cut a section of PVC pipe off due to a leak and redo the plumbing with new couplings and pipe. However I need to attach a PVC coupling to a pipe that is faded. Is this an issue? Also for PVC Schedule 40 pipe, I am using the following: Oatey Purple Primer Oatey Medium Clear PVC Cement...

I have the LaMotte 7022 Test Kit. I am running out of the DPD Powder #1 used for the FAS-DPD Chlorine Test. I am having trouble finding replacement powder from LaMotte. However it appears that Taylor makes a FAS-DPD test using a powder called R-0870. Can I used Taylor R-0870 as a replacement...

I live in Phoenix and my filter, pumps and plumbing are all exposed. I'd like to put up some kind of cheap shelter over it. What kinds of shelter do people recommend? Thanks in advance!

My fill water pH=7.4 TA=130. That TA seems a bit high, especially if I want to add boric acid. I could add MA & aerate for a few weeks but I wonder if its just a losing battle since fill water is itself 130. Thanks for any insight.

Thanks for your response. I did read through the posts beforehand. But one thing I noted is that it was stated that TA needs to be low (~60ppm) before you can add boric acid. Mine is fairly high and it is high mostly because my Phoenix fill water has high TA. It sounds like it could take a...

Here are my readings: FC: 6 CC: 0 pH: 7.4 TA: 130 (Note that my fill water has the same pH and TA) CYA: ~70 Should I consider adding Boric Acid to my pool? If so, is 50 lbs a good amount? People report good benefits but need fairly low TA to add borates. But my TA will pretty much always be...

One thing I should reiterate again is that the filter pump and SWCG are controlled and programmed completely independently. I have no choice since my Jandy Automation cannot control my Pentair VS Pump. If I didn't run them both 24/7, then I would need to sync their start/stop times and even...

I will definitely keep an eye on it. My salt cell is transparent and I can see decent flow even at 1200rpm and low flow indicator is off. But the filter pressure is ~5PSI. I can even probably push it lower 1000rpm but I could run the risk of low flow detected or losing prime. My main question...

I have a programmable VS pump running the filter that is permanently powered. It is running 24/7. This is the VS Pump schedule: 0800 - 2200: 1200 rpm 2200 - 0200: 2900 rpm 0200 - 0800: 1500 rpm The SWCG is controlled by Jandy RS8 automation. But currently, I am running it 24/7. (Peak utility...

I have a test kit which measures CYA level using turbidity test. I find it hard to get a precise reading. Determining when the black dot disappears is subjective. Is the turbidity test really better than using CYA strips? Is there some better third way to measure CYA that I don't know about...
