    Pump motor literally went up in smoke

    I believe it's okay in this application for about 4 days of use? This floater has never had any other tablets in it. I am not concerned about calcium as this 15+ year old plaster pool eats calcium for breakfast.

    Pump motor literally went up in smoke

    EVQ165 is the model I got. And yea, that's what I was gathering --- I just wouldn't use the one timer anymore. I just want to make sure I understand which wires I need to go where old motor compared to new motor.

    Pump motor literally went up in smoke

    Pump motor literally went up in smoke

    Thanks! I had actually found the ECM16SQU as well through some of my searching over the last hour. Is the only difference between the ECM16SQU and EPA16SQ the color? Just seems weird to have such a different model number for just a color change. Also, what about the seal?

    When is it time to resurface your plaster?

    Thanks for the replies. I definitely don't think it leaks. I can go weeks without adding water and any time the water is low it's explainable. Chemically it's pretty normal too. The only odd thing is I tend to use a lot of Calcium throughout the season. @anthonypool89 what product did you...
