I went to my local Gorman Distributor and could only get the PS-201 and they still believe their Pentair to US Seal cross reference, saying it is directly from a Pentiar database. So they say the Pentair 17351-0101s seal crosses to a saltwater grade PS-3868 . So I sent an email to Pentair. I...

Wow, you are treasure of info.

Thanks so much for doing this research on the Pentair website. I did the same only used Pool web website and it differs on the before Aug. 2015, showing the 37400-0028s . This what my original manual shows as well. See link, Pentair IntellifloXF Variable Speed Pump - Replacement Parts -...

That is what my manual says and I think your right. One change as my memory (or lack of) reminded me is my pump was purchased 1/2015, but had a warranty repair 1/2017 due to a bearing going bad. A new motor was installed (post Aug. 2015) where a 17351-0101S is called for. Below is an email I...

Thanks so much for commenting. I did most of what you mentioned except the rubbing alcohol. I used the PS-3868. This was crossed from the Pentair p/n at the distributor and could have been wrong for this XF pump. I will be getting the manual from my office later to see what it calls for and...

Hi. My Pentair Intelliflo XF was leaking at the base where the motor meets the pump a few weeks ago. I replaced the shaft seal, diffuser and main o-rings. After, no leaking, then about a week to 10 days goes by and the leak is back. When replacing the shaft seal, the old one did not look...

Thanks all for your responses. I think a custom table with stealing some good info from the Hayward guide will work great.

Hi, I want to make a paper (computer will not be available) guide for adding chemicals specific to my pool gallon's. It needs to include tables for FC, TA, PH, etc that will guide in the amount of Chlorine, Acid, bio-carb to add to the pool. This will be for a employee that needs to be as...

Anyone have experience with any other lower cost maintenance additives such HTH metal control, ProTeam's Metal Magic or others? Preferable something supplied in much larger containers. Probably going to use Jack's in 5 Gallon containers, but I need to do some due diligence. Thanks

Thanks JasonLion

I have a 34,000 commercial pool that services 13 units. Our towns water is full of rust and won't get corrected for years. Per stain tests and a major stain treatment, we, including Jack's Magic technicians (via phone consultation) that iron staining is going to be an ongoing problem. I want...

Thanks for your help and advise. I will try the SS coupling for the water bonding, tie it to my heater and pump casing, possibly rebar to the pool deck. Do you think tying in into the copper water line that goes underground and/or a grounding rod would be wise or not. Again I appreciate the...

Your advise is inline with what I have been thinking. But the copper water supply line isn't feed directly to the pool it empties from a garden hose valve above the surge tank water.

Water bonds below are some possible solutions. Maybe this tied to an earth ground?? www.cmiwebsite.com/html/stray_voltage__ ... nding.html waterbonder.com/

This is a 240V motor. I will check some ground and neutral connections between the panel and pump, but I have seen a stray voltage in other areas of the building and its not practical to debug the entire building at this point. In May/June I am having my entire feed, meters and panels...
