    Pump Seal Part Numbers: Are these Interchangeable

    I looked at the US Seal cross-reference guide to look up which Viton seal I should order for my Sta-Rite PE6E6-206L pump. The guide showed part number PS-201V-CMS. I ordered the part from Inyo Pools and they sent me a PS-3868. When I looked at their site to verify I ordered correctly, I noticed...

    Spa Booster Pump single speed Max-E-Pro Moter needs to be replaced - is VS my only option now in CA?

    I know there are energy savings with Variable Speed (VS) motors but I'm pretty sure the purpose of the Spa Booster pump is to run at a single speed (3450). Does it make sense to replace it with a VS motor if I'm just going to set it to a single speed? I suppose I could take advantage of the...

    Replacement Blower for Bubbler Feature

    I currently have a Polaris QT blower from 2008 that pushes air for a bubbler feature in the pool. The motor works but the plastic brackets that hold it in place have broken which causes the motor to shift up and break the seal that allows it to push air into the pipe. The same thing happened...

    Pool Cover for the CA Drought (ameba shaped pool)

    I considered a bubble solar cover, but I'm concerned the additional heat would cause faster evaporation. Is there anything out there that helps reduce evaporation without adding too much heat?

That's pretty clear. My question is about the position of a jumper (JMP3) on the heater's conrol board. It's shown in...

    EasyTouch will not keep time.

    I'd like to know if you ever resolved this. I have an EasyTouch 8 from 2008/2009. The time seems to drift and the date/year always drift or jump to the past. For example, I manually updated the date and time about a week ago and as I write this (see my post date) the clock setting says it's SAT...

    Pump Motor Replacement Options (Other than Century)

    I just replaced the motor, impeller and diffuser on a Sta-Rite Max E Pro 2HP pump (PE6EG-208L). The original pump/motor was very quiet for 9 years (until it started to fail). The motor I ordered was a USQ1202 made by Century (formerly AO Smith). The original Motor has A.O. Smith written on it...

    Waterfall Plumbing Issue - Under Stone Coping and Concrete Decking

    I have water bubbling out of the expansion joint between the stone coping and concrete deck when I turn on the waterfall feature. The pool was installed in 2008 so it's nine years old (I don't think this is covered by a warranty). 1) What kind of contractor would I hire to handle this type of...
