I'm lost on this, hence the post. :P Our WhisperFlo 1hp pump had a small amt. of air it was pumping in. Then it failed to pump. It wouldn't prime, even when I garden-hose pressurized the overflow opening. The impeller was cracked. The diffuser o-ring had pulled out of it's area a bit and...

our 15x30 oval has 3 return jets fed by a single pump (it's slightly oversize in h.p. I think and I'll post model later, but it's not unlike the below picture, but in tan) http://img2.wfrcdn.com/lf/49/hash/17571 ... d-Pool.jpg We're all algae'd up. We need to keep up on cleaning, but we've...

The timer for the main pump on our pool stopped running. The local store I frequent carries them and I picked up a new motor (WG1573 Intermatic) which looks a lot like this: http://images.drillspot.com/pimages/9120/912069_600.jpg Except: the old one lacks a fiber sleeve around the copper...

I'd like a bit of help with diagnosis. The pool is green at the moment which I'm going to treat but let's ignore that for the moment. The filter has been in service just shy of 13 months. Sand at the exit of the backwash plumbing (it's hard plumbed to the front yard) has been building. Because...

Don't search my old threads to see how long I've meant to do this. :oops: The fitting on the side of our pool... used to be plumbed for a pressure cleaner. I'm changing it from the below to a 1.5" at pool to 2" to the filter so it can be used for vaccuumw/ a baracuda. I assembled a 45...

I just finished a good bit of work on our pool. Replaced the filter w/ a Hayward S244T2, I poured a new 2'x3' pad about 10' away from the old location (further out of view from the porch) I plumbed the overflow into a T so I could add a line to the side of the pool later for the baracuda vac...

it's new filter time. (I pulled it apart and a lateral had come loose; it's not worth $200 in stuff when an all new filter is $400.) I'm going to move the filter & pump about 10 feet towards the back of the yard. I'll try and add pics later today. The main things I'm going to have to do are...

Is anyone familiar with these parts? I come to understand they are antiquated from the local "tells the truth / doesn't try and sell you chemicals every visit" supply store. They said the new parts use different pipe thread sizes as well so the new can't be readily retro-fit to my sand filter...

Yes, I know the subject makes me sound like a lazy pool owner. Maybe I'm not because I want to tackle this job myself! Our pool is a 4.5 x 9metre oval w/ diving well. Close to the centre of the lengthy side of it is a fitting. It was previously routed up to a secondary pump. I am told it was...
