That looks just like it. Has screws at 12:00 and 6:00 positions. Thanks!!

My pool light GFCI tripped due to water getting into the housing (which I'm glad it did work). The pool light appears to be quite old. All markings/labels are worn off. I want to replace with an LED light, and want to ensure I get the correct replacement. Should I not worry so much about the...

Went to bed last night, pool pump had been running 24/7 (has freeze sensor), water was fine. Woke up this morning and pool has a thin layer of ice. Pump won't turn on, ice present in the filter basket, so I know the water in the lines is frozen, or at least starting to freeze (it is 7 degrees...

Correct, backwashing, not backflow. Water level is good and weir is working correctly. There is a 3 way valve prior to the pump (could be an issue). Ugh. I do have a 2 speed pump. Issue is a problem with both speeds, but really bad with low speed. Haven't had this issue until recently, and...

I have a leak somewhere in my system, just struggling to find it. I have checked, rechecked, replaced, and lubed the O Ring at the strainer basket on the pump. I still get air in the strainer basket. When I put the system into backflow, the basket fills up and no air bubbles, but when in...

Finally got around to replacing the motor and installing the P1353. Here's my feedback: Positives: 1. Motor is super quiet and was fairly easy to replace. Good videos on inyopools.com on replacing motors and shaft seals. Recommend getting the new gaskets and make sure you have lube. 2. I...

True. I just thought convenience of one box would outweigh adding a third box, the additional conduit, and keeping three timers in sync, etc. etc. My concern more than programming is mechanical just works, forever, whereas there seems to be more that can go wrong with digital. Sent from my...

I haven't done it yet, but plan to soon. I'm now leaning towards using an Intermatic PE1353 and replacing both timers with 1 timer. For a motor, I'm thinking I'm going with a dual speed 1 HP full rate (1.65 SF) to replace my existing motor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cool. Thanks. I think I will probably just get a T106 timer and the motor without the timer. I'll just have 3 timers: pool pump on/off, high/low and booster pump. That's probably the easiest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone with thoughts on how to address a booster pump in this setup, if I switch to a dual speed with the digital timer? Is my only option to get a dual speed without the digital timer and get a second time for controlling the high and low speeds?

Something else just dawned on me from the follow up question and my response: Does the timer on the B2982T replace the pool pump timer completely, or does that just manage the 2 speeds? Am I getting rid of PF1120T as a result of getting the pump motor with the timer? Since the booster pump is...

The pool cleaner booster pump timer is wired into the load, so that the booster pump only runs when the pool pump is on. The timer itself doesn't control more than the pool pump. So, if I get a replacement motor with the 2 speed timer mounted on it, as long as I get one compatible with my...

I have a Pentair WF-26 1.5 HP pool pump, and the motor has seen better days. I'm beginning to look into replacing the motor, and based on what I've read in the threads, I should be ok switching from a single speed to a dual speed motor, as long as I change out the timer as well, correct? I've...

Hi All, I've been using the TFP method for a couple months now, and it is one of the best choices I've made, in regards to the pool. Every time I have people over swimming, they comment on how clear the pool is, they always ask if it is salt water (which it isn't) because it never smells of...

I usually get my parts from amazon.

Were you able to get the wheel adjusted? If you loosed the rear wheel axle screws some, you may be able to slide the wheel forward to engage the idler wheel. I also replaced the t-nut and spring on my idler wheel, and that helped. The plastic guide/clip is also needed, to keep the idler wheel...

Two of the wheels (front and single side) should be driven by a driveshaft, and therefore turn the same. The rear wheel is driven by front wheel connecting with the smaller wheel. I'm not following which of your wheels isn't turn in sync. If the ones driven by the driveshaft aren't turning in...

I had similar issues, and I've rebuilt a significant portion of my Polaris 280 for less than $200, over the last month. It was slow and didn't climb walls well, and upon inspection I noticed was that the teeth on the wheels were worn out, so I replace all 3 wheels, and put on new bearings. I...

I first noticed the algae around a couple of the returns. I've scrubbed the walls and floor and particularly around the returns. I did an overnight test and the FC didn't drop and CC was 0.5 this morning. I'm hoping it holds. Going to keep and eye on it and hope that my cc doesn't increase...

I pulled the light out, and YIKES!!, it looked nasty behind the fixture. http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w501/gonzodog_74/20160426_231944315_iOS_zpsh5mhbtwv.jpg http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w501/gonzodog_74/20160426_232253776_iOS_zpsbzqtwnqw.jpg That's what remained on the light...

I haven't looked behind the light as I have no idea how to get it out. I'll have to do a little research on how to get the light out. Pretty sure water movement is good, but I'll try the ping pong test. Thanks.

I just started the TFP method a week ago. First order of business was doing a SLAM as I had a small algae problem (water cloudy/teal greenish). Got through the SLAM, or so I thought. My OCT showed same FC in the morning as the previous night, CC was 0 and water was clear. I did a backwash...

Yay! SLAM is done. All 3 tests passed. On to the next steps... backwash... electrical repairs...and more polaris repairs... Thanks for all the help.

So, I've been SLAMming since Tuesday, pool looking good. Looks clear, but had a 2.0 ppm drop in the chlorine overnight, so still continuing to SLAM. Today was sunny, so I did another CYA test, this time outdoors. I did it a couple times and it seems that my CYA is 50, not 70. I know this is...

Ok. Gotcha. I already read that well detailed post, thanks for putting it together. Reason for doing the backwash is because my pressure is getting a bit high (25 - 30psi), when after the last backwash it was at 8-10 psi. We have a very large oak tree over the pool that drops tons of...

The plunger valve has "Lock" and "Open" settings, nothing else. I thought with backwash I'd have to replace DE as well. Was thinking I'd pull the grids out, hose them down, and do clean everything. The pool maintenance guy did 1 backwash in the 7 months I had him, so I'm sure it is way...
