    "-PCB-" error on Aquarite board

    That is what I did when I began to get the "cold" error a few months ago. It worked then and seems to work for this issue as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS

    I did take the cover off an removed the display board. Shot some compressed air and tried to make sure everything was connected well. Put it back together and while it's only been a few hours it seems to work at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Not sure how to add one, but I have a son-in-law that's an electrician. I'll ask/have him do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'ts been in since Friday of last week, Iwas pretty simple to install and to program! I think I picked a winner! The bad thing is I installed it Friday, and the next day left to visit family out of state so I asked a family member to keep an eye on it make sure its running fine etc. I got home...

    Should I see air pocket on top of strainer cover

    I recently installed the "Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS" and I'm noticing that I see air accumulating at the top of the strainer cover. It goes away at higher speeds but returns at lower speeds. My old pump was not variable speed so I didn't see air in cover after about a minute of starting...

    Just added variable speed pump

    I'm about to leave for a week, and though my daughter and son in law will be around, I'd really like to just "set it and forget it" until I get back. Any recommendations on amount of time it should run at higher speeds? At speeds lower than 850 RPM my low flow light will come in so I set...

    Just added variable speed pump

    I just today added a Hayward max flow IS2393VSP2 on my SWG pool. I have the directions on how to program the timers but I don't have the knowledge on what times and at what speeds for the pump to run. Should it run 24/7 and at times a very low speed? Or 12 hours with various speeds- these...

    I just checked, and I do have 10 inches a straight pipe going into the pump as it is set up right now.

    Fittings and connectors

    One thing that helped me decide on this pump is thy according to the schematics it may not require any re-plumbing. It appears that the inlet and outlet are within 1/4 inch or so of my present setup. I won't know for sure until I get it in hand but it looks like it might work with little or...

    Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS

    I just ordered this to replace an aging and deteriorating sta-rite pump- I looked at reviews and they seemed pretty reliable and highly recommended. Does anyone have any experience with one of these?

    Fittings and connectors

    I very well should have said what I am putting in- its a Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo VS I am replacing an approximately 8 yr old sta-rite pump. The problem is that at least one of the bolts that is formed into the wet-side of the pump is both spinning free and also pulling through. This make it...

    Fittings and connectors

    I just ordered a new pump as my old one had a uncorrectible issue my question is: if I have to re-do some of the plumbing, does lowes or my local hardware store have the correct connections? I'm thinking more along the lines of the threaded connections that attach to the filter/pump

    Best vacuum Hose

    Hope this is in right area.. I'm looking for suggestions on a good quality 40+ ft vacuum hose. Mine keep breaking down at the skimmer and pinches together. I picked up a decent one at wallmart that seems to be rigid enough but it's only 30 feet and I need at least a 40ft one.

    Replacing pump motor and seal. Questions

    They were spade type connectors, I got it all put together and the O-ring on the seal plate was bad and when I put it together it leaked like a sprinkler! I got one on order from Amazon will be here Wednesday.

    Pump motor going out?!

    I'm in the process of replacing the motor right now? The pump seals are wrong size (for example the ceramic one is too small in outer diameter by a good bit) so I'm putting the old ones back in and hoping for the best, should they need leak and to be replaced I now know how to replace them with...

    Replacing pump motor and seal. Questions

    I don't have a gauge in the filter, I have it but haven't installed it- that's the next project- which leads me to a question I was going to ask when I did that but I'll ask it now instead. On on top of the filter housing where the gauge should go there is some sort of plug- it does leak some...

    Replacing pump motor and seal. Questions

    I did find a piece of plastic in the diffuser I think. Tha plastic looked like it came from an old basket screen. It was small and could have limited some water but I don't think it would cause such a decrease in output that I have noticed increasing this year. It seems that the output decrease...

    Pump motor going out?!

    Thanks Bobodaclown! Can you help me to help me understand a few things: If I go with the two-speed or variable speed pump, what is the advantage? What would make the pump/motor work at a slower speed? I undertsand that a slower speed means less electric consumption but I guess my question is...

    Pump motor going out?!

    Good Morning, I put a little more info in my Sig line. I appreciate ALL your input, I didn't know that i could get away with only replacing the motor and not the entire unit. The motor is about 7 yrs old (came with house) So I can just buy a new motor and leave the pump part itself as is?
