The pump motor for my Polaris is constantly corroding. I have the ground wire connected to the housing but it is literally crumbling. Not the first time. Should I run the wire to both of the aluminum ends of the housing. Only the pump end is dying. Though the other end is, but not nearly as...

It's been a rough year here at RoseHaven!! Got the pumping problem repaired. Yesterday, as I was getting a lot of sand in the pool, I took apart the filter and the vertical pipe was broken. I repaired that with pvc and am pumping again now. But, my cell is dead. It lasted about five years...
