    Pool heater installation, a DIY project?

    I have a 5 year old 300000btu pentair minimax NT that had a fire and burned the wires and some of the modules that control the heater. My first estimate to fix it was $3200 and a replacement cost of $4500-5000. I can get the heater delivered to my door for $2300. From looking at my old...

    whisperflo pump motor problems

    Again, thanks for your help. After removing the left handed screw in the center I tried hammering the pulley off. Your suggestion of simply unscrewing the thing was right on. It came off by simply unscrewing the impeller off the shaft. I can't thank you all enough for your help. It is the...
