My 10-year-old navigator is giving me a run for my money. Wasn't turning or moving so I replaced the shoes, flaps, a-frames, turbine & turbine bearings. Didn't replace the legs (pods?). Suction seems fine. It shows initial promise, then just stops. Feet move fine & the unit turns freely when...

I guess getting a decade out of my Pentair isn't so bad after all. Anyone have any experience with PureLine LED's?

@ajw22 any suggestions?

well, that's one more off the list- making progress!

anybody?

My 10 year old Pentair IntelliBrite LED pool light failed last season. Keeps tripping the breaker so i assume the entire unit needs to be replaced. Amazon reviews seem to be unfavorable for the IntelliBrite. Anyone have a recommendation on a solid, budget friendly LED light? I don't care about...

seems easy enough- thanks!

good question- I was trying to avoid a ton of rewiring. i was told if would easily integrate with the existing timers. Open to ideas

My 2 speed Pentair pump finally kicked the bucket after almost 10 years & I'm replacing the motor with a V-Green 165 variable speed motor. Inyo has a great video on how to install, but one thing not covered that's unique to my set up is how to install the V-Green with my existing dual Intermatic...

I didn’t replace the switch- Inyo said I would need a new Pump b/c replacing the low speed switch was not an option. My low speed will still run so long as high is engaged 1st & then kicks down to low. So, I set my timer to run in that order. Have had no issues.

Inyo was great- looks like the internal switch is failing- you were right :D thanks for the reference.

switch? i think this is a switchless motor according the replacement motor description.

Hey gang- i'm at my wits end with this- hoping someone can help before i have to bite the bullet on a new motor. Here's the skinny: noticed my 7 year old pentair whisper flo WFDS-6 2 speed pump (# 011522) wouldn't turn on when low speed was engaged- pump just hummed. Once the high speed was...

Success!! thanks for all the assistance- replaced the shaft seal & now it's leak free. video was super helpful

sorry- i'm a noob. i was referring to the seals. thanks for the help- i'll get the new seals tomorrow and see if that helps

ok- so i don't need a new seal plate, just new gaskets?

Any idea how difficult/expensive the ceramic shaft seal is to replace? rubber gasket was a snap- this seems a bit more involved according to Pentair's manual.

did some more digging today. took pump assembly apart & replaced the "O" ring (called gasket in schematic). no help- leak still present. [attachment=1:1zv6rx0v]Screen Shot 2013-08-07 at 6.03.42 PM.png[/attachment:1zv6rx0v] leak seems to be coming from the bottom of the unit where the seal...

Here's a pic of the equipment. [attachment=0:3m1z94zf]IMG_0151_L.jpg[/attachment:3m1z94zf] the leak is coming from the pump closest to the filter. Immediately after running, water can be heard moving through the pump- some of which is leaking out.

I have a 1.5HP Pentair Whisper Flo 2 speed pump (WFDS-6 product # 011522) that seems to be leaking under the unit. On high speed water level in the filter basket is good, but once it's on low speed the water lever decreases. Water level in the filter tank drops as well whenever it runs on low...
