Learned something new this time around. I need to shade the pump/filter/control box. I remember several times the control enclosure getting on the hot side in the summer. And let it cool down between stop/starts.

Thanks for clarifying that. It is the thermistor. I will check out the options you mention, and appreciate the response.

We've had this house for 11 years pool was maybe a year old. Since then I've replaced the AquaRite board a couple times, replaced the varistor several times also. Seems like every 2 years the varistor hit's it's limit. Think I read somewhere they will take a couple surges before poofing. It...

Thanks for the reply, really. While we're in there, should the drive motor spin pretty free? I turned the plastic gear on the end took a bit of effort and could hear gears moving inside it.

Have gotten 2 full years on a S200 rebadged bought from Marina. Been looking into DYI impeller repair since mine had been getting slower then finally wouldn't pass the self test. My motor has motor model #s LXP1610219B0979, 52ZY24-50, 5500026. After searching, what I've done is follow the video...

Margaret hooked me up with a rebranded S200 for $699. Thank you TFP!

You know I think you're right. I'd be dropping another 350 in a new pump. Kinda sick of messing with pump motors at 64 years of age. I'm looking at the low end robotics like the Dolphin Proteus DX3. Any others I should look at in the low end? edit- After further research here, it seems the...

After owning our pool for 10 years, I've had to replace both the pump motors, 2 years ago I replaced the booster pump with the same unit, Polaris BP4-60. It started making a grinding noise right after the 1 year mark, made it through a start capacitor change before quitting altogether a few...

Thanks for the explanation. Any type I should avoid with a SWG system? The pump filter SWG is out in the open, I plan to build a little roof for all of it. It gets brutal in the long summers we have.

So the wife is wanting a pool heater to extend our swim times down here in Louisiana. Been reading up on them a bit but it's a little overwhelming. I figured I'd start by seeing how many gallons the pool has. It's kidney shaped, 18' wide 37' long, average depth 5.5'. I get somewhere around 20k...

30A fuses on 12AWG wires. My original thoughts were like yours, replace fuse board with CB board, or just get a new disconnect with with CB in it.

I saw someone post almost the exact problem earlier today, but didn't want to hijack his thread. My Goldline SWG system has a Pentair challenger pump 1 1/2 plumbing with a booster pump running off a 220 circuit with a disconnect then a Intermatic 220 timer box right by the pump. It's a fused...

So I'm having issues with my AquaRite r1.40 board or T cell-15. Pool is roughly 9 years, we bought the house 7 years ago. I've replaced the T-15 once, but can't remember how long ago, I seem to remember it being rather early on, commenting to the previous owner that it was a bit early, either...

I have done this repair, as FYI, you're going to need a high powered soldering station or gun to remove the old current limiter. I ordered 2 in case it pops again..
