@jazclrint did you end up installing the hotspot FPH system? how is it so far?

a year later, i am wondering if food safe mineral oil did the trick?

Years later, I was able to use this post to open up my equipment. Thank you so much.

Thank you. Are you saying I should not try to fill it in and get it working? The motor was in very good condition prior to this.

I wish i had read this post first :( https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/how-to-detach-motor-assembly-for-aquabot-turbo-t-jet.77484/

this thread (SOLVED: Repairing electric pump motor - Swimming pool.) says canola oil or dielectril oil. another thread (Aquabot Motor Autopsy) said mineral oil or compressor oil

hey all, i did a major mistake (i am not happy at myself) and in attempt to open up and find the internal spring of the directional flap valve of the aquabot turbot t-jet (to troubleshoot issue aquabot issue with only moving in one direction) i opened the motor assembly and an oil-like liquid...

any ideas on how i can test if the flap spring is the culprit here? thanks

of course. here are they are. i removed the ports so you can see the valve in there too.

thank you. i already had that and it is very useful.

I was using chatgpt to learn more about the flap and this is what it told me. "The impeller is responsible for generating the water flow that propels the robot forward, and it also creates a pressure differential that moves the directional flaps on the sides of the robot." i wonder how I can...

hi all, i have an older but up to this point very reliable aquabot turbo t-jet pool cleaner that is used about once a week in the summer and always removed from the pool and sprayed with clean water. recently it started giving me issues where it is only going forward and never backwards. I can...

I was pressing the pilot but it was not sparking. Let me take a look at the manual. Thanks!!!

Hi everyone. I have a pool with a natural gas heater that was likely never run for 10+ years. Model is laars lite 2. I never run it or tried to in the past. I opened it up the other day and I am wondering if anyone has any advice to get it running again. I turned the knob to pilot but it was not...

thanks everyone. the wet/dry vaccum indeed did not have enough power. i saw that when i pushed from the skimmer towards the pump, there was water that got out at the main drain (i could notice since things were clearer there). i will call a pool company to bring a cyclone blower. thanks!

thanks @JamesW. i am thinking of using a wet/dry vaccum to push the debris out. should i go from skimmer to pump or from pump to skimmer?

thank you @Jimrahbe. the water level in the skimmer is full and the door is not stuck. However, i don't see it filling up and emptying again...water flows, but slowly but this gave me another idea/thought. my pool guy had used a vacuum hose through the skimmer likely the day that this happened...

i forgot to mention. i put the pump on re-circulate (without the DE filter) and the fail to prime issue still exists. same behavior as above

hi all, i have a two speed pentair superflo pool pump that is failing to prime on high speed. if i set it to low speed everything seems to be working. However low speed won't work as well in terms of cleaning up the pool :( Troubleshooting steps i took already: 1. opened up the pump basket...

yep, @joshii that replied above created the goldmine of that review. i am well aware of the pros and cons of this solution and it would work well for my needs if i can find someone reliable to install it. The biggest problem people had is from bad installations

thanks! that's what i am doing as well. I am hoping some fellow TFP might give me a recommendation as well. I forgot to mention my wife likes our house a little cold with low humidity %. Given it is an older house and not super efficient, and the humidity and high temps in houston are pretty...
