I went to my local Gorman Distributor and could only get the PS-201 and they still believe their Pentair to US Seal cross reference, saying it is directly from a Pentiar database. So they say the Pentair 17351-0101s seal crosses to a saltwater grade PS-3868 . So I sent an email to Pentair. I...

Wow, you are treasure of info.

Thanks so much for doing this research on the Pentair website. I did the same only used Pool web website and it differs on the before Aug. 2015, showing the 37400-0028s . This what my original manual shows as well. See link, Pentair IntellifloXF Variable Speed Pump - Replacement Parts -...

That is what my manual says and I think your right. One change as my memory (or lack of) reminded me is my pump was purchased 1/2015, but had a warranty repair 1/2017 due to a bearing going bad. A new motor was installed (post Aug. 2015) where a 17351-0101S is called for. Below is an email I...

Thanks so much for commenting. I did most of what you mentioned except the rubbing alcohol. I used the PS-3868. This was crossed from the Pentair p/n at the distributor and could have been wrong for this XF pump. I will be getting the manual from my office later to see what it calls for and...

Hi. My Pentair Intelliflo XF was leaking at the base where the motor meets the pump a few weeks ago. I replaced the shaft seal, diffuser and main o-rings. After, no leaking, then about a week to 10 days goes by and the leak is back. When replacing the shaft seal, the old one did not look...

Thanks all for your responses. I think a custom table with stealing some good info from the Hayward guide will work great.

Hi, I want to make a paper (computer will not be available) guide for adding chemicals specific to my pool gallon's. It needs to include tables for FC, TA, PH, etc that will guide in the amount of Chlorine, Acid, bio-carb to add to the pool. This will be for a employee that needs to be as...

Anyone have experience with any other lower cost maintenance additives such HTH metal control, ProTeam's Metal Magic or others? Preferable something supplied in much larger containers. Probably going to use Jack's in 5 Gallon containers, but I need to do some due diligence. Thanks

Thanks JasonLion

I have a 34,000 commercial pool that services 13 units. Our towns water is full of rust and won't get corrected for years. Per stain tests and a major stain treatment, we, including Jack's Magic technicians (via phone consultation) that iron staining is going to be an ongoing problem. I want...

Thanks for your help and advise. I will try the SS coupling for the water bonding, tie it to my heater and pump casing, possibly rebar to the pool deck. Do you think tying in into the copper water line that goes underground and/or a grounding rod would be wise or not. Again I appreciate the...

Your advise is inline with what I have been thinking. But the copper water supply line isn't feed directly to the pool it empties from a garden hose valve above the surge tank water.

Water bonds below are some possible solutions. Maybe this tied to an earth ground?? www.cmiwebsite.com/html/stray_voltage__ ... nding.html waterbonder.com/

This is a 240V motor. I will check some ground and neutral connections between the panel and pump, but I have seen a stray voltage in other areas of the building and its not practical to debug the entire building at this point. In May/June I am having my entire feed, meters and panels...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin About six weeks after the change everything is working fine and no excess noise. Thanks again to all that posted.

Yes power was off at a switch for pump.

[Split by moderator (jblizzle) from electrical-shock-from-my-pool-water-t48616.html] Hi to all that have been replying to this post. Not sure if this should be a new post or not. I have a similar problem, only my shocks are only at the water when reaching in to clean the basket. It has...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin Thanks, Pool noise problem solved. All eyeballs in. Motor is 3/4 HP with 1.27 SF, 3450 RPM, Pool Motor 1081. Not sure if this is a full rated or not. I thought 1/2 HP would be best as well, but three separate people told me to...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin Update. I purchased and installed a 3/4 HP WF motor. Worked great for a few minutes until, it stopped. I could hear a trip relay, after the motor cooled a bit it would restart (probably thermal overload). I have read the likely...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin Does it make sense to replace the motor with maybe a 1/2 hp and run it 24/7 due to the very restricted suction line flow parameter? Maybe a variable speed? Can any of these be fitted on the existing WF24 WhisperFlo or should it be a...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin A bit more info. The suction line is about 52 feet, 1.5 inch, 5 - 90 degree elbows, 1 - 45 degree elbows. The WhisperFlo is a PMP WF24 that has a 1.25 HP service factor and the manual indicates a Curve Key F (I'm trying to figure...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin In terms of the basket being full, water fills the basket area up to the top sight window with 2 air bubbles, one at the very top where the lid has a round slotted area about inch in diameter and the other in one of the slotted areas...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin I forgot. The replacement impeller was the same Pentiar replacement part.

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin The history. Bought the house about 10 years ago. Replaced a working pump about 4 years ago because it was too loud with the WhisperFlo hoping for a quiet pump. It was quieter, but not nearly as quiet as I expected. It...

Re: Loud Whisper-flow -yet replaced motor, impeller, bearin The basket does fill with water. The flow seems OK, (no flow meter on the pipes though).

I have an about a 15k gallon pool. Someone previous eliminated the drain. There are no valves, only one 1.5 inch suction line from the skimmer (about 40 feet), a Hayward standard 80 cartridge filter and a 1.5 inch return line that leads in some fashion to 3 return outlets. This is in Florida...

Re: Need Advise on rebuild or replace 2.5 HP Northstar Haywa Sorry about not posting earlier on my outcome. I decided to get a a new motor which was a monster to install due to the entire pump / motor heated up due to the motor eventually ceasing up. Getting the impeller off was a bear...

Re: Need Advise on rebuild or replace 2.5 HP Northstar Haywa Dave J. Thanks for the good advise.

Hi, First, thanks for all that reads this post... I have a commercial pool (13 vacation rental units use it) in FL, used 24/7 year round. It has a drip edge, about 40K gallons, surge tank, 2.5 inch pipe to the pump (very old). The pump is a Hayward SP4020X25NS 2.5 HP Northstar pump about...
