I'm with the other guys on this, I think your equipment is older than you've been told. I work at an RV park with lots of pool equipment (in Texas so lots of UV here too) and none of our stuff looks that old. Everything we have was installed 3 1/2 years ago too. Some fading on the stickers but...

Update: replaced the seal plate, shaft seal, and reduced the impeller to the 2hp version. Leak is fixed! Not a drop of water to be seen. I think the seal plate did it but believe the impeller was a good thing to change out in the long run. Hot tub filter's pressure is 25psi now. Thanks to James...

Okay that makes sense. I know keeping the pH lower keeps the calcium dissolved but I guess once the water evaporates it doesn't really matter what the pH was, the calcium gets left behind

For instance, say one were to have a waterpark in Texas and the waterpark runs off well water, so there is very high calcium hardness. And there are features in this waterpark such as sprayers, slides, etc. And the waterpark has a 1ft deep pool area enclosing everything. And the temperature in...

Showing the elements would definitely help

if you have high phosphates and high calcium you could have phosphate scale. Especially if you keep an eye on your pH.

Ah okay that seems like a good idea. That should move less water and have less pressure so this is less prone to happening again right? Also, do you think I should worry about the shaft seal? I thought for that to be an issue there would likely be a stream of water coming from underneath the...

Hey James thanks for all the information, the diagram will be a big help. I really do not know why they put such a large pump on the hot tub. It only circulates the water. There is a separate blower for the air jets. The hot tub is about 80ft or so from the pump so maybe that has something to do...

https://www.poolspanews.com/facilities/maintenance/calcium-phosphate-scale_o For anyone who’s interested in the heater scale issue, this article describes it pretty well. Wish I would’ve found this a couple years ago

I think the seal plate replacement is a good idea. So you think the rusted motor housing is from a shaft seal leak? I could give replacing that a shot. I don’t think the heaters were from using tablets as we use tablets for less than half of our chlorination. Most of the time we use liquid...

Thanks! So the pump circulates a 2500 gallon hot tub at an RV park here and the whole facility is about 4 years old (pump included). As to your questions, the only time I'm aware of it running dry has been every morning when we hook up the vacuum hose, the pump has to work through the air in...

Hello, Having trouble with a leaking hot tub pump. Model is a Pentair WhisperfloXF with a model #XFE-12. Its spraying upward from where the seal plate meets the pump housing. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I've replaced the seal plate o-ring and the diffuser o-ring and it's still spraying...
