    Sorry, got busy. Just wanted to thank you for the help. It was the pump, the pb replaced. I have a VSP for pool, that pump is only used for slide.

    Pentair Whisperflo Pump (WTEF-4) Stopped Working

    The cap was not charged so the windings are probably good. I can try and measure capacitance on starter cap now that I have it disconnected.

    Pentair Whisperflo Pump (WTEF-4) Stopped Working

    I'm getting 243 VAC measuring L1 to L2 (I'm assuming that's line to line) We've had pump for 2 years so I'm assuming not. Can I test the thermal cutout switch?

    Pentair Whisperflo Pump (WTEF-4) Stopped Working

    Top and inside of pump. No noise, only relay click when I use iaqualink panel or app. Last week I noticed I had to click on Rockfall button in app multiple times before it actually came on but I didn't think anything of it until now

    Pentair Whisperflo Pump (WTEF-4) Stopped Working

    I was using AC voltage detector. No reading when Rockslide relay off in iAqualink. When I enabled Rockslide in iAqualink I could detect AC voltage. I could actually hear the relay click when enabled.

    Pentair Whisperflo Pump (WTEF-4) Stopped Working

    I have a Pentair Whisperflo (single speed) for my slide that suddenly stopped working. It is controlled via iAqualink. When I turn on via the app of control panel I can hear the relay but the pump remains off. I verified that I have power at the breaker. I reset breaker but no luck. Any...

    Leaf stuck where it shouldn't be...

    Happy New Year! It finally stopped raining in SoCal so I decided to do some pool cleaning to include cleaning the pump baskets. When I cleaned the filter pump basket I noticed a leaf stuck where it shouldn't be (red arrow pointing to it in picture)...not sure what this part of the pump...

    Mustard Algae - SLAM?

    Although, I maintain my FC #'s and do not have CC > 0.5 ppm, we didn't use the pool for 2 weeks and found mustard algae (I think) on the steps/wall by jacuzzi. I removed the bubble cover, brushed the entire pool...it hasn't come back. I was planning on doing a SLAM, but I pass the 3 criteria...

    Friend Needs Help...

    Pool Math CSI vs Taylor Watergram Wheel

    Thanks. Sorry, saw some other posts related to this question after I posted. I will rely on pool math going forward and not worry about Watergram wheel. Before taking over and doing my own measurements the pH was always hovering around 8.0 and alkalinity was high...I started noticing a...

    Pool Math CSI vs Taylor Watergram Wheel

    I'm 3 months into pool ownership. After researching and finding this site I gained confidence to take care of my own pool. I realized no one else is going to be more invested than me so why pay someone else... so thanks for all the great information! My #'s are as follows: FC - 7.8 CC - 0 pH...
