Just picked up a new issue. A few seconds after the heater lights up, there are some clanging noises and the pipes rattle, then the heater stops heating. Guessing the issue is likely a broken bypass valve? I uploaded a video. I found this video, which seems similar.

Just woke up to a crack in the multi port valve that will need replacing (crack is at the little drain plug). I figure this is probably a hint that I should finally upgrade to a variable speed motor, new pump, and a SWCG. Pool is about 11,000 gallons. Wondering if anyone has any...

So on Monday morning my Century Centurion B2855 2 HP motor was super hot and not pumping. I turned off the power, after it cooled down I turned the power on and got the buzz sound and maybe after 20 seconds the buzz stops and the motor is hot. Assuming it was a capacitor issue, I headed over...

Hi- About 15 minutes after my pump came on this morning the GFCI breaker died again. I last replaced it almost 3 years ago in Sep 2019. I also replaced it in 2013 (as best as I can remember). Any idea what the normal lifespan is on these? The one that died is a Cutler Hammer GFTCB220 20 Amp...

So my pump developed a leak last week. Thanks to TFP - I'm 95% confident I need to replace the pump shaft seal. Threads like this really helped... :) I'm reasonably confident this is a Pentair Challenger series. Greatly appreciate if someone can confirm and give me some pointers on buying a...

I’ve got a 5 year old Starite SR200NA and I’m getting the E05 error. I’m guessing the control board in this is similar to the Pentair Mastertemp. I pulled the SFS and it looks fine. When the unit comes on and the burner starts I get temperature readings for anywhere from 30 seconds to 2...

Ok, so my pump has been losing prime for a while, but it started to get really bad a couple months ago. Since then I have fixed a few obvious pump area leaks: gasket on junk catcher basket (+lubed), spider gasket on multi-port, o-rings on the two three way jandy valves, the run of 2" PVC pipe...

Hi everyone- I have two pressure side leaks and what to double check with you guys to make sure I do the right things to fix them. The first leak is where the pump outflow connects to the pipe work (pic1 and pic 2). Basically, when the pump is on there is continuous dripping out this...

I was just wondering what pressure people's DE filters run at? I'm guessing mine might be a bit high... Pentair FNS60 - after opening up and cleaning grids ~24 psi. After a few week it's usually at ~30 psi and backwashing only ever brings me back to ~28 psi.

I moved into an old house about a year ago that has a 30 year old pool. Well, towards the end of last season (late October), the light in the pool died. Well not so much the light, but turning the light on trips the breaker. I had the pool repair guy out a couple weeks ago to look at several...

I've been reading this forum for a few weeks now and found it very useful (easily worth the $30 donation I just submitted). I bought a house a couple months ago with a nice 25 year old 13,000 Gal, semi-rectangular, plaster finished gunite pool + spa. It looks like it's been re-coated in the...
