not sure what pump but here's a pic...so i can't use this piece?

bought this to thread into my pump but that circular thing at the top is preventing me from threading it more so that the ends but up against each other. do i need a different pvc piece w/out one?

Hello, the joint that you see from the elbow into the pump is leaking where you see the glue. Trying to think of ways to get the old pvc out of the pump and elbow to replace. any suggestions on how to tackle this? Don't mind the red plug - doing some pressure testing and that is where some water...

thanks for the replies..my water level seems to drop fast so a bucket test confirmed my leak suspicion. I also have some horizontal cracks , missing tiles on the bond beam so I am wondering if it is leaking through there. So far I can't get any dye to be sucked into a return..

Hi all, I made myself some cones and have 1 that i punched a hole through. Is there a proper way to do this testing to be able to isolate a certain section of pipe for leaks? thank you

Hello, our pool was build in 1983 and has never been replastered. Back in 2003 we decided to paint the pool with Ramuc brand paint. The surface is looking pretty rough now and I'm leaning towards a re-plaster job. The trouble is that there is still a lot of paint left on the surface. I put a...

The numbers on my Polaris volute says that the volute itself was built in 2003. However the US Motor was built in 2016. I bought the seal kit for the pre-2011 models, installed it and cannot get it to stop leaking. Took it apart and put back together - same leak. I'm wondering if I should have...

Hello, I have a Polaris 280 but my booster motor is not made by polaris. I want to replace the seals and o-rings where the motor meets the volute. My volute says Polaris PB4-60 on it but my actual motor is made by US Motors - which I bought about 4 years ago. When I look at replacement seal kits...

that is it, thanks much

Hi All, I have a flexible hose coming from the top of the polaris pump going to a pipe in the ground. This connection has started disentegrating so I;m looking for the right replacement plastic connectors. One side threads into the pipe and the hose end has a nipple in it to meet the threaded...

hi - I got some falling tiles at the top of the tile line and behind them are large missing pieces of concrete that the tile would ideally stick onto. I bought some hydralic concrete to fill in these large gaps but not sure if this is the right product to use. Can you advise if this is correct...

Hi All, I replaced my pump motor with the exact same 1Hp model: A.O. Smith 1 HP, 56Y Frame, Up-Rate Motor (B2853) I noticed that the impeller that was on the old pump was a rated for 1/2 hp - 3/34 hp (Impeller, C105-92ps Sta-rite (c105-92ps)) so I bought an impeller and diffuser that was...

thanks- The replacements don't seem to have the Capacitor mounted on top like my original - does this matter?

Hi All, Trying to find a replacement pump motor but the info on my pump stickers has faded away - well most of it. I have narrowed it down to Century Centurion or Sta-Rite...I think.. I was hoping that someone could identify the make and model if I posted some pics. thanks!

It seems like ever since I had my pool replastered about 5 years ago I have had problems with black algae...Is there a way to kill it permanently by draining the pool?

Yes - you are right....I do have 240 there so I just changed the switch at the back of the motor and all is well now - thank you

I have a PB4-60 Polaris Booster Motor....I am replacing the motor but I cannot get the impeller to back off when I hold the motor shaft at the rear of the motor. I don't understand why if won't thread off - it wasn't installed tightly. I put a lot of force on it and it won't budge...confused

Yes - the switch on the back of the motor arrived in the 240V position so I moved it to 120V since I am in the USA...I bought a 2nd motor and I am having the exact same issue with it too.

This is a new motor that I just replaced (booster pump)...I can see the shaft spinning for those 5 seconds but then it cuts off on its own...Motor feels hot to the touch....the Motor clicks after about a minute and then it will let me turn it back on...but it shuts down after 5 seconds again...

Hello, my Polaris booster motor died so I bought a replacement however they are not the same motors. The 2 seals that came with it are not the same size either. I am willing to reuse my old seals but was wondering if I can even use this replacement motor (it seems to have the same electrical...
