    leaking FNS Plus

    I have an FNS Plus 48, installed in March 2013. Recently, it developed a leak where, or very near to, where the top and bottom meet. I am not sure how to best proceed and am hoping for insight. I've replaced the gasket (lubing it liberally), and it still leaks. I've inspected the band clamp and...

    correct gasket for FNS Plus tank

    I have found conflicting info on the web, so I am hoping someone here knows for sure -- should the gasket that seals between the top and the bottom of the filter tank on a Pentair FNS Plus be trapezoidal shaped, or round? I've found people selling supposedly the same Pentair part number, with...

    strange possible suction-side leak

    I ran into a weird situation I'm hoping for some help on. This morning I turned my pool on to spa mode and ignored it for about 20 minutes. When I returned, the spa was completely empty and the pump was running dry. I then noticed that the return valve was still set to split the return water...

Based on a Pentair exploded parts diagram, I ordered part SAW-49, which is also known as 601400. However, this is apparently not the right part. While the dimensions where it meets the flange...

    pump killing relays

    Last weekend, I returned home from a trip and found my pump circuit breaker tripped and the relay not working (doesn't switch, test button stuck in the down position). I ordered a new one and in the interim moved a relay of the same model from another circuit. Everything seemed to be working...

    WhisperFlo won't start when diffuser assembly is installed

    I have 2 WhisperFlo pumps for waterfalls that weren't used all summer (they were last used when the anti-freeze cycle activated, likely in March or so). Last week I tried to use them, and neither turned over -- they just hummed. I disassembled one of them, verified no blockage, and that the...
