    Wiring an Intermatic T104 for a booster pump

    I had two old T104's wired together, one timing the pool pump, one timing the Polaris pump. When I say "together", the wiring is such that the Polaris pump won't come on unless the pool pump is running. The one timing the pool pump stripped a gear so I decided to replace them both. I figured the...

    How hot should a pool motor get?

    I'm sure this has been asked many times but I'm new to the forum and haven't yet mastered the search function. I have a new 1-1/2 Marathon 1246 driving an older Sta-Rite system (new seal, impeller and diffuser). The motor is thermally protected and hasn't cut off during operation yet but it...

If there is an obstruction it would have had to come in from the skimmer end so it seems logical to first try and blow out the line...

    Another "air in the lines" question

    There is one on the side of the basket and one on the bottom of the impeller housiing attached to the basket. Neither have ever been removed, nor has the housing ever been seperated from the basket

    Another "air in the lines" question

    First of all let me say I'm aware that this is probably the most frequently asked question on the forum. I have tried to avail myself of previous posts on this question but nothing seems to quiet fit my situation. I am also aware that air leaks causing primming problems are a vacuum side...
