Hi, I recently moved into a new home with a 18x40 inground pool with an auto cover (need to update current signature). I have one APCP-1700 115-Volt, 1/3 HP, 1745 GPH pump on top of the cover for when it rains (I try to keep it in the center of the cover). It seems to be doing a decent job, but should I pool/cover this size have two pumps or is one sufficient? I attached an image - but please keep in mind it’s been raining hard all day (at least 1”), so I feel it’s not bad based on the volume of rain so far (but please let me know if I’m wrong)

Also, any tips for efficiency when taking the cover off each day, as I’ll have to constantly unplug and remove the pump each time, unless there’s a better way of doing things.

Thank you.

Your filter is rated for 50 psi.

Flip it right side up and you'll see its *used* about 80% of its life. its kinda useless though as we don't even know where the cutoff is. Obviously you could be 80 to 99%, but the light could also come on at 6001 hours of 10k, or 7001 of 10k. So you have between 39.99% and 1% left.

Also, its mounted wrong and its dangerous to have such a flimsy flow switch fighting gravity. It needs to be 'upflow' or horizontal.

That's the way the pool guy put it in because of the way the water flows I assume. Does it matter if the water flows a different way? I would think the threads would be going the wrong way to flip it.

These few weeks is high shedding from trees behind our fence (combo of those helicopter things and pollen chunky things). It constantly fills the skimmers but today it happened to fill the pump basket too. The kids are a bit older and like to empty the skimmer baskets but maybe they’re letting too much down into the pump and it can clog it. Pressure reading is normally 22 when clean but it was up at 35 which had me a bit nervous. I cleared all the baskets and pressure was back to normal quickly but it made me wonder how high is too high??

Got it thanks. Going to do the OCLT test and see where I am at in the morning. Is it ok to run the filter all night with the slower flow?

Yes.

Get the FC between 3 and 10 after sunset and then test before sunrise.

You can find a local distributor and ask them or ask the manufacturer directly about the part number.

Not pollen.

Do the Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

Possible. Do the Overnight Chlorine Loss Test...Link-->Overnight Chlorine Loss Test

A pic of what it looked like when the cover came off. And then a few hours later. Could it be Pollen quickly clogging the DE filter? It was very very windy today with pollen flying everywhere.

Leave the mineral cartridge out.
How are you testing salt level? You stated you do not have a Taylor kit to test salt. Normally the AquaPure sensor is within 500ppm of the actual salt level (when using a Taylor test kit - my experience) - so to be off by 1000ppm tells me however you tested salt level may be off.

I am testing with a pH/salt probe from Amazon that is similar to the one sold by TFtestkits so I guess I'm not sure how accurate it really is compared to the salt cell sensor which says 3000ppm right now.

That was helpful especially the overheating issues with the PoolTone lights. They were in a small niche, but man, they were toasted. I'm seeing Leslie's offer of Pal lighting from Australia for a reasonable price. Anyone with experience with PAL from Leslies? My buddy works there so I can get a even better deal.

The pump is a Hayward Superpump, but the motor is a replacement, so the pump does not matter.

It is a Marathon Motor, so that it what you need.

Can you show a better picture of the motor sticker.

The back cap will probably look like this.

pop and smoke

When you let all the smoke and sparks out of a motor you then buy a new motor, or a new pump.
What is the brand and model # of the pump.
Looks like single speed. A VSP motor, if you have a good pump, might be an option.

PoolStored · 2025-05-03T18:31:14-0400

Looks like a super pump XE, likely 1.65 HP.

Give the numbers here:

Welcome to TFP.

It is a Hayward Super Pump of unknown HP.

The motor is an unknown replacement and not what came with the pump.

Not knowing the HP of the pump makes selecting a replacement motor difficult.

Given the unknowns and condition of the pump and motor it is best to start over with a new pump.

I’m dismantling the 16-footer and really assessing the damage after two full flips**. My horizontal arms are destroyed. The holes where they clip into the Ts are in awful shape. I’m gonna scrap this one. Save some of the best looking pieces as back ups and call it time for a new purchase. Dang it, Indians weather…
