Hi, thank you ALL for your help and support . Having an issue with an old "VF" #350082 . it started a few months back when i came home and found the pump running on manual mode ( super high speed) after pool guy had stopped by. I touched the filter button and the unit went full stop and at the back of the motor closest to the fan the seem squirted a bit of water to the ground . In my experience with this great motor if you hit a button and the unit stops completely its from the unit being stopped and started in its own mode. If manual mode was selected while motor being in filter mode , the motor would change speeds gradually.
Today the unit about every hour will speed up maybe 3-4 speed changes and go back down to normal programed speed. this 10-12 year old pump has been the greatest pump I have ever had ! I also noticed i could not change the filter speed (20gpm) like i can change the vacuum speed thru the top control panel . At the last (DE) filter cleaning I looked for leaks replaced basket o-ring and clamp and even cleaned and lubed the orings to the filter pressure guage assembly and main filter seal and checked all connections with a strap wrench and I dont see accumulating air in the basket lid . Any thoughts ?
thanks again sparkplug !
