The grackles (visiting bird species) are back in Phoenix, and they land on my Hayward leaf canister (in series with Aquanaut pool cleaner) to have a drink. The canister has fairly neutral buoyancy so when it eventually traps a little air, it floats enough to provide a landing perch. If I put...

Came home from work last night and turned off the AquaPlus (and pump) at the distribution panel. Got changed into some work clothes, gathered some tools and got ready to replace the filter cartridges which had arrived. maybe 10-15 minutes later turned the panel back on. Pulled the flow switch...

Hi how did you resolve this problem? I have the same pump with the same issue Let us know! Thanks

I will answer that here... in order of events, I tried again this morning timer settings have the pump off at this time, so I pressed Filter and selected speed 3 ~2250 rpm pump runs the primer sequence - which is always 3450 rpm. Filter pressure was 35 psi, (which is high, I'm going to change...

agreed - what I mean is when the pump is running (during priming), the panel says flow meter = flow. I'm pretty sure the pump is not running, I know they are quiet, but I'm standing over the pump basket and the water isn't moving. also my high speed is 3450 rpm, so even after priming it should...

Hayward Tristar SP32950VSP pump Operated by an AquaPlus automation panel Noticed my pump was not running during the periods set in Timers. Started it manually by pressing Filter and selecting a high speed. Pump starts right away but After bleeding air out of the cartridge filter, the pump runs...

OK, I'm getting a Tristar, but can THOSE bearings be replaced?

I'm having a very similar issue - noisy motor on a SP3400VSP https://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/bearing-replacement-sp3400vsp-pump-spx3400z1ecm-motor.242708/#post-2129938 Presumably you have the same motor? SPX3400Z1ECM Hayward tech support said the motor can't be repaired. Also a local...

I asked Hayward tech support if the motor bearings can be replaced and they responded "no"... "Hello, the motor we use on this pump is purchased from a 3rd party company and the bearings for this motor are not available as a spare part. The motor would need to be replaced. This is an email...

Hi, Can you explain what "6203 & 6204 $15 two 2packs" means? Is that the bearing part numbers and prices? Thanks

Yes, I've replaced my drive once already. Did Hayward address the bad IC problem (Module IR IRAMX16UP60B-2) , or is every drive failing for the same thing?

Thanks. So in your experience there is nothing exotic about motors for VSP pumps, and bearing replacement is straightforward? The tech in a Hayward Authorized shop said something about magnets not going back together properly; it's starting to feel like he was upselling me a new motor....

HAYWARD ECOSTAR SP3400VSP PUMP with SPX3400Z1ECM motor. Came with the house so 3-5 years old. Pump is pumping OK; -10 to -15 inches vacuum at the inlet. It's the motor I'm concerned about. Making a high-pitch ringing/whining sound - previous pool pumps I've owned needed bearings replaced. I'm...

I have a question about the Hayward Aquanaut 200 - can worn wheel bearings affect it's ability to climb walls? The cleaner has been working well for 2+ years, but this week I noticed the walls are not clean - the cleaner won't go past the vertical point on the pool walls using a pump speed that...

OK, I think we got it. I had e-mailed Hayward tech support and they were good enough to call me and walk me through the programming. The valve actuator signal wire was connected to Valve3 jack on the controller - that's OK, we didn't move it. in the Configuration menu, I changed Valve 3 from...
