I replaced the pump and motor as a brand new unit all I did was hook up the in and out pipe. The ground was hooked up to the internal green screw. It does look like the seal between the impeller and motor has been leaking though.

This was a new complete pump motor assembly 3 years ago, I installed by just changing the 2 pipes from the old to the new. The original same hayward with 1hp tan motor lasted maybe 15 years.The motor wouldn't start right away last year hummed. Blew out motor slots with air, turned impeller...

thanks for the input, it took me a few days of pouting but this evening put new male adapters on the pump in and out as they were both messed up and found the red plug loose in the socket.I pryed it open a bit and plugged it in. Cross my fingers everything seems to be operating properly. Thanks...

came home yesterday noticed pump not running. programmed to run 6-6. Autopilot screen blank appeared to have no power. Breaker in cellar was ok and gfi breaker in garage was on. When i tripped and reset gfi breaker pump came on. Went out to deck and noticed water running out from under fence...

I'm also having cya problem. Added 6 lbs of cya and read zero 3 weeks later. Does no chlorine cause cya to go away? I have a 32000 gal vinyl with a 500 gallon a day leak (still). So i have lost and added about 10000 gallons in same amount of time. Obviously this contributes a lot or completely...

Thanks everyone. Any experience with "Marlig Fix a Leak" anyone?

check my post under "suction side automatic pool vac for IG pool" below. I have a dolphin by smartpool "two thumbs down" However there may be a good robot out there that someone on this site can recommend.

I want to find this leak before I add 7-800# of salt. Have air pressure tested all underground lines and they are ok. Cannot find a tear in the liner it was replaced 2 years ago. My pool is IG vinyl lined 20x40. When PB did liner he put a set of plastic molded steps in the shallow end. They were...

Wish I could do that up here its awesome but alas the ground and everthing else freezes at least 4 feet deep

I used a kreepy krauler brand for 3-4 years worked ok in my 20x40 8'6" deep end. It got stuck on ladder alot. The tubing needed replacing after a couple of summers it started collapsing. I had to do a lot of modifications to get the suction just right not too strong not too weak it was very...

Wouldn't that kind of use be considered commercial? Is there a limit to what the residential unit can do and that is why they sell commercial units?

Poolsean I have placed an order with Josh at Saltwater and was reading your above reply to him. It seems as if you are describing a model that he is not familiar with or Josh and I are misunderstanding you. Could you please be more specific as to what I would order from Josh besides the Dig 60...

thank you both looks like I will get the 60. I was sure I wanted the Total Control but I read the installation manual and it sounds extremely complicated to set up and "oversee". The keeping ph and orp probes wet at all times part seemed particularly troublesome. When I shut my pump off water...

32000 gallon ig vinyl. Read a huge amount here and pf about baq conversion. Put in 20 gal of 5.25% 6 days ago.. No reaction as everyone describes. No changing colors or anything just clear water with winter stuff in it. Have been cleaning out normal bottom dead algae and leaves from winter...

Without reading thru all the posts again it seems as if I saw mention of buying a larger unit than the advertised capacity which is based on 100%. 100% of what I don't know. If I'm wrong correct me I think Poolsean in one post said everyone advertises this way. So all this to ask if I have a...
