    Pool pump humming after replacing capacitor

    I finally found the issue and got the pool back up. Turns out it was the power supply coming into the pool panel from the main panel. One of the burial lines was out just after the house. Hit the Home Depot for a trencher and ran 150' of new line to the panel in a 1" conduit. Glad I was able...

    Pool pump humming after replacing capacitor

    Power to pump reads 240. Pulled it out and still nothing stopping it from turning and I get the same hum. I installed the new pump motor and got the same result. Am I missing something? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pool pump humming after replacing capacitor

    I believe it is 240, but have not tested it. Will pick up a meter tomorrow and check. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pool pump humming after replacing capacitor

    I didn't try it in isolation. It's set to 230 on the motor. Can I hook it up to a spliced plug on an outlet to test it? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Pool pump humming after replacing capacitor

    I came home to find the breaker tripped last week. I found several threads on TFP explaining the capacitor replacement. I also tested the rotation and the shaft spins freely. I ordered a new capacitor and replaced it today. It kicked on for a second and then returned to the humming mode. I...

    Hope you had the chance to break in that Firemagic burner. I nearly melted my pot heating it up with olive oil. It's the best power burner of any on the market. The fridge I used was a compact Frigidaire I picked up at Lowes. It's a fraction of the cost of most stainless models used for...

    Long Time Coming!

    The material on the awning is douglas fir. Sadly, I am moving and leaving my Que and awning. Few notes to self when building a similar set up ... 1. Use red wood for the awning and oil it instead of stain. (doug fir requires too much maintanance) 2. Leave 2 inch overhang on counter to put...

    Definitely put trex or some other material under your frame if you are going directly on concrete. I made the same mistake, I framed mine and realized the importance of the barrier after. I ended up buying 1/2" trex plank and slipping it under the frame, then I anchored the framing and the...

    Long Time Coming!

    Here are pics of how I vented the island. There are 6 vents ... the fridge opening is not sealed and air flows freely through the bar side of the island to the back. I put a total of 5 vents on the back of the island. Two low near the tank, two at the counter top height as well as a fifth...
