I have a Speck ES90 II pump with a single speed US Motors EZ48 KSSJXRME-2238 motor. I think the seal has failed, as the motor is quite rusted. I'm hoping to replace the bearings and the seals and give it a bit more life. One of the thru-bolts snapped off when I disassembled it, but I was able to...

Hi, I'm planning to replace my existing single speed (1.0 THP Speck) with a 1.5 HP Intelliflo 3 VSF pump (I already bought the pump, I understand that a 3 HP might have been better). I need to get a pool installer out to take a look at installing it (I had Leslie's come out but that was a...

Jim, I unfortunately had already ordered the new 1.5 HP pump. I figured I can run it at lower speed for more hours. Right now I run my 1.0 THP pump 8 hours a day at full speed (single speed pump). It is moving about 32 gpm. If I run the newer pump for 24 hrs, I assume I can run it at around...

Jim, That is a great suggestion. I wasn't aware of that pump. It comes with integrated WiFi and the relay card, so I don't need any extra automation devices. I've ordered one from Leslie's. They didn't have the 011066 model that comes with the relay board, so I ordered the basic pump 011065...

Right now my mechanical timer is inside the house, with just a single circuit running out to the pool that goes both to the pump and the SWCG. If I kept that setup, it would cut power to the Whisperflo as well. If there was some kind of relay output at the Whisperflo above a certain RPM (enough...

I currently have a Speck ES90-II pump with a US Motors EZ48 motor with a THP:1.0. I have 1.5" PVC piping and the pressure gauge on my sand filter is showing around 15-17 psi at the moment. I have a ~15,000 gallon pool with one return by the stairs, one skimmer and one port about 16" down near...

I bought a solid cover (tarp style) as well as a leaf net. I wanted to try the leaf net this year to see if it keeps the solid tarp cover cleaner. I was thinking that I could remove the leaf net occasionally to remove all the leaves. Both the tarp cover and leaf net have loops for water bags...
