I have purchased my used liquidator! Thanks, Neil! It came already upgraded with barbed fittings for 1/2"OD (3/8"ID) tubing. Quick advice to anyone shipping these: Use shrinkwrap, or just tape the lid on. The 8 gallon liquidator outer dimensions are (22.5 rounds up) 23" x 15" x15". Adding one...

Grainger has the float valves for 9.99 each. I'll post the link later. There is also an ebay seller in China, but Grainger is 4 miles from my house. Shipping vs. sales tax...

So the tank, tubing and the floats are great! LoL It looks like a great idea with a satisfactory (weak) execution by a company that is too big to be interested enough in this product to improve it. I shopped around and found all the individual components and would be able to build it from...

I'm interested in buying an 8 gallon liquidator, but the price is a bit much. As I read through this forum, I saw that a lot of people on here purchased them and have since given up on them. If you'd like to sell me yours, click on "PM" on the bottom of this post and send me a message...

The grease cup and the handle retaining screw together cost almost the same as the newer greaseless valve. The existing valve has been exposed to the AZ heat and sun for 15 years. It is almost the same amount of hassle to take the existing valve apart to remove the broken threaded plastic...

My pool plumbing has (2) 2" suction side lines. One comes from the wall port for the pool cleaner (Kreepy Krauly) and the other comes from the skimmer. These meet into a three way (diverter) valve, which goes into the pump. It was an older model valve which requires lubricaton, and both the...

While the pump was set to low, I gradually adjusted the diverter, one click at a time, while checking the KK with each adjustment. The KK was doing it's normal click thing, but the pad was not sticking to the bottom of the pool sufficiently enough for it to move.

Not bad. I was targeting 63GPM on high and a minimum of 28 gpm on low. 63 GPM was because of the 1-1/2" supply piping from filter to jets. 28 was because the Kreepy Krawly claims it only needs 28 to run. I'm calling B***sh** on that, because it refused to run with the diverter at full force at...

I installed it without doing anything about the grease. Do you think it is worthy of taking it all apart, cleaning it up, then pressing it in with some dish detergent, or should I leave it alone? It wouldn't be difficult or take me very long at this point.

Thanks Bama (Dave J), that wiring diagram was exactly what I needed. I was a little off in my initial guess, but I followed the diagram and it is working flawlessly.

I installed my two-speed setup. I got a 3/4 motor, which I believe to be a rebuilt EB980 (Emerson.) I had to make two trips to the motor rebuilder shop 30 miles away and I paid $220.00 for it with me supplying the pump parts and rear seal. It would have been better to just buy a new one online...

I never knew silicone sealant existed. I just saw him grab a small fingerful of clear goop and I immediately assumed it is the same clear goop that I am using everywhere else in my pool equipment. I was standing right in front of him and it didn't have an ammonia smell like calk does. Why do the...

I have a Challenger pump. Pool store "A" tells me that the biggest killer of pump motors is rear seal failure. They point out that the place where it seats has some circular grooves in it. I can feel the grooves, but can't see them. They tell me that it came from the factory smooth, and they...
