Ok. According to these guys it isn't needed.... https://www.inyopools.com/blog/do-i-need-my-impeller-lock-screw/

Ok - so how do i keep the impeller screw on the impeller then? I even tried loctite last time and it broke off in the old motor shaft

It's me again! I took the old motor completely apart and noticed that something had damaged one of the "fins" of the motor, and i guess caused the whole shaft to bend. The rotor has been rubbing on the stator. I ended up just replacing my motor with the same model - only black from inyopools...

Oof. Assuming the bearings won't help then?....Can you buy just a motor instead of the motor/pump assembly? What sized variable speed motor should i consider being that this one is a one speed 2HP

Continued drama / questions. So i started with the process of replacing the bearings and separated the motor from the pump. At that time i discovered that there was a rock AND the lock bolt/screw in the impeller. Thinking that surely this was my problem, i reassembled everything and...

I had previously purchased bearings, a puller, and a new o-ring seal kit, i'm going to replace the bearings and seals and see what happens. At this point i don't think i have anything to lose.

Also, i can turn the shaft by hand easily when the pump is switched to off. Once i switch to "on", while it's buzzing, the shaft turns about a quarter turn and stops, and i can move it with pliers slightly but it never spins. The shaft is immediately hot.

Yes, i can hear a slight click. This morning the pump will not come on, only buzzes for a few seconds then stops buzzing. Waits a few mins, buzzing again then off. I have 244 V at the motor.

I have 244 volts at the motor. This morning the pump will not come on, only buzzing for a bit and then stops buzzing. It waits for a few mins then starts buzzing again.....is my motor shot or do i have any other options here??

Will do. May be tomorrow some time before i get these items done. Thank you!

The water you see on the concrete is after I ran a backwash cycle and some was left on the concrete.

I’m not at home right now, this is what I have on my phone for pics of my pump and setup. The pump is original - this will be the 9th season for the pool (new in 2014).

New to this forum here, I apologize if this question has been asked before. I have a Pentair 2HP superflow SF-N1-2A that has been giving me some fits. After the pump/motor has been running for a bit (either backwashing or filtering), and i choose to switch it off in order to change to either...
