Paul, thought I'd let you know that I worked through the safeties and found its the high limit sensors. There appear to be two of them from the diagram I'm using, a 135 degree and a 150 degree. I think I'll get a proper expert in to replace them. Should I go ahead and do both, or have him...

To answer both of your replies Jason and James, I'm planning on just replacing the motor and it will be used only for circulation and filtering. I based the calculations on a flow rate of 60 gpm which would filter the water in 8 hours. James, your explanation helps a lot. I'm thinking that the...

I'm trying to determine the size of motor I need for my pool pump. The motor I was using has burned out and needs replacing. I understood from reading this article: How Do I Calculate Feet of Head for My Pool? - INYOPools.com, that a number of factors go in to making sure that you have the...

Pressure is reading about 12 PSI. But I was wrong about the current pump motor. I swapped in the pump from the spa jets when the 1.5 hp motor went down. This one turns out to be 3 hp! is it common to use a very high horse power for spa jets? So when you say it doesn't work like that, what part...

I need a new pump motor for my 28k gallon pool. I replumbed the piping in the pool house last year with a lot more valves, bends and couplings than it had before. Using an online blog at INYO pools that walks you through the resistance from various components I have come up with a 115' feet of...

Thanks ps0303 - I'll bypass the switch and see if that eliminates the voltage drop. If its not the switch I'll start with bypassing the pressure switch and then try the limiters. I'm assuming the fireman's switch is OK, its just a loop of wire.

I may be in the same boat. Mine is a Jandy Lite 2 LG 175. I'm frustrated because its only 11 years old and it appears that gas valve is shot. I discovered that Honeywell discontinued the valve last year and places that have it left in stock want a king's ransom for them. I'm on my third...
