I traded my 1.5 hp pump and impeller for a 1hp/impeller but the screws that attach the wires are missing and the person I traded with is too far for me to get my old ones. Any idea what size they are? (1hp Whisper flow)

Thanks all, would a little bleach in a soap solution be too harsh?

This is my first time opening the pool on my own. The company that I used over that past several years would clean the pool cover by spraying it with an unknown solution and then hosing it down before folding it up while still wet. What should I use to clean it? Is a pressure washer safe to...

Thanks. My motor was already removed for winter storage and he already removed his. We will be comparing them tomorrow and making the swap.

Would this be a wise move on my part? In other words, will 1 hp be adequate or will I see decreased performance. My intention is to reduce energy costs. I have no water features other than a pressure side cleaner (Polaris 360) and a Heat Siphon heat pump , 2" plumbing wth 90 degree bends...

What's involved in swapping the impellers?

A friend of mine has a Whisperflow pump with a 1.0 hp motor and I have one with a 1.5 motor. He has a 40K gallon pool and mine is about 19k gallons. Are the motors interchangeable? Both motors are currently wired 240V. What else is involved in this type of swap? Anything else besides the motor?

Thanks for the reminder on bonding wire. I never installed the Nature 2 cartridge for fear of staining; it's just the empty housing from the original construction.

Outstanding! Thanks

Here are some pics; it's a double pole breaker:

I will get a pic of the diagram today. For clarity, are you all saying the green screw is ground or the green wire from panel/breaker is ground? How do I ascertain if it's 120 or 240V?

I plan to open my own pool this year (first time). When it was closed, the pool guy removed the pump motor and I don't know which wire goes where. From the panel, there are three wires (green/red/black). At the pump, there are three possible connections (white/brown/green screw). According to...

thanks for the reassurance...

Mine is in a plain clear generic bottle with a white label- no batch number. Always stored at room temp on top of my china cabinet- not in direct light
