I've been missing a weir door for more than a year now. I've ordered one online only to find that it was not the right fit. The skimmer basket lid has waterway on it but not sure if that's the original. The opening of the skimmer is 8in by 5.5inch. Any suggestions in where I can find this part?

Here's a picture of the filter. On the outside, it says 450 or 500. When I look online there seem to be size difference betwee. The two cartridges. On the bottom right corner of the picture, it says "model=C5520BHMB". Can I assume that it's 550 size?

Success! Thanks to all for your input. Motor running smoothly after 2 week layoff. Now gotta get the green out

Thanks. It was late in the night and didn't think to try this - - - Updated - - - I'm now wrestling with the question.... do I even need one? This thread seem to suggest otherwise http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/41842-Pump-impeller-screw-needed

Just when I thought the motor replacement couldn't get more complicated this happens. I just received my motor and was trying to remove the impeller. I have the Hayward Tristar model where a screw holds the impeller in. The screw was worn out and the hex key didn't fit. So I used a vice grip to...

Thanks for all your help. Just made the purchase. I'll check back in a week with hopefully some good news.

Thanks a bunch. One last parting question. The B2984 shows it to be 14+ inches while mine is around 12inches. The extra length may be troublesome since I'm butting up against the side of the house as is. Is it really longer? Thanks

Here are several more pics with measuring tape to provide reference. The last pic is on a ring with part number on it that I couldn't identify. If you can't see it clearly, it says "SP3021R >PE<". Definitely square flange. Thanks

Just reposted. Keeps showing upside down. The only thing about your suggestion was that it's 2HP and was designed for a different pump? I guess I was just hoping there would be a more exact match. The pool store claims there is one. Not sure if I believe them though

Thanks. Not sure if I'm over thinking this but this is not as straightforward as I initially thought. I'm very close to giving up and paying the pool store's robbery level prices to ensure I get the right motor. Would hate to buy one online and realize it was the wrong one. .... having...

The right pump II??? Topics merged. Please keep everything related to a single question/issue/project together in one place. JasonLion Sorry for starting another thread but wanted to post a picture of the label of the motor that just went out on me. It's 2.5 HP 2 speed Emerson (now US Motors)...

I think I'm really confused now. My old motor was a 56Y frame same as the one in the ad. I wish I could post another picture so that I can put the old motor boiler plate on my post. It's same in every spec as the one in the website except for a higher amp...

Just wondering why you don't think it's a good fit? Is one of the specs not compatible. Also the one that you suggested says its a replacement motor for Pentair WhisperFlow and mine is a Hayward Tristar. Thanks again

Could this be my unicorn that I've been looking for?!?!??! http://www.bwspaparts.com/emerson-2-5hp-spa-pump-motor-56-frame-thru-bolt-2-5hp-230v-2-speed-tt504.aspx? Here's another retailer that shows the boiler plate of the replacement motor. All the specs seem similar except for the SF Amp...
