ok, a day later, it started struggling again. Even though I didn't see cracks, I did hear a very faint hissing sound when the pump went from on to off. This led me to think that the cover had an issue or the cover's rubber gasket was bad. I checked the cover and didn't see anything wrong...

Thanks guys, So I opened the pump, and the impeller and diffuser looked good to me (I am no export). I cleaned them out and put the pump back together. I verified that the impeller moves with the motor (i.e. I spun the impeller and verified that the fan at the back of the motor also spun...

Hi there, I'm planning on installing a heat pump. The model that I'm looking at automatically turns on when it detects water flowing through it. I would like to implement a bypass valve that prevents water from going to the heat pump from monday through thursday. I basically want to heat...

Moved from here. First of all, thank you for this forum. It was a life saver. I purchased the Bluewave Endurachlor 25000 gallon size. These units arent cheap and I was dreading the purchase of a completely new salt system after only a year. My bluewave endurachlor started getting hairline...
