Definitely, thanks

Used it one season as a backup cleaner for my other one that had issues. Good condition, also includes the $70 leaf pre-filter. Pickup around Northern Va, or if interested I can provide the box size and weight so you can estimate shipping. $200

Thanks, appreciate the feedback.

Is the seal the part with the ceramic ring? Yep yep, need to keep an eye on this new one. Maybe I’ll disconnect it and bring it inside every winter so I can inspect it. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up Jim 👍

My pump was seizing up. Wasn’t expecting this when I took it apart. I *think* it’s salt, but really don’t want to taste test it. :sick: Not sure if this is normal with salt pools or indicates a leak. Either way I replaced it with a vgreen vs pump and a new go kit.

So if he was using a variable speed pump, with the higher HP motor, would it be better to a) get the bigger impeller but lower the rpm’s to some fraction of full rpm, or b) use his current impeller and use the pump at 100% some of the day then a lower rpm rest of the day? When I say better I...

So by tripling the hp, you’re able to run it at a fraction of the rpm’s?

Thanks mark. My motor was a uct1072 .75hp, 3400rpm, 115v/8amp attached to a Hayward Superpump. Just today I put a new vgreen 1.65 vs motor on the “wet side” with the .75hp rated impeller. My understanding is that with this impeller I’m getting similar gpm as my .75hp motor. Is that correct? If...

Thanks for feedback Jim, glad there’s nothing too complicated about this. So don’t switch the impeller?

I know that sounds like a huge step up, but the vgreen .85 motors are hard to find and are pretty much the same price as 1.65hp motors. Below are the reference numbers. My current motor is uct1072. .75hp, 3400rpm, 115v/8amp. Service factor 1. Questions; Basically, since I don’t need 1.65hp can...

James, I’m in a similar situation as the OP but my Hayward pump is up rated .75hp (uct1072). Guessing if I go with 1.65hp I would never want it to be at 100% as that may be way too much throughput for my system. May even cause a leak if there’s a weak part of the system. Basic math, I would...

done!
