Hello, fellow Las Vegan! Bleach is fine. I get mine from Sam's Club.

The cell itself is only 1 year old. When I pulled the board and replaced it, the error went away for a while, but it came back. I've made sure the cord is set firmly in the socket, but how would I test if there was a problem with the cord?

I've got a SWCG that's currently reading "Cell Power Error." Following guidelines on this forum, I pulled the main board to see of there was any burned spots behind the K1 joint. Doesn't look like that's the problem: Am I missing something? I'm not all that experienced with electrical...

To close out my original question, I made a last-ditch attempt to remove the bearing. It took an air-powered impact wrench turning the bearing puller, but I was able to finally get it off. No way I could have done it by hand. Had to tap new threads for the centrifugal switch, but that worked...

Kind of a big pool to try and circulate the chlorine with just a brush. Sooo.... :punkrock:a-shocking I will go, a-shocking I will go. Hi ho, the bleach will flow, a-shocking I will go! :punkrock:

Sorry about that. It's actually the k48n2n104, which is a 2 HP full rated motor.

The model number of the motor I've got right now is an A.O. Smith k48k2n104. I'm pretty sure the pump and motor were bought and installed by Leslies, but unfortunately, they told me that no Leslies in town has the equivalent 2-speed, so it would take 5-10 days to be delivered. So, if I wanted...

Okay, if I drop in a two-speed, is it a straight one-to-one replacement? I won't need to change the impellers? I've got an Aqua Logic PS-4, so hooking it up to my current equipment won't be that difficult, I just wasn't sure what other changes I'd need to make if I went with a two-speed...

I've got a Hayward RS 2000 pump with an AO Smith single speed, round flanged motor. Unfortunately, the motor was overheating, and when I opened it up, it seemed like the rear bearing was welded to the shaft, it was so stuck. Even using a set of bearing pullers, I just couldn't get the thing...

It's in the ground and buried under concrete decking. Not sure how much more immobilized the outside pipe can get. Thanks for the suggestions.

There's nothing for the strap wrench to grip. The only part remaining of the old fitting is the part that is actually inside the pipe in the wall. The outer ring is gone, as as the threaded portion of the holder that the outer ring screws onto. Nothing is sticking outside of the wall. I...

Well, I don't really have a picture, but maybe some more explanation might help. I bought a new eyeball fitting. It comes as three pieces: the inner holder, the eyeball, and the eyeball cap. The eyeball cap screws onto a flange on the inner holder. If you were to screw the cap on, secure...

I've noticed that the four return inlets in the pool are all 1" pvc pipes. Two of them have what looks like the remnants of the eyeball fitting stub in them, but the threaded portion is totally missing. Essentially, it looks like someone tried to remove the fittings by pulling it straight off...

Re: How many swimmers does it take to replace a pool light.. None. You can do it all from the deck. Getting in the water might make it easier, though, and it's perfectly safe as long as you shut off the electricity before doing anything.

I've got several different size returns in the pool. At one point, the pool was drained and the fittings were removed and never replaced. All I've got now are pvc pipes of varying sizes that lead into the pool and end at the concrete. The largest opening is threaded, but no water comes from...
