    Maytronics Drive Motor Repair

    I think this statement was/is my issue. I think the water (small amount) was coming through the impeller motor shaft. I cleaned the impeller motor, ran it, and then took it apart again. A few drops of water were at the bottom of the impeller motor.

    Great idea. I can put it on the sun shelf if I want to run on a schedule the next day.

    Maytronics Drive Motor Repair

    I asked about depth, since it relates to IP ratings on devices. They rate devices to withstand a certain depth for a certain time. Water pressure on seals would be higher as depth increases. I believe mine failed due to water/moisture intrusion. There were times that it would sit in my deep end...

    I wish I could figure out how to get 8 years out of it. In the summer, I run it 2-3 times a week. In spring, it's 5-7 times a week. How deep is your pool?

    I used Boss 820 pool lube on all of the seals when I put it back together. I'd like to know the intrusion point. My thought was around sealing my new one after the 2 year warranty expires.

    Has anyone put additional sealant around the exterior of the impeller motor or box itself? I have some unopened 3M 5200 (from previous boating years) and thought about sealing things after warranty is up.

    Maytronics Drive Motor Repair

    It seems to be spinning free. I took the impeller motor apart and cleaned it out. I could see noticeable wear. The bearings seemed to be in good shape. I put it back together and was able to get it to pass the startup test and run for about 15 minutes. I threw in the towel and called Marina. I...

    Polaris P825 Keeps Powering Off

    How old is it? I'm having similar issues with my 2.5 year old Prowler. I found some water in the motor holding unit. From everything I've read, they last 2-5 years. They tend to get water inside over time.

    I have a Prowler 920 that won't fully pass the startup. It moves about 5' in the water and then shuts down. Out of the water it moves forward, back, and spins the impeller. I replaced the cable and it was no help. I took the motor unit apart to find a little water in the bottom of it. Then I...

    Hayward the same as CircuPool Universal, Pureline, and others

    The pricing is good on those. I would have the same concern about replacement cells.

    Polk Atrium Subwoofer

    I upgraded the living room setup to a 5.1.2 Atmos setup when we put in the pool. At the time, I took the older Harman Kardon (5.1 Dolby digital) receiver for the pool speakers. My laundry room is on the outside wall, so I installed a shelf and wall plates in that room. I ran speaker wires (and...

    Jandy WaterColors, LED Color Pool Light CPHVRGBWS150 - Aftermarket replacement suggestions?

    I just had 2 replaced (out of 3). They were replaced under warranty. I asked the warranty company if my lights had any issues (or install issues). The tech said that he didn't see any issues with them. He said they have been replacing a lot of them lately (for no real reason). My first light...

    Polk Atrium Subwoofer

    Has anyone used a Polk outdoor subwoofer (link below)? I have a 3 - Polk Atrium 8 speakers around the pool now. They sound pretty good, but lack low end response. I'm thinking about getting one of these to add to the setup...
