    Polaris booster pump issue

    No additional noise.... just hums and if I don't spin the shaft, it will trip off on high temperature ( I believe it is a high temp shutoff). This is every time I test it. I don't have it in the daily cycle while I have this issue. I put it in manual and run it for a few hours. I just grab...

    Sand filter high pressure

    I must apologize for the significant delay in response. I would like to share what I finally learned about my filter pressure issue. Again, thanks to all for the suggestions. I want to close out this issue just in case anyone else has this problem in the future. If you remember back, I...

    Polaris booster pump issue

    I have been battling a Polaris booster pump issue for a while and while many posts are close to the issue, this one seems unique. My pump will not start on its own. I can energize it but no flow. Once I hand spin the shaft, it comes flying on and works like a champ for hours. I have checked...

    Sand filter high pressure

    It has been a couple of weeks but I am happy to say that we have a blue clear pool again. I did order the tf100 test kit and will use it going forward. I also have found some of the pressure issues but still need some assistance. As I treated the algae issue, the pool sand filter pressure...

    Sand filter high pressure

    So your advice is to address the pool chemistry first (while the filter is showing high pressure) and then once the pool is clear, the pressure on the filter will drop back to normal levels (after proper filter back flushes). i will also check the return nozzles as well..... After Christmas...

    Sand filter high pressure

    Recently purchased home with a pool and have had some "smaller" issues that I have a warranty company deal with (might be a mistake). After 1 pump motor change out, the pump lost prime and "melted" the impeller (I didn't see it). They replaced the impeller and noticed that the pressure on the...
