    Leak in cap of sacrificial anode

    Here is the link to it on Amazon. It is Bonbo B0DS1WPJRD - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DS1WPJRD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title I looked closer and the image and does seem to be showing the two o-rings (see attached image) - although it doesn't appear that they touch. Maybe I need to pull out...

    Leak in cap of sacrificial anode

    Has anyone had to deal with a small drip coming from the cap of the sacrificial anode? (see attached pic). I removed the cap and there were two sealing rings, one in the black cap and one on the main body that it attaches to. I put lubricant on both rings and screwed it back together but to no...

    Crosswind V flow rate concerns

    Thank you for all the replies. I am trying to discern how much this is specific to Crosswind V, or is this an issue with all heat pumps. I looked at BTU and COP when making comparisons, but admittedly did not factor in flow efficiency. I believe I would still have the option to make a swap if...

    Crosswind V flow rate concerns

    I recently installed a Crosswind V Heatpump, model 8550. I created a bypass so I can have water flowing around the heater. When I run my pump at 2500 rpm my filter pressure gauge reads 7 PSI (recirculate mode on multiport valve) and I see 60 gpm. I then turn my 3 way valve so water is routed...

    Cavitation? Or Leak?

    Just came across the Hydraulics 101 Forum by @mas985 - it says "Cavitation cannot usually be directly observed because it occurs at the impeller inlet which is blocked from view" and "these vapor bubbles do not exist for very long and as they travel through the impeller, the pressure rises and...

    Cavitation? Or Leak?

    It gets bad at 2500 RPM: I'll try to get some photos of the overall pad but it is raining now....

    Cavitation? Or Leak?

    I have all brand new equipment on my pool pad. The pump is a Hayward Tristar 1.85 THP. Unfortunately I am getting air bubbles in the pump basket and I am unsure if it is cavitation or a leak, either coming from the plumbing or from the pump itself. I have someone coming to do a leak test on the...
