Thank you jsygrls. Looks like it is #12. from measuring the existing wire. I will confirm the breaker size.

I got the intelliflo3 without the screen, saved around 300. That is large compare to my old pump. It didnt fit in the exact same location so I had to angle it away from the heater plumbing. Now I need to extend the power cable and the ground another foot or so. I read the ground should be min...

Thank you for that. Makes sense. I also dont have automation. Just a timer for the old pump. From reading I wont need the timer or just leave it on so no rewiring.

haha, original motor last just as long as our marriage do far. So you know, Happy wife, happy life. Dont want to hear about it later.

Got another question. I'm now looking at the Pentair Intelliflo VSF. wife says get the better one. I see two options. Do I need the touch screen or without (Cheaper) and use the app?

Thank you

Rancho Cost-a-Lotta, What store is that in Ontario?

Thank you for the fast reply. Calimar is more in the range I was looking for. I did a search here and one post says its the same as BT and B&D but with better-longer warranty? More expensive though. Suggested to purchase the extended warranty.

Hello TFP family, I have a old Magnatek Century Centurion B124, 220V, FR M56C, 2HP, RPM 3450 that finally died on the hottest weekend in SoCal. It pops the breaker as soon as I turn it on. At first I was thinking of keeping the pump portion and changing the motor with the Century VGreen...

Its been a few weeks but this should be my final update for my issue with my G2 cleaner. First, THANK YOU for everyone's help. I first took in my motor to replace the seal and bearings do to a leak and thinking it might be the air issue with the ortega valve gasket and pump basket gasket...

What do you think of a refurbished Pentair Warrior? I see it on a ebay seller. What is the requirements, suction, HP? This would still be connected to my skimmer port.

I'm still looking for suggestions. I'm going to go buy another diaphragm just in case the one I replaces is defective. That would be the cheapest route. If that doesn't work I think next will be shopping for another cleaner.

Zea3, I have mostly small plant debris, leaves. I've replaced the diaphragm due to previous cleaner symptoms not moving which usually worked. In this case it did not and ended up with multiple other issues that I have now corrected one by one. So I'm back to a partial non working cleaner.

yes progress..haha Lining up the grids are a pain. All put back together. I'm back to my familiar 10 PSI. So I got the cleaner moving but the sad thing is it's for only a minute or two then it would stop. Doesn't matter if its on the bottom or the wall, it would just stick. I tried adjusting...

I guess it wasnt as clean as I thought. Only the top seem clean. The bottom was caked on with the DE and debris. I sprayed and soap the grids and scooped out the remaining gunk. The funny thing, my wife said I glued the manifold around 10 years ago between pool cleaning companies. I'm going...
