Sorry, missed the question about the type of pump. I've added it to my signature but also Amazon.com.

Yikes, are you saying I may have fried the entire drive unit? I was thinking of ordering something like 🔥🔥🔥Pentair SuperFlo 342001 VS Pump Cover Display and Keypad Display for Drive 353123 to fix the problem.

I tested between L1 and L2. I figured out what the problem is though, I left the control panel cover open and water got in under the control panel. I would have assumed that the seal between the control panel and the wiring would keep water out but it looks like I assumed wrong and should have...

I replaced an old single speed Pentair pump with a new VS Pentair pump about a month ago and it was working great. It was running for about a month and just today I went out to check on it and it wasn't running. All of the lights on the control panel are lit up green but it won't run and the...

Thanks for the tips. I'll try putting a sock or something over the return jets and see if they catch anything. Hopefully I don't have to remove the sand from the filter again :).

It is a side mount and unfortunately one where I can't easily remove the standpipe to take a look at it. I think it's probably not a issue with the plumbing being backward though since I've been running it without issue for about 8 years.

I have a Hayward S244S sand filter and after opening my pool last week I noticed that my pool cleaner was picking up quite a bit of sand. I had a broken lateral several years ago that I replaced so I assumed another one had broken. I took out all of the sand and have checked the laterals, none...

I wasn't 100% sure so I ordered another temp probe this time with the HPX2169 part number from the manual rather than a random temperature sensor. It turns out even with this correct temperature sensor it's still reading a negative temperature on the heat pump itself. The temperature on the...

I have a Hayward HeatProd heat pump that I've had for several years. This winter an animal decided to chew through the wires that connect the water temperature gauge to the heater. As a result I had an error code P indicating that the water temperature circuit was shorted and the temperature on...

I thought they both sourced their temperature from the same sensor but I guess I'll find out.

I have a "control panel" that is fairly similar to EasyTouch Control Systems. I don't use it to control the temperature though I think in theory I could and it does display the temperature. I do control the temperature directly on the heat pump itself. I have a thermometer on order so I'll...

My pool temperature reading has been accurate since we've had the pool for the past two years. Last night I turned the heater on and it showed 76 degrees which seemed low but I thought might be correct and I let the heater run over night. This morning it was still reading 76 degrees both on...

Crazy. I guess I've just been lucky then since we bought this house 2 years ago and I think the SWG has had this problem the whole time. I honestly hadn't even realized that there was a separate flow detector, I had been assuming that was part of the salt cell functionality to detect flow. In...

Awesome, this is extremely helpful. I'll let you know how it goes.

I just played around with this a bit and it looks like it isn't correctly switching on "No Flow" when the pump stops. If I wiggle the wire that goes to the flow detector then it does flip to "No Flow" and then when I turn the pump back on it correct detects there is flow again and the light...
