    I didn't bother to ask. The guy that answered the phone was very surly. I asked him if they repaired motors and he said no, so I just said thank you and hung up. As a matter of fact, when he answered the phone he just said "yeah?"!!! No hello, no good morning, no niceties at all! Ed

    Ok, a little update. After a lot of research, apparently the WFE-8 motor is no longer available but the replacement motor for the WFE-8 is the B2843 and there are two styles. The first is the type with the start capacitor on the top of the motor like my original WFE-8 (and the EBAY MOTOR I...

    It is the Jacuzzi booster pump, so maybe the law doesn't apply? I ask because I found THIS PUMP on ebay from a noted seller. It's a good price and comes with the Go kit. I've sent him an email asking if he can ship it to California. Stay tuned... Ed

    Well, I'm hosed

    A few days ago I noticed my Jacuzzi wasn't turning on with all the other pumps. (I have the Jacuzzi and the waterfall set to run 15 minutes each, once a week just to keep the algae down) So I started investigating and when I turn the Jacuzzi motor on, it hums but doesn't turn on, so I figured a...

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    Thanks guys. Great advice. I was wondering how I would stay down there. I have a tenancy to always float to the top! Ed

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    I found some on ebay for $25 each so I got two. (one for a spare). Now I have to get a diving mask and snorkel and then screw up my courage to dive into 65-70 degree water! And it's getting colder each day! Ed

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    It was built in 2005 so does that make it old? I found out the cover is a Color Match Pool Fitting P/N 8-AV but the color is difficult to make out. It may be white but it looks like it's light gray or maybe bone. The problem is that I can find them online but they're like $50 bucks each plus...

    Here's the best picture I could get and it does appear to be just a pipe. Ed

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    That's because the cover came off. I'm watching some youtube videos now about how to replace them and it doesn't look too difficult. Now I just need to find replacements. Ed

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    I just went out to check on my vacuum (once in a while the hose will get tangled) and found this (see pictures)! I'm not sure what it's called (drain?) but I have three of them and on one, the "lid" has broken off! It was actually stuck to the bottom of the vacuum and I had to pull it up to...
