    Texas freeze damage - Sand filter replacement help needed

    Most likely like for like. I found a used one (sand) locally for what I think is a good price. So that would probably be easiest. But I’ve never replaced a filter (and only ever had sand), so I’m not sure what specific information I’d need in order to know if the used one is what I need...

    Texas freeze damage - Sand filter replacement help needed

    I live in North Texas and due to the freeze last week we went without power for several days. The obvious damage that I’ve found so far is that a PVC pipe froze and blew off. But more importantly, the sand filter cracked. I’ve seen some used ones for sale locally, so if I decided to go that...

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    Just as a follow up--we had someone come out to look at it and it turned out to be a bad breaker. We've had some storms recently and it could've been a surge, but it just wasn't getting the full power load to the pump. So as soon as that breaker was replaced the pump started purring again...

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    Sorry for the delay in responding. The weekend got busy and time got away from me. Anyway, it wasn't a problem with the breaker. And doesn't seem to be a problem with the timer box, either. We checked all the wires with the volt meter, and they all had power where they should have, etc. So...

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    They go to the freeze guard. It's a separate box over on the right hand side.

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    No, they aren't. They were before I switched it out, though.

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    John--it is the WG1573-5. Is that good or bad? �� Jim--I'll post a pic of the wiring set up from before I messed with it and also after. I've compared several times and can't seem to find a difference, but maybe I'm just missing something. This is the before....

    Bad timer motor or user error?

    We've been having issues with our pump timer not working. We finally narrowed it down and believe it was the timer motor. So I ordered the replacement timer motor and switched it out yesterday. But after turning the power back on at the breaker, the pump won't turn on now. I took pictures...

    Fix polaris 360 or replace it?

    Our Polaris 360 has not been working so we took it to the local pool store to get it fixed. I knew that there was a hole in one of the hoses and a few of the connectors were leaking, so I figured we'd just have to replace the whole hose. They said they could do a water test to figure out...

    How do I shut off power to the pump timer?

    Hi everyone- I've been having issues with my pump timer not working. The cogs in the "visual motor check" window are moving. I've already tried changing the trippers and that didn't help. So I bought a new timer motor. I've read instructions on how to change it and the very first thing is to...
