It really only seems to trip when it's changing speeds. From what I read that could be due to "noise" in the line. Hoping that's all it is

That's exactly what I'll try! I was able to coax the pump into running at low speeds finally yesterday evening. I'll give this a shot next weekend and report back.

Hey all! I have a brand new 110 volt variable speed pump for the above ground pool. Here is the pump I have https://www.doheny.com/doheny-pool-pro-vs-variable-speed-above-ground-pool-pump and the GFCI outlet I have...

Hey all! I wanted to provide a review on the Black and Decker 1HP Variable Speed Above Ground Pool Pump. This was ordered and arrived to the doorstep exactly 14 days ago 8/27. We had a Hayward 1.5HP single Speed motor with bearing whine so wanted to make the jump to Variable speed for cost...

Hey all! I currently have this hose Pentair 155710 Pump to Filter Assembly Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GT7NAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0V472A8D7JZ05C7Z7BED It’s dry rotted after 3 years in the sun so I’m thinking about going the pvc route since it should last...

Honestly I'm not entirely sure but there's definitely a leak. Most of this is tied up in insurance "heck" right now. So have to wait for that to get settled before I can really go any further. I have a family friend that is a pool installer/maintainer and also spoke with another business in...

Hey all! I have a 24 foot round pool with a loose liner around the whole pool. We recently had a tornado and some of our neighbors metal shed, along with other various debris, ended up in our pool. Fast forward two weeks later and the entire liner is loose like a very wrinkley old person skin...

I’m thinking this is the exact hose Pentair 155710 Pump to Filter Assembly Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GT7NAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JH9N55XGFF8AHKS270DQ Any harm in just swapping that out as is since it’s plug and play?

Hey all! This hose is dry rotting and needs to be replaced before summer. It looks and feels that way at least so I would like to be a bit proactive. Any help on what this hose is or links to where this can be purchased would be greatly appreciated!

And pool is clean and clear as of this morning! The worst part of this job was the spring under the multiport valve handle. Had to put the shipping box on the floor and use my feet to compress the spring while blindly trying to get the set screw in for the handle. Outside of that this was a...
