Will do. Fingers crossed.

thanks. Does that mean if the shaft has failed, i would need a new shaft or a new impeller. I hope its the latter. i still dont know why it would fail. when i closed the pool, the pump was running no issues and we made sure the water is taken out of both the chambers

Tried it but the impeller didnt move. Will try to open the wet end and see

Thanks. But is this a common issue ? I’m on year 4 and the pump has been running flawlessly

Is there a video that shows what that would look like ? I’m DIY person but scared to open this

There is one for drain and one for skimmer. Both are open . More importantly the water in the machine doesn’t move at all. Even the basket doesn’t get empty. If the basket went empty and there was no water I would have looked for blockages. Hope that helps

For those looking at this thread ever it’s 3/32 Allen wrench it moved in both directions started the machine after making one turn in each direction. But no water movement at all. The motor seems to run ok. But I shut if off quickly to ensure there is no damage. Any thoughts ?

@PoolStored Tried moving the impeller it doesn’t move The tip of my fingers barely touch the impeller but couldn’t move it. Not sure how loose it should be in either direction. Is there a way to move it without opening the machine ? Thanks in advance

So....... Just opened pool my Ph was 7.0 (with TA of 60) and to bring it to 7.8 the app said 6lbs of boarax or 3lb of washing soda. Not sure what got into me, but I thought each of my boxes were 1lb and put in 4 x boxes or 20 mule borax and 1 x box of washing soda. As i was throwing away the...

@kevinskii , Yes saw that too... but i am not really sure where this shaft is. i will try to look tomorrow morning. @Killer95Stang , yes, the engineer brain, but also knowing that it wanst there before just draws my attention to it.

So i cleaned the pump yesterday... there wasnt anything maybe small strand of pollen or two. i've been trying to run with a sock on skimmer to keep it clean and the noise disappeared for then. however, when the pump started again today, it had the same noise after about an 1 or 2 hrs of...
