Ryan Inc. came out, and confirmed my diagnosis - bearings on the fan motor, fan motor needs replacing. $381 total includes his diagnosis, mileage, installation of the new fan motor, and removal of the old fan motor.

Okay the saga continues... Aquacomfort makes the pool heat pump, but does not service it. most HVAC guys won't look at it....AO Smith makes the fan motor, but sold that business to Century Electric, that part number isn't listed - contacted Century Electric (Regal Beloit), they sub out that...

Motor is AO Smith part # F48T97D01 - can't find that part using Google or Bing. AO Smith sold that unit to Regal Beloit, website is. Century Electric Motor - thousands of part numbers, not that one. I'm calling Century Electric today and Aquacomfort as well. Motor is: 208-230 v; 60 hz; 1/2...

Thanks Bobo - I will see if I can get a stock number and/or check the fan for markings, and update with results.

Been a while since I've been here, as my pool has been "trouble free" since I started following the advice here more than 2 years ago!!! I've got an Aquacomfort AC-1250 Heat pump for my inground pool, electric, not gas....and about a week ago I noticed that the fan when on is EXTREMELY LOUD...

in a 4' shallow end wall you only end up with 3 1/2' of water - keep that in mind (water level is about 6" below the deck.... in our new pool we have 4 1/2' of shallow end wall giving us 4' water depth - for us it's much better than our last pool. we also have a tanning/swim out ledge in the...

Re: Planning a DIY IG - Looking for High Water Table Solutio I'm not an expert here, but I had a inground put in last year at the bottom of a hill and we have a very high water table. How high you ask? well here is a comment from a neighbor we met a few months after we moved in 2 years ago...

will do, interesting that you said that, there was some splash and I made sure to pour a bucket of water on the tile so hopefully it won't stain - direct method from now on, thanks! I posted the pic of my pool in the pics section, hopefully will see it in the slide show - I'll take one from the...

Here is our brand new pool here in North Jersey.

by the way - I would like to show the forum what you've been helping me with. pic wp_00023 is from a month ago - pic wp_00150 is from today - both days were kind of overcast... LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE!!!!!! I want to work on Borates soon - been reading a lot of good things, maybe in June or...

Thanks Jason (and everyone else) - I just added liquid chlorine to the pool - I took a 5 gallon bucket and added about a quart and a half of liquid, stirred adn then poured while walkikng around the pool - I read in pool school to pour it slowly in front of the wall return - which I read AFTER I...

okay - I will add the liquid chlorine to get FC to 4 and not worry about the other items (I will see what PH does over the next day as 7.2 should be okay?). the cover will ALWAYS be on except when swimming - too many very young kids around and it's a safety issue - this is already raising the...
