not sure what the pump housing halves are made of, but they kind of look like a fiber reinforced plastic or some kind of resin material ....

right .... I checked the label beforehand -- says it's good to use on pvc, cpvc, PE and FRP plastic pipe

thanks jason ..... was able to pick up some Rectorseal Tru-Blu at home depot. it's teflon based and says it is specifically formulated for vibration areas -- I figured the outlet to the pump qualifies as a vibration area. not sure how long it takes to cure since the directions state it "varies...

I have a dura-glas P2R series pump that developed a crack in the fitting that attaches to the pump body discharge. the fitting is a 2" on the pipe side and 1.5" on the pump side (this is stamped on the fitting itself). I'm assuming the fitting threads into the pump body. the reason I say this is...

I downloaded Java 6 Update 15 on a windows 7 box and I just get the 'Vibrant Pool' splash screen similar to sgtdvldog above, then nothing. I verified the java RTE installed and is operating properly by confirming at the java web site. does this software only work with java releases prior to...

great iPhone App! nice job. use it almost every week. -->> Feature Request: add capability to support multiple pools. I help my neighbor with her pool (she's elderly). would be nice to have both my pool data and her pool data right at my finger tips.

I had similar issue 2 months ago. CYA was at 50 .... wanted to raise it to 70 ..... pool calculator estimated 2 lbs to do the job. waited 1 week ... tested ..... didn't budge. waited another week ..... tested ...... didn't budge. added another 2 lbs (from same CYA container as before) ...

No. this is fine curtis. I performed your steps above and everything relinked fine to the other dB tables. I was planning on modifying your tables slightly to allow for my SWG data. I may even put this on my home server and build some front end ASP web pages so I can access/modify the dB from...

I was able to download and extract the zip file from your download site. I was only able to accomplish steps 1 and 2 in your above instructions -- I never got the macros message. however, I'm having the same problem as vegas_dp with the invalid path. it appears you have somehow hard coded the...

hey I'm in the dog house enough as it is -- now your wife will be on my case too?! aaahhhhhhhh!! :lol:

did you keep the old motor? if so, go ahead and order the bearings and attempt to swap them out. worst case, you'll be out the cost of the bearings. best case -- you have a motor ready to go as a spare and you gain the experience of DIY (plus, you can take your time :-D )

the Aladdin gokits on poolcenter.com don't include the bearings. is there a better source for the gokits? http://www.poolcenter.com/service_repair_pump_valve_repair_kits.htm

true, I expect the bearings delivered will be in the $40 range. my neighbor has a bearing puller -- he doesn't know yet that I'm going to be borrowing it :lol: I like to try things at least once and am somewhat mechanically inclined, so I thought I would give it a shot -- maybe I'll post...

returned from 1 week vacation to a screeching pump motor - not horrific, but I wouldn't want to spend several hours out on the patio having to listen to it. thought, "great another $200+ for a new motor". looked in my records and saw that the motor is only 4 years old. I figure it should last...
