Not sure if this how I want to go with. The existing plug being outdoors and under a While in Use cover plate think I'd rather just keep the GFCI as is and install a Timer further down the wall. Im in Canada, so I'm running at 120V, the pump is 1.5HP. The pump is running of a standard 15A...

Thanks for the quick reply! Great Idea actually. Any recommendations on a Timer or is what I have shown more than sufficient for my application?

After having a pool now for 5 years and typically my pool pump runs 24/7 from the time the pool gets opened May/June to late September, I want to install a timer to basically cycle the pump only for 8hrs a day and hopefully save on the energy cost. My pool is a 21ft above ground, pump is 1.5HP...

You were bang on Richard. I took a closer look tonight (rain finally stopped) so I got out to my HeatPump. I unscrewed the little cap from my existing service port on the unit and realized that the left side of that T valve will screw onto my old service port. With one branch of the T becoming...

If you look at that switch picture from your link, the right side of the T there is a cap like part on it. Well I have the very same cap on the my system down below where the low pressure side is where I guess you would fill the unit. I am wondering like you said, perhaps that T gets adapted to...

Well the part came in and as luck would have it its not the exact match. So the cross reference from the manual isn't right. The switch I removed reads HP2177, what the book says its HPX2179. So I am not sure what to do now.. If I cut the old one off using a tube cutter from that copper line...

Richard, that is exactly the switch I came across as a cross reference part #. I ended up ordering it through amazon as it was hard to tell from the picture so worst case I return in. But basically my unit simply pulled off on the copper tubing with another piece remaining, there was a plunger...

Jumping the low temp switch makes the unit work. And my power pilot light also comes on. Its running now, I am pretty sure the temperature is luke warm/warmer coming out of the jet. I'll let it run overnight and see if I can feel a slight increase in temp in the AM. No issues in this? The low...

Thank you for this! I think I may have found my model and the wiring diagram. I also found on there a troubleshooting procedure which I followed. Now based on that I am not sure perhaps my low pressure switch is bad? I followed all the steps, only issue is I have no way to test the pressure if...

By passed pressure switch and no go..

hi, ya no mine has no digital display. I am in front of the unit now and was going to bypass the pressure switch for starters. See picture of what hat unit looks like with cover off.

Thanks for your help! This is a start, any idea what and how to troubleshoot this piece?

So I've had my pool setup now for 2 years, this being the 3 summer I am opening it. Got the water all cleared up etc and this evening went to turn on the heater. Flipped the breaker on at the main panel, went to the disconnect by the heater and flipped that on and power is available at the...

So I have a Pool heater for my 21ft above ground pool. Its a Hayward Heat Pro HP-2337. The unit basically just has a dial on it where you can set the intensity of the output? It's rated for 2300W. I am wondering, without running the unit 24/7 is there a way that I can install/retrofit basically...
