Thanks Jim! It was installed 8-9 years ago though. I will be pulling the threaded piece when I receive it wednesday from Amazon. I appreciate your guys help! Tim

Jim, I figured that the O ring was shot so for $22 bucks I figured I might as well replace it and see if it stops the leak. Tim

Thank you Dave!

Thank you Jim! I placed an order via the link you sent earlier. Should I add teflon tape when I replace the O Ring? Sorry for all the questions. Tim

Thanks Jim. the pool is about 8-9 years old. I just changed the pump motor a few months ago and now I saw this today. There was also air in my filter that I had to bleed out. I'm wondering if I can just change the O ring out to fix this. Today is the first time in the 2 years we've owned...

Hey guys, I went out today and noticed water under my pump. It isn't leaking between the motor and the volute, but I think I found where it is leaking. Is there a rubber gasket that I can replace to fix this? Thanks! Tim

Yes, both are connected at the timer. However it looks like for some odd reason the VGreen/Vlink isn't losing wifi settings after its powered off for 24 hours, so they must have a battery backup. I might move the pump to the constant power in panel this weekend so the VGreen always stays on...

Hi, I have a Pentair Whisperflo pump and I just replaced the motor with a Century VGreen 165 variable speed motor with the VLink wifi adapter (which gets its power from the VGreen motor). My Pentair IC40 is attached to the intellichlor wall unit for power which attaches into the timer box...

I talked to the guys at pinch a penny today and they said it's likely that a diffuser isn't needed unless its cracked. I turned my pump on today and its working great. However, now there is constant power to the system because my new pump has wifi mgmt that allows me to schedule the RPMs of...

Hey guys, I just replaced my single speed USQ1102 with a VGreen 165 variable speed motor. During the installation I ended up having to replace the plate that attaches between the impeller and the motor because the metal screw bushings pulled out due to corrosion. The single speed was replaced...

Thanks I just turned the pump on and no leaks. I appreciate your help!

I went to Ace Hardware and picked up a new bib and some pipe thread compound. They didn't have anything called thread joint compound but the guy said its the same thing. I put everything together, but there is no drying time on the container. Do you know how long I should wait to turn the...

Just tried to tighten the top of it and it still leaked. So will look into replacing it tomorrow. I like the hose cap idea so will grab a couple just in case it happens to any others around the house in the future.

Thanks guys I appreciate the help!
