I assume the server impacts both Android and iOS devices? Any ETC? Thanks for the heads up! I thought the issue was on my end! ;-)

Bearing replacement bore fruit! Motor assembled, pump assembled, everything working so far. Thank you everyone for the help!

Bearing replacement. Trying that before spending on a new pump. To answer my own question, the through bolts thread through the bell, so I do have access there. Sure enough, they snapped. Next step is drill and tap. New through bolts purchased from McMaster Carr. Wish me luck! 🤞

Next issue. I believe the ends of the through bolts have snapped off inside the motor housing. Only one of the 4 bolts can thread. I only have access to the back side of the motor. The bell is not removable. Only other option is maybe removing the wiring / magnet thingy? Is this possible...

This is exactly what I was talking about. Thank you! Should work a treat.

Next question: When the pump and motor are mounted, the motor doesn't sit on the saddle. I think this is what caused the leak and motor failure (weight of the motor pulling down on the sealing plate, and putting pressure on the front bearings). I've attached a pic of the saddle, and the middle...

Thanks all!

This is the impeller that's in there now.

The current impeller was sized for the pump by inyo pools. I can pull the details later.

I'm going to attempt replacing the bearings myself. If, however, that is a bust, I have determined the v-green 1.65 motor will be sufficient. I think I'd have to change the impeller for that too, am I right?

Just a follow-up. Today the pump is MUCH quieter than it was yesterday. That seems outside of typical bearing failure modes. I wonder if maybe there was some rust buildup inside the motor while it was sitting during the seal change. That took a few days while parts were being delivered. Anyone...

Anyone know if this interface is compatible with any of the V-Green motors? Or just specific models? I have a 270 which came with the interface, but I'm looking for a new one as the current one is whining. ETA: I suspect it's compatible with any model that includes the RS port. Can someone confirm?

Hi all! I'm in need of a pump motor replacement (current one is whining), and I just want to get some help on an appropriate choice. Pool size: ~15000 - attached jacuzzi with 4 jets Run Time: ~8 hours Variable speed required (here in California) Current motor is the VS-Green 270 - 2.7 max HP...
