Wow thanks! I just looked at the site you gave. Looks like a generic VS pump could be a great option for me. Still a good higher price than the single speed, but way more affordable than the main brand VS pumps!

I couldn't find an XF but the VS models I am seeing are $1000+ and I can just replace the same motor for under $300. Which is what I was fearing in my original post comments. Is the XF supposed to be cheaper?

Yes, you are correct and I was using pump and motor as the same term and then saying impeller which I know is just part of the pump. I will go back and edit that. I am indeed just looking for a new motor to replace my seized motor and would rather have the ability to pick between a full raging...

Wow, thanks for all that info. Very helpful. I don't want to use my pool return for the waterfall as the plumbing back there would be a pain to re-route AND I would need a variable diverter valve that is electronically controlled so that I don't have to keep moving the valve all the time since I...

Well yes I am getting a new pump. As my post already said, the pump is seized so I have to get a new pump. And I know I can just swap it with the Pentair 355222S which is what this Magnetek is based on. Since I can't find specs on this or the Pentair 355222S pump, I have no idea what my flow...

Thank, but as I mentioned, yes, I could just buy the Pentair replacement but I am trying to find a 2 speed replacement so that I can choose to run a low flow mode when I don't want a roaring loud full flow.

My waterfall pump motor seized hard. But I can't find what the HP and rpms are. And when searching for specs on a Pentair 355222S motor, the HP ranges a lot. I would rather not get the same HP single speed motor as the waterfall is so loud. Would love a 2 speed to have a low flow fall option...

I have a Balboa EL2001 Mach 2 circuit board and ML700 topside panel with aux top panel. I am trying to pinpoint if I have an issue with the topside panel or the circuit board. The board was replaces under 2 years ago. The top panel acts like everything works, icons change like it is working, but...

Thanks. That's my though as well from my original post. Has to be a board issue. I am just trying to figure out how to repair it since it cost over $400 and is less than 2 years old. I have contacted Balboa about the warranty.

Terminal power for each pump didn't change when turning off or changing speed of either pump at the panel. White to Red or black was 0 volts for both dual speed jet pumps. Tested the 2 prong light output with auto range DC and AC settings.

So odd. Both of the pump plug terminals with the pumps disconnected and panel showing both pumps running full power, show as below: Ground to White Neutral = 120v, expected 0 Ground to Red Hot = 120v Ground to Black Hot = 120v Red hot to Black hot = 0 volts, expected 240v Tub water light turned...

As my original post mentions, I did test the power. I will list the numbers here though since I only said that I tested them and didn't originally give the voltages. Neutral to Ground = 0 volts Neutral to Red hot = 121 volts Neutral to Black hot = 121 volts Red to Black hot = 241 volts Ground...

Man I hope the whole board didn't go bad, it's only 1 year 10 months old. At least I was told it was a new board being installed and it looks new. Though it says 2003 on it, so maybe these sit in a warehouse for years. Any way for me to energize any of the pump relays manually?

I have other pics of certain parts of the board if looking for something specific. I will need to take out the fuses to test them all. But visually they look good and hard to imagine ALL the fuses would blow at the same time yet the display works fine.
