sorry this is a late response--that time of year of course. do you mean bite the bullet and call an electrician?

Hi guys, i'm trying to find a new pump but a bit clueless on some of the electrical stuff. My current pump for my above ground pool is a 2HP Hi-Flo --- 115 Volts, 13.8/3.8 Amps. My current outlet shows 20 Amp, 125 Volts. I think i can move to a 1.5 HP Pump as my pool is only about 10-11K...

so can you guys help me out with one thing. i'm no electrician by any means so i would like to match up the plug to my existing outlet. the replacement hi-flo pumps i'm looking at are sold with a twist lock but its a L5-30 Twist Lock. By looking at the diagram it does look close but a bit...

okay thanks danpik-- trying to figure out if i order a new similar sort of waterway hi-flo pump if the plugs would be the same--thinking of actually downgrading to a 1.5 HP

hi thanks the plug says XL520P-A and other side says ES322682 i looked at the outlet and it does say NEMA L5-20-R 20A here's outlet: Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet so i guess safe to assume this is a twist lock rated up to 20 amps? would i need an exact match on this sort...

Hi guys this is the plug on my existing pump for which the nearby outlet is setup to plug in. Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet In trying to identify a new pump i see NEMA 3 prong and Twist Lock as options and i don't know which one this is. Can you help identify? Thanks!

Hi guys I have a Waterway Hi-Flo 2 speed pump for my above ground pool. Also have a Waterway filter. The pump is leaking everywhere and I think it's time to just get a new one. Just curious if I need to get a Waterway pump again? It so should I just buy the same one? Not even sure if it's...

Hey guys--i'm trying to replace a shaft seal on my Waterway Hi-Flo Side Discharge pump (above ground). I've got all the back pieces off but cannot get the impeller off. I've taken the cover off the back of the motor and tried to hold the screw in place while turning the impeller but it just...

Been getting gouged on electric bills so decided to finally get a timer. Bought the Woods heavy duty but then realized that I have a twist plug. D'oh! What do I do now? Any way to get an extension cord adapter that would be ok and that I could leave outside? Or do I need to suck it up and...

Thanks so much. So i'm guessing on the filter that I need to just take it all apart and look for any worn out stuff?

thanks mas. could you tell me --- do you know exactly what part that is on this diagram? would it be #8? Waterway Hi-Flo Above Ground Pump Parts - INYOPools.com and then i'm assuming i should hit the seal while i'm there do you know which one that is on this diagram? thanks...

Seems like more of a leak when turned off. But when I have filter at low speed I notice that there are three leaks---one from the ground level of each side of the filter. And the other leak is coming from right underneath the basket on the pump. Filter is a Hayward and it is an above ground...

When I turn off my pump (Waterway Hi Flo) there appears to be some water seeping out from somewhere near the filter and between it and the pump on the ground level. Can really figure out where it's coming from. Read that it could be a seal in the pump--does that seem right?

I have an above ground pool and have been running the pump non stop and noticed it big time in my elec bill this month --(about $120 higher!) Curious--when do you turn off your pump? I usually add my bleach in the morning so i might just start turning off before I go to bed. Any automatic...

Tonight was scary. My one and a half year old basically just walked into the pool--thankfully my wife was right nearby and rescued her. Whatever the case it scared me straight into thinking we really need to put up some sort of protective fence. We have a four year old that can't swim either...

i didn't ...we just moved in last sept..so first time closing the pool (or a pool for that matter) - - - Updated - - - oh man it's gonna be cold! and getting colder... - - - Updated - - - oh ok--do you know what model these stairs are? - - - Updated - - - i was thinking the same...

Maybe this is a dumb question, but i cant get my stairs out. With the weight of the water they are so heavy. I was going to jump in the water to lift out but the water is so cold i couldn't get myself to do it. Is there an easy way to do this that I might be

Thanks richard--really appreciated---starting to learn so much from this site. thanks so much!

Yes i do have some Soda Ash (how did you know?) :D Any recommendation on how much of that to use---with TA at 40 and ph at 7.2?

For TA I used a 100...is that too high? Thanks for those recommendations--super helpful!

Former Leslie's slave here trying to switch over to the BBB method. I bought the Talyor K-2006 Test Kit. After a test (i have an 8000 gal above grnd pool) i got the following results: Chlorine .6ppm, no combined chlorine Ph = 7.2 one drop to raise acid alkalinity = 40ppm calcium hardness...

Update--replaced the spring and ordered the spider gasket. The gasket was impossible to remove and so i ended up buying the entire diverter valve with the gasket included. Installed it back in and still nothing. I think you were on to something with the spring as it seems now that there is...

Dan, thanks for the help! Much appreciated. I ordered a spring and a spider gasket today. i'm going to start there. anything special i need to know when replacing? simple as just swapping one out for the other?

Thanks Dan that was an amazing explanation! So where i am now. I determined that i had the multiport lever in the wrong position (i had it pushed down instead of up). Even still in this position the filter is not working. i put my hand over the return jet and no action at all. I put the...

i think maybe i had lever in wrong position---see picture ---should be up right? This stops the water from flying out of the back but still no pressure

Thanks. I want to just make sure i'm on the same page. I think when you say drain plug, you're talking about the cap on the back of the filter right? OK, if you look at the second picture, i didn't have the cap on...but I did just find the cap, and when i do put it on, there is a small leak...

Thanks Tim, so what should my next steps be? Should i start by putting more water in the pool? And then how do i fix a drain plug?
