    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    That's because the cover came off. I'm watching some youtube videos now about how to replace them and it doesn't look too difficult. Now I just need to find replacements. Ed

    Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

    I just went out to check on my vacuum (once in a while the hose will get tangled) and found this (see pictures)! I'm not sure what it's called (drain?) but I have three of them and on one, the "lid" has broken off! It was actually stuck to the bottom of the vacuum and I had to pull it up to...

    Pump "moaning"

    Yes, it's a pool/spa (jacuzzi?) combo but no heater other than the gas heater for the spa (jacuzzi), which I NEVER turn on because it raises my gas bill 500 percent!!! As for donating, give me a few weeks and I'll send you something. Contrary to popular belief, just because I have a pool...

    Pump "moaning"

    Well, after a day the pump is working perfectly so I guess I can put the VS pump on the back burner for now. However, it's 18 years old so it probably won't last another so I'll start saving for the VS and the labor to install it. I want to thank you guys for helping me out. Every time I have a...

    Pump "moaning"

    Thanks. That means I'll have to have a professional come out and do the install. Also, I didn't downsize the pictures. If you click on them and then click the magnifying glass ( + ) you should see them full size. At least it works for me but I'm using Firefox so it may be different for other...

    Pump "moaning"

    No idea why, but I figured they knew what they were talking about. Why would the plumbing make a difference? Maybe because the new VS pump is 3HP and the old single speed pump is only 1.5HP? More pressure in the pipes??? Here are a few more pictures... Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Here's the controller in the house, the I-5 outside and the plumbing. Is that good enough? Ed

    The pad in the house or the I-5 control panel outside? What exactly are you looking for? Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Nothing wrong with this bearing (see below)!!! I found out from Pentair that the new variable speed pump will work with my Intelli-Touch I5, but it "might" not work with my plumbing since it's 18 years old and they recommend that I have a professional come out and verify if it will or it...

    I have an email into them now but as of yet no reply. I may call then later on. Thanks Roy Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Yes, I'm looking around trying to find someone with good ratings. The problem is that most of these places have very few reviews. Anyone ever had any experience with BREEZE POOL SERVICE in Murrieta (where I live)? Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Oh I agree. And the pump, while making intermittent moaning and groaning noises, isn't completely dead yet, so maybe I'll be able to hold off until a rebate is (maybe) offered. Of course there's no guarantee they'll EVER offer another rebate, but at least it's not something that has to be done...

    Pump "moaning"

    Yes, I saw that but when I click on SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON - SCE the page it takes me to doesn't mention pool pumps. Ed

    It's Southern California Edison but the only rebate I can find is from 2010 and it's expired. Ed

    Ok. Thanks. I was thinking a plumber or probably someone that actually installs pools. There are a lot of those in southern California!! Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Oh. There you go then. No choice. I sure hope not. I really don't want to go another 30 years of loneliness. (Sorry guys. I don't want to burden you with my problems) But to get back to installation, is there anyone in the Murrieta/Temecula area you can recommend? Ed

    Pump "moaning"

    Man, I REALLY like that wireless capability but it sure isn't cheap! Almost $1800 plus tax and installation. (I don't think I'm talented enough to install it!) Here's my conundrum though. I'm 67 years old and probably won't be around too much longer. When I die, my kids will probably sell the...
