    Impeller removal help

    I have a 1hp Sta-Rite Max-e-pro motor and I'm replacing it. I need to remove the impeller but it has no lock screw. I assume you just unscrew it by hand but it wont budge. I have a wrench on the opposite side of the motor shaft flats. I've tried strap wrenches but still no luck. Going off of...

    Another vacation question?

    We will be away from home for eight days on vacation. It's our first pool and has only been completed since late April. It has a tab chlorinator that we've never used beyond when the pool builder was taking care of the pool. I've been using bleach since I took over. It holds 9 tabs if I...
