Model 356630S. Build date 9/17/2016 Checking to see if anyone has done a bearing replacement on this and knows the ID numbers. Its running now, so I am trying to get everything together to do it in one day with minimal downtime, but it seems like there is some variation in bearing IDs on these

Pump started up like this. Flow seems normal

I'm looking to replace an old Loop loc cover with a Meycolite mesh cover. Those seem to be the only brands with a 14 x 32 option. Is the anchor spacing the same between the two? I would prefer to reuse the old holes at least.

This has been here for at least the 10 years I have owned the pool, so I suspect it was original subsidence. If I poke at it, it seems shallow, so I'm going on the assumption it's gelcoat only Since I'm going to close up soon, I would like to take care of it with some polyester resin. What is...

I just bought a new clean and clear rp 200 filter. I was taking it out of the box and noticed a small, fingernail size piece near the suction relief valve. It's not exactly clear how it would fit back on to it, so I'm not sure if this is something sort of injection molding scud or something...

I noticed the intellichlor was out the other day. I unplugged, then plugged it back into the control board, and it worked for another day Now it seens to only work when I hold it in. There is corrosion only on the DC pin. No water seems to be leaking anywhere. If it is just the harness, that...

Pool was Initially clear before memorial day, but the salt was borderline low, and the swg went off for 2 days for low salt before I noticed. I added more salt and shocked since it turned cloudy. The next day, this persistent green appeared. The water is as clear as it can be. There is hardly...

Ic-40 hooked up to Easy touch went out last night. No power at all. On the control board of the easy touch,D1 is flashing red when harness is plugged in. Any troubleshooting tips? I have access to a multimeter

I have a persistent and annoying problem with "sand" not getting filtered out in the catrtrige filter. The sand is probably just the insoluble part of dirt that ends up in the pool. It collects underneath the return jets and in the bottom of the pump basket. Is there a trick to getting this...

I am replacing a single speed with a 2 speed pump. I get the general wiring concept, but am unclear on the relay. Do you need the special Pentair relay, or can you program one of the auxiliary relay for the second speed, and just stagger the start and stop times?

I'm planning on replacing an old 1HP Pentair Superflow with a newer 2 speed model. When I look on their website, under Dimensional drawings, it looks like the inlet and outlet positions are the same, regardless of HP, and only the motor length changes. It looks like I can just swap pumps...

Whatever happened, happened suddenly when the pump was running. Now, it wont pump. The shaft is spinning, and I can hand turn the impeller, but its not moving water. It is making a slight rattling sound, like a loose garbage disposal that is running empty. I tried to follow the motor removal...

Suppose I have the standard Pentair Superflow 1 hp pump, but also the Intellitouch automation center. Can I buy the Intelliflow VS motor and just swap out the motor to make the pump variable speed to save some cash? Could you control the VS motor from the Intellitouch without anything in between?

I have a broken fiber optic strand going to an eyeball port in a fiberglass pool. I'm not totally for getting a new housing. I would much rather have a dedicated suction line for the cleaner. Assuming I can get plumbing to the port, can this be easily converted to a cleaner suction port?

The ladder anchors on my pool deck definitely need to be replaced this year. I'm going Bronze due to salt, and I know that there is special anchoring concrete to replace what I cut out, but I am unsure about the cut out process itself. 1. Should I cut out a square around the old anchor, or use...

I have an Easytouch connected to an IC-40. I'm adding a Max-E-Therm heater this year, but the equipment pad is outside of the range of the pressure switch in the heater (Too high up the hill), so I need a flow switch. The IC-40 has a flow switch, and will be ~2 feet after the heater Does it...

I have run into an unusual problem on startup this year. I have an easytouch 8 with an IC40 cell. I reconnected the cell, turned the power back on, and everything seemed to work without a hitch. The green lights came on, the flow indicator was good, and the salt light is green. However, when...

I am confused, maybe I am not looking in the right place? There are three Max-E-Therm models. NA for natural gas, LP for propane, and HD for the CuNi heat exchanger, but the HD models all say natural gas. Where is the propane + CuNi heat exchanger model? Does this exist?

I have a very rusted Laars Lite LLD heater that is nearing a trip to the scrap yard. I pulled the heat exchanger out the other day and saw green (Literally and figuratively) Does anyone have a spec sheet that shows the percent copper in the exchanger? Here is the model - >...

I discovered over the weekend that the apparent 3" coupling nuts that hold the IC40 in line are actually 2.9", and a standard 3" PVC cleanout cap will not fit. Designs like this make me angry :grrrr: Am I stuck with using the blank spacer, or is there an actual nominal PVC size that will fit?

I am learning that when a pool was not opened for 6 years, you always find new things :shock: Under one of the ladder anchors, embedded into concrete, is a large void, possibly several cubic feet. This is most certianly the result of chipmunks. I am going to refill the hole with pea gravel...

Does anyone else have this issue? I have been alternating cartridge filters, filtering out dead algae, and after 24 hours, I have a decent amount (>10) of honeybees eagerly cleaning off the grey gunk that the hose missed Maybe it is fermenting back to sugars?

I was thinking about this earlier, as I bought another 4 gallons of bleack and realized my recycling bins are totally full. Say a pool is a semi batch reactor, and you have some reactions C(t) = Chlorine impulse ra = - kb*A^n*C^m - Algae destruction by chlorine ra = +ka*A^p - Algae growth rc =...

Apart from rinsing with a hose, this seems like a good idea conceptually. Soaking a cartridge filter in bleach, in a cool, dark place for a night or two. Has anyone done this? What ratio of water/bleach did you use?

I need some advice. I had to disconnect a leaky, very old heater, and needed to do some replumbing. Unfortunately, I have a pool return line that is 1 1/2 inch PVC that is to oval to fit a coupling over. I would definitely cut and replace if I could. There is about 10" sticking out of the...
