Does anyone know what bearings are insdie a Hayward VS Super Pump motor (1.65 HP)? My pump has started to make noise and I want to repalce the bearings.

My Ecotech EZ motor failed the other day. The display was blank and I was getting power to the junction box. I couldn't find any info beyond basic troubleshooting. I assume something in the drive failed. I was thinking of getting another Ecotech. Many stores had them listed a not in stock...

A couple of years ago I replaced my failing Super Pump motor with a EcoTech VS motor. I recently installed a energy meter on my pool/pond circuit. The meter is integrated with my Smartthings hub and the charts are done using Initial State. Pond running (24 hr/day) - 210W Pump running 100% -...

I knew my liner was going to need to be replaced soon. Over the past few years I have had to install a few patches & it was very faded. This spring when I was topping off my pool (from a hydrant) and I blew a hole in the liner (shallow end). As the level dropped it pulled the cover and a...

I have a EcoTech VS motor on a Hayward SuperPump. The motor is directly wired to the breaker in my pool panel. My SWG is also wired to a breaker in my pool panel. I was relying on the flow switch to stop the SWG from generating. I have been getting errors on the SWG after the pump turns off...

I purchased a CricuPool Si45 SWG (to replace my liquidator) and a Ecotech EZ 1.5 hp motor. My existing equipment pad is very compact. I do not have enough room to pipe the flow switch and cell. I was thinking of installing the cell vertical. I plan on running 2" PVC from the multi-port...

I am thinking of replacing the motor on my SuperPump with a VS motor (Ecotech EZ or V-Green). I am leaning toward the V-Green (its more $$, but it has an aux output for a SWG). No need to a separate timer or current sensing relay. I also want to replace my returns, they are 14 years old. I...

I don't have much $$ to spend on a SWG. If I go by the 1.5-3 rule. I need one rated for 33K to 33K. Anyone hear of a Saltron Pure Breeze? It is rated for 40K gals has a 5 year warranty (prorated) for $752. It is not on Solaxx's website. The cell looks similar to the Saltron Reliant cell...

I want to install a gauge on the discharge side of my pump. I want to use the gauge to calculate flow. My issue is that I have a Hayward SP1486 union going from the pump to the multi-port valve. The SP1486 is a 10" long lexan elbow. The valve end is a self aligning union and the pump end has...

When I closed my pool, in the fall, the water level was at the middle of the skimmers. Now it is approx 25" below the coping. It is below the skimmers and returns. I don't think that that much water would come thru a new cover....That leaves the the following possibilities: liner, light...

I believe that the test vial graduations may be off. If I fill a liquid medcine syringe (http://www.baxa.com/PharmacyProducts/Or ... rySystems/) to 10 ml and fill the test vial. The vial reads slightly over 11 ml. Do I fill to the 10 ml mark on the vial 10 ml per the syringe?

When my pump shuts off, DE backs thought the pump and gets into the pool via the main drain (or skimmers if I shut off the main drain). What could be causing this? I read that it may be a suction side leak causing a air pocket in the filter that expands when the pump is turned off. I had one...

Since I opened my pool in mid May my pressure has been at 9 PSI. The past few weeks has slowly raised to 13 psi. Yesterday I returned from vacation and ran my polaris. The pressure climbed from 13 to 20 PSI. I backwashed and replaced the DE, still as 20 PSI. I even replaced the gauge. I do...

I have a 21,900 gal vinyl lined pool. I moved into the house in late July and just used the chlorine tabs the previous owner left me. When I closed the pool I just shocked, added algecide and covered the pool and forgot about it. After finding TFP I learned alot and I am going to do BBB...
