ok... I'll have to get that info and come back thanks

Hello... As the subject line says, our pool light goes off and on - then finally stays on after a while... I'm hoping it might just be something wrong with the GFI receptacle near the pool filter.... has anybody experienced this ?? thanks in advance Tim

I would also open the air bleed on the filter. My system will push water out faster than it can suck it in when it's 100% to the vacuum. I usually have to let the air out when I'm done. Then pressures normalize and the pump sounds normal again. Not sure I'm following you here, I open the air...

You say this happened after vacuuming, what sort of debris was it? You may have been sucking up pine needles or those :rant: pollen chains which can, and will, bypass the skimmer and pump baskets and clog the impeller. thanks for the suggestion - this is a bit of a unique situation.... We had...

Hello: Where's the best place to buy polaris 380 parts on the web? I have to get a new bearing and a couple of clips Thanks Tim

I'm no expert, but sounds like you have a blockage on the man drain side - Does the valve feel like its functioning right?

I tried the Drain King thing this AM... did not do the trick... Does anyone have any other suggestions b4 I reluctantly break down and call a pool service company :cry:

A lot of air in the pump strainer basket could cause that exact problem. There is some air bubbles at the top, but not much, however I have noticed that when I prime the pump & open up the filter guage to let air out, it never seems to get all the air out... is that unusual or a problem...

is there anything on the suction side of the pump that could be blocking the flow, any valves that let you pick between skimmer and drain that are off by accident, or anything like that? I don't think so, this problem occurred during vaccuming, so I'm wondering if I vacuumed up something that's...

Is it best to keep the skimmer basket in place when vacuuming? Thanks Tim

Hello: I have checked everything I possibly know to determine why the pressure on the jets has gone down. I am 99% sure its nothing to do with the filter because the pressure stays low even when bypassing the filter. Its a brand new pump working fine - no blockage there or in skimmer. The...

Hello All - First post and looking for some assistance on wiring and use of this new 2 speed pump.... Here are my questions 1) There is a switch on the back but no indication as to whether the switch being up or down is the high speed ?? :roll: 2) I'm not sure where to connect the wires on...
