Update: the pump worked when connected directly to power. So I think we can replace the DIG-220 for $1000 and save up for the eventual pump replacement to VS.

We have had our pool for 10 years now and things are getting old and worn. Background Information: 1. There is a leak and I currently have a Sep 13 appointment with American Leak Detection. 2. The pool leaks below the skimmer level and I turned the skimmer line off so that only the main drain...

I just replaced my salt cell and replaced the Tri-Sensor O-ring at the same time due to a leak. I did not replace the Tri-Sensor because I have not gotten any bad readings on it. I made sure to use the appropriate lubricant purchased from INYO Pools. Got my system running again and the...

Thank you! I was hoping that my instinct was wrong, but oh well. I'll probably order and replace the cell. Fix the Tri-Sensor leak, and be prepared to replace it soon as well. Unless I hear any other words of wisdom from this wonderful forum! Nancy

My pool was installed in 2013 and we still have our original Autopilot RC 35/22 cell. I have inspected it and did not see a reason to clean it. The Tri-sensor is leaking, so I have ordered a new o-ring for it and will inspect it soon. I am beginning to get low Amp warnings on the Autopilot...

Thank you! I was hoping that would be a decent solution. I'll ask her to do a little bit in the morning and and again at night. I'll finish the slam when we return! We are so close....

Update on my pool. The pool is almost clear now and has been holding the higher chlorine levels during the day fairly well. I do have a new question. We are leaving town and have a friend caring for the house and our animals. She is not a pool owner. I plan to do the overnight test...

Yes, we have a sand filter and the vacuum hose connects to the top of the skimmer basket via a connection plate similar to the following: Amazon.com: Hayward SP11063 Skim Vac In-Ground Pool Skimmer: Garden & Outdoor I have vacuumed to the skimmer basket with a sock and it just junks up very...

Hey Texas Splash, Thank you for the reply!! You are absolutely correct, I was not following the methods properly. I was distracted and working on memory which is never good. Luckily, I did balk at the pool store recommendation for floc, I only purchased the Calcium Hypochlorite shock one time...

Our pool pump malfunctioned last year and over the winter stopped working. Summary is a green pool now. I purchased CYA and lots of liquid bleach (switching from regular 6% bleach to 12.5% bleach during the pandemic) and most recently using Calcium Hypochlorite shock from a different pool...

The pump is only two years old (installed June 2017). I'm attaching photos of the breaker, I can not read the make/model on the breaker. I noticed earlier this year that the pump was off. I had to reset the breaker to get it going. Then it was off again the next day. Sometimes I had to reset...

Thanks for this information. I got delayed getting back to the replies. - Breaker, the electrical was installed in early 2013. I'm attaching photos of the breaker. I don't see a date on the breaker itself, we just know when it was installed - The Pump was replaced in June of 2017. The...

Our Hayward pump has randomly turned off due to the breaker tripping. We currently have a leak from the effluent on the pump and will be replacing the influent and effluent pvc fittings with cmp. In the meantime, I have had several suggestions on the breaker. One is to replace the capacitor...

Thanks for the video! We plan to do the influent and effluent fittings and add the unions for service. Thanks again!!

I have a few questions to make sure that I understand your recommendations. I'm still fairly new at learning how they system is put together.

Thank you both. Re-configuring those connections makes sense. I've never used dope and had to look it up, but I think I'd like to try it instead of the tape. We did add unions around the sand filter so we can service it now. Our pool installers didn't have unions on anything. Now at least...

It is leaking right where the pvc pipe attaches to the top of the pump. That is why I was wondering about caulk since it is at a connection, I think. If we have a break in the rain, I may try to dry it off so I can see if water is still seeping out. I discovered this when I was adding bleach...

My pool turned green overnight.:confused: When I went to start the pump in preparation for testing, the Autopilot was off. I checked the breaker, reset it, and started it up. I set up the Polaris to clean and then realized that the pump had stopped again. I had to reset the breaker again and...
