That makes sense. I can never hear my old 1.65 from outside the poolhouse anyway, unless it's turned way up for skimming (I think I used like 3400rpm or so), which is rare and if it bothers us because we're nearby I just kick it down, but that rarely ever happened. So 1.7HP and in stock and 5...

Active Pool Supply doesn't have any either. Sure would be cool if these people's websites actually reflected their stock levels, but then they're less likely to get your money for something they don't have I guess. Any thoughts on whether the 3HP would actually improve my skimming ability or...

Nobody local, I checked the other day. And none of those pumps are in stock, despite saying they are. I called a few days ago. They're waiting on them on a boat from China.

I placed an order about 4 weeks ago with Propool for a Calimar 3hp to replace my 1.65 VSP. However, it's apparently backordered and they keep moving the time frame on me, currently saying early May it'll get to them, after originally saying it would be in last week. So maybe second week of May...

Thanks, looks promising. I assume since I have 2" quick disconnects on my previous pump, I can just unscrew the pump side and re-use those unions, and any other plumbing I need to adjust for distances and stuff I can just grab from the local hardware store, right?

Hello, I purchased PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP Salt PL2625 in 2019. Last season I attempted to rebuild it because I had a slow leak at the pump/motor interface I wanted to fix, so I might as well do the bearing and stuff too. There were some issues and back and forth with...

Pleas see this thread for the previous issues. Summary, when I opened this year in April I had a leak from the pump/motor junction. I went ahead and used the rebuild kit to replace everything since I had it open anyway. The kit they sent me maybe had a defective seal at the junction, but I was...

I guess when the temp is low early in the season I end up with a pretty low CSI if I run towards 350. Looks like once it's warm I can run 400 though, so I'll let it drop to there. If it ever rains, that is.

Fill is 75. And yeah, I add lots of calcium during the year to get it up where I need it. Maybe in the fall I'll let the CH fall a decent bit towards the bottom of the range before I close. Dilute if I need to.

Yep, it fizzled like crazy from just a splash. Good to know. I'll work on lowering it a bit and brushing and running the robot. What can I do over next winter to prevent it? Is there some way to keep CSI good with the pool closed?

Cell was removed, plates are fine. I'll drop some acid on it. I suspected that running slightly negative would work. Unfortunately I tend to run slightly positive, lol. CH is like 575. So I need a decently low pH to get negative. Plus then the generator constantly pushes it up.

Wasn't sure if I should put this into here or Under Construction or elsewhere, feel free to move it. Pool was renovated last June, new plaster, coping, tile. Plaster is KrystalKrete if it matters. I brushed and did everything I was supposed to last year, it was good and smooth and nice when we...

Cleaned, acid cleaned, back together. Probably buy new grids for next time since a few had broken ribs in a few places. Nothing major. When I was putting the manifold on before putting it back in the tank it seemed one grid kept falling out, but once it was in the tank everything tightened up a...

Good to know. Thanks. So I'll grab some of that when I get extra acid and a bigger trash can tomorrow. How do you know when they're dirty enough to clean? Most of it looks pretty white but some sections are still brown after spraying with the hose. Maybe if there's downside to the acid I'm...

This was at least 5 seasons (that's how many I've had and I never got around to deep cleaning it). Grids cleaned up relatively well but I'm gonna acid soak them tomorrow just to get whatever stains and stuff I can get off. Might as well at this point. Grids seem to be in good shape. I guess I'll...

Nope. Still leaking. I removed it. Cleaned it up. Relubed, reseated it flat against the motor side (ignored the slit on the pump side that the old gasket seated into). Tightened it until the bolts were screaming. No luck. Gonna see if they can send me something better I guess.

Well, I replaced it all today, some good news, some bad. The good, all the pieces fit, except for the housing gasket, the one thing I was actually trying to fix. The one they sent is completely flat, the old one is T shaped. They're the right diameter. The old one was so stretched out I can see...

So I never would've found it on my own. Apparently since the Pureline are just knockoff Hayward pumps, you have to check the Hayward models, but you have to know which one. Apparently mine is a Super Pump knockoff, so you get the rebuild kit for the Super Pump...

Thanks. That link is for 2705 and the strainer basket looks very different. Mine is 2625. https://www.inyopools.com/partlisting/pureline-prime-pump There's no rebuild kit shown. But the gasket is part 12 looks like.

Yep. I messed it up probably. Leaks pretty good at high pump speeds. I'm still running it and got chlorine in, but it's not gonna last the season leaking that badly. PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP Salt Friendly PL2625 is what my invoice says. Video here, pictures below. Both...
