I am in the process of replacing my plumbing due to too many fittings by the pb and needing a new pump. He did not isolate the heat pump initially. Should I have bypass or isolation valves put in the plumbing circuit when I hook it up? If so when would I need to turn it off? Thanks!

2" pipe for everything. I put in a check valve after he finally gave up. This has helped quite a bit with priming. I am going to clean up the plumbing in general while I put in the new pump. We are about to go to court as the water feature was never finished, along with quite a few other...

It is a fairly large waterfall. Not sure of the flow rate. However it has always seemed underpowered. The pump is about 3 feet above the waterline.

The ecostar is the one I have been looking at. I currently have a 1 1/2 hp single speed pump. I doubt that my pool builder really figured out the requirements on my pool. He actrually went through three pumps putting it in because he could not get them to prime. He originally had a 3/4 hp...

Unfortunately the pump is shot too. I have to upgrade the whole assembly. Not sure of my kWh cost. I will try to look that up.

I have the hayward Pro Logic controller with salt system and I need to replace my pump assembly. I am looking to upgrade to a variable spped pump. What pump will interface with this system the easiest? I have a 20000 gal pool and a water feature. no polaris output or other accessories...

I have a hayward prologic system and the main board was recently replaced. There are no errors showing. We just had several days of rain and the chlorine generator has been set at 50% running 24 hours a day. I tested the chlorine level today and it is negligible. Does this seem right? If I...

Is it just an issue of discolored cylinders with the FAS-DPD? There is no interference with the other tests if I use the same cylinder and replace it periodically?

I have accumulated a fairly complete test kit and am curious as if there is any problem using the same graduated cylinder to perform all the different tests that I do. I have a kit that tests Chlorine, Bromine (Using MPS removal drops), TA, Calcium hardness, Salt, and phosphates all using drop...

If I was to replace the entire pump, how do I go about sizing it for my pool?

Hayward is finally (hopefully) sending me a new board to replace the old main PCB under warranty.

Yes, the flow was acceptable with the original pump/motor combination. I can't remember why the original pump was replaced. Honestly I think it was because of a "shotgun" approach to diagnosing a problem. this was two years ago. last year the pump had to be replaced due to overheating as...

The motor is the replacement motor. I do not have the old motor. I assume the impeller was replaced using the standard replacement parts but I am not sure. I know the pool guy doing the work had no idea about matching anything.

Spa is completely seperate. Waterfall and pool both run off this pump on a three way valve. Waterfall could be slightly more flow but is acceptable.

Motor is AO Smith USQ1152. Pump is Sta-rite P6E6F-207L. Pics of plates attached.

I have a sta-rite 1.5 HP pump and the motor was replaced last year with a generic 1.5 motor. Last year the pump also had to be rebuilt because it had run hot and melted some of the parts at the impeller. The motor is still working but runs VERY hot and occasionally will shut off. I am...

I wonder if that is a standard 2" pipe? what I need is just one of the fittings off of the end of this blank.

I know this is an old thread but... I am looking for the opposite side of the union to be able to connect where the Tcell connects and extend the plumbing. Does anyone know if this is available?

The whole system shuts off and the display starts back at the default menu. There is no alarm. If on the chlorinator output screen it shows all zeros then instantly goes to the default menu screen. It does not actually blank out. I visually inspected the relay but I have not tested voltage...

I have had the Tcell tested and it passed too.

Thanks for the input. I will look into those. These SAVIs wire into an external transformer as well tho. Just have been nothing but problems since I put them in.

The board looks perfect. Clean and shiny solder joints. K1 relay looks fine too.

What I mean is when the chlorinator comes on, the pump and pool lights as well as landscaping lights that are on a breaker in the panel all shut off for three seconds. then come back on. as the chlorinator countdown counts they run fine, but as soon as the count hits zero and the chlorinator...

Did you ever find a solution for this problem? I am having the same problem. Anytime my chlorinator starts up it kicks the pump off too.

UPDATE: I have looked at the solder connection and it is fine. I have cleaned the cell with no change. I have put my old cell back in and it resets too. When it went bad it quit working but the system was not resetting with it. I do get a low temperature message briefly but no other...

I am having the same problem. Did you ever resolve this issue?

Is there an android app?

I'll give it a try.
