    New Pump Overheated, Won't Turn On

    I had an issue with my old 1081 CT1102 1 HP motor. I wasn't able to fix it, and ultimately ended up replacing it with a new UCT1102, which is just the more eco-friendly version of the one I had. I installed the new pump and turned it on. I kept an eye on it for about ten minutes and everything...

    Capacitor lead disconnected

    The pump was humming and shutting off, so I went to remove the capacitor to test it, and as I pulled off the leads, one of them just popped off (see the included pic).

    Bolt Inserts Spinning Free

    I have a Hayward Super II that started leaking. When trying to remove the motor to replace the seal and o-rings, four of the six bolts must have been overtightened, because the inserts are just spinning. I can pry the case off about an inch before it hits the back wall, enough to see it in...
