I declare temporary victory. Used the bladder, actually pressure washed the filter, checked impeller. Not sure which did it but running at 2400 rpm @5psi perfectly for now at least.

I guess I suppose that’s quite a bit.

Yes, enough to push debris up and out of the skimmer.

It was dripping a decent drip about once every 10 seconds. Nothing clearing from the lines unless it’s super stuck.

Used the water bladder from pump to skimmer. Found a pretty good drip in the piping into the pool house. Do you think that could be the cause?

Yes, i thought i updated but must have not hit save. Its a couple years old now, the 3/4 pooped out so i snagged a relatively cheap Harris VS https://www.doheny.com/harris-hpe001-inground-vs-variable-speed-pool-pump-one-and-a-half-hp

I took some video today, will post as soon as I figure out how to, now I am unable to get the filter basket to fill fully on any speed. Also ordered the Flusher to give it a go, how do you utilize it to find leaks? 8psi is a hair higher than normal, but expected as I am still clearing out the...

Hello, I have had the least smooth open in my 4 years now. I am on day 3 of SLAM and could just start to see the lowest step. My pump is a new in 2020 doheny VS pump. It sounds normal but has no to very little suction at the skimmer and no pressure from the returns unless it is on boost...

I like being as sustainable as possible so 1hp it is. Now I just have to figure out replumbing but I’ll save that for another post.

would 1hp, be suffecient to also power a potential swg and heat pump down the road? edit: Ill run down and check. I think 240? The control for the pump is the right side.

Ok, I think here is my plan. I am thinking a 1.5hp dual speed, I do need a full new pump as I found a crack in the pump basin. Currently I have no automation, only a switch at the box for on and off. Do I need a timer? Also when I search, it doesnt seem any of the pumps specify if they...

Im still trying to find the source of my leak, I plan to remove the whole pump today for inspection. At this point it is either underground in the lines or somewhere I cant see while its still installed on the pump.

Yeah, I cant find a ton on either pump. I like the idea of the VS because its is a whole package, I dont have any automation at all currently, even the switch is just a breaker box.

My original plan was a two speed but for that slightish bump in price from my reading it seems the VS might last longer from the motor type. Do I need any controllers with it as is? It looked like there was quite a bit of control built into the pumps. Right now my top contender is the...

I would like to grab the new motor. However, I think this pump itself is on the last legs as well. Previous owner rebuilt it quite a few times. Follow up question, it looks like my plumbing is mostly if not all 1.5 inch, whats the best way to verify that?

Hi all, My current pump is dying and I would like to replace with Variable Speed. In my research I have discovered I have either a Sta Rite Max E Glas or Dura Glas, I am unsure which. It has a 3/4 Hp Ao Smith motor. I mainly want to know if I am wrong in thinking I can get a 3/4-1hp...

Not so much an update as more info. My psi in the filter seems pretty low and for a while was pegged at 0, I kinda thought it was a bad gauge but is now showing 1-2. I do admittedly clean the filter obsessively. It also doesn’t seem to have enough to get the keeper krauley going.

I have pretty consistent bubbles coming from the closest return to the pump and filter, occasionally they will come from the far return. I have been trying to find this leak for quite some time now, trickled water over what i could and did so again with shaving cream on the joins. I also...

I oh so badly wish i was in driving distance, hope it makes it to a good home.

I thought I had the ability to send it straight to a waste hose? I could be wrong as its still new to me. I can divert it all straight to the storm drain out front of the house. I can always send it into a 90 gallon tub also.

Update: Water cycled roughly 2/3rds of the water. Refilled back up now. Still no noticeable changes. Going to try a flocculent at the advice of the pool co. After that, no ideas left.

could be but I would have thought it would have given a false super high reading but could be some kind of chemical reaction. Im using submersible now, easier overall since I made a quick connect hose for it.

Follow up question. Any advice on the CYA being unreadable?

Why not both? I'm pretty sure the pump will drain much quicker than the hose will fill.

How far can it safely be lowered considering the liner has been there for less than a week.

Do you think that would clear it? I don't want to say I'm meticulous but I LOATHE ANYTHING but clear water. Drives me insane and I feel dirty.

TF-100, now I am no absolute expert with it but this is what I get following the instruction in it.
