No, I cannot.

Video uploaded to youtube (). The pump is a variable speed pump - issue exists at all speeds. Yes, I checked and lubed the lid gasket.

No sound for that area. I did check all the fittings, including re-taping and lubing gaskets. No change.

The pump clearly has air in it (you can see the stream of water entering the pump basket). Filter pressure generally reads between 0-2psi. It will shoot up to around 10psi; which has typcally indicated the need to backwash. I've checked and lubed all gaskets (haven't inspected filter pressure...

Ground is level so the rise is only 1-2 feet (difference in height from top of skimmer to pump). I just did a more accurate distance measurement and it's 82 feet from skimmer to pump.

Equipment pad photos attached. There's not much to it.

No significant elevation change - pretty level. No check valve to my knowledge (unless it's buried).

Purchased a home with an inground pool a few years ago and ever since I've had trouble getting my pump to fully prime (both new and old pump). I've inspected every above-ground junction/connection/gasket to no avail. I'm wondering if my pump and filter setup (in the garage about 100 feet from...

I backwash my filter once every 6-weeks during the summer (pool is only open late May - late September). Thorough cleaning at the end of the season. Rarely does filter pressure rise 30%. So the only downside of a small filter is more regular cleaning? No impact on filtration if properly...

Assuming I have a 26,000 gallon pool, is my existing DE filter so completely inadequate that it would make sense to upgrade to a larger cartridge or sand filter now?

Thanks. Actually, just reran the math on my pool size and it's definitely closely to 26,000 gallons than 33,000 gallons.

Had to replace the bottom tube sheet in my Hayward EC65a and noticed that several (25-35) filter fingers are cracked near the top. I'm not adverse to replacing some of them (those that are so cracked I can't fit them back into the tube sheet); however, 35 filter fingers adds up to some $$$...

Thank you ajw22 - that information is helpful. Does anyone have any thoughts on Harris or Doheny pumps?

I currently have an older Hayward Super Pump (1 hp, single speed) that I'll be replacing with a VS pump as I transition to SWG. I have two questions: (1) Is there any advantage to paying more for a 3HP VS vs going with a 1.5HP or 1.65HP VS pump? (2) What have people's experiences been with...

I currently have a pool pump with 1.5" input/output ports and a DE filter with 1.5" ports. I'm considering upgrading the pump to a VS and the one I'm looking at has 2" input/output ports. Is this a no-go given the port size of my filter? Or is it ok to reduce the output of the pump to the...

Would that be the PureLine PL2626 (Salt Friendly)?

I'll be making the jump to a SWG with an RJ-60 PLUS. At the same time, I'll be installing a new pump. Inyopools recommended that I get a PureLine Prime Variable Speed Pool Pump 1.65 HP - PL2605 as a variable speed replacement for my current pump. Do you foresee any issues with me going with...

Thank you! How difficult is swapping the existing motor for a 2-speed or variable speed motor? I'm relatively handy and can follow instructions well - but am far from a mechanic.

Recently moved in to a home with a 33,000 gallon in ground pool. The pump, although working fine, is a Hayward Super Pump C48K2N143B1. As the pump is likely entering its twilight years, I'm contemplating upgrading to a variable speed or two-speed replacement. I also hope to my the transition...
