It really only seems to trip when it's changing speeds. From what I read that could be due to "noise" in the line. Hoping that's all it is

That's exactly what I'll try! I was able to coax the pump into running at low speeds finally yesterday evening. I'll give this a shot next weekend and report back.

Hey all! I have a brand new 110 volt variable speed pump for the above ground pool. Here is the pump I have https://www.doheny.com/doheny-pool-pro-vs-variable-speed-above-ground-pool-pump and the GFCI outlet I have...

Hey all! I wanted to provide a review on the Black and Decker 1HP Variable Speed Above Ground Pool Pump. This was ordered and arrived to the doorstep exactly 14 days ago 8/27. We had a Hayward 1.5HP single Speed motor with bearing whine so wanted to make the jump to Variable speed for cost...

Hey all! I currently have this hose Pentair 155710 Pump to Filter Assembly Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GT7NAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0V472A8D7JZ05C7Z7BED It’s dry rotted after 3 years in the sun so I’m thinking about going the pvc route since it should last...

Honestly I'm not entirely sure but there's definitely a leak. Most of this is tied up in insurance "heck" right now. So have to wait for that to get settled before I can really go any further. I have a family friend that is a pool installer/maintainer and also spoke with another business in...

And verdict is we need a new liner. Welp darn lol

Hard to tell as we've had a ton of rain. I'll go look in a bit. Pretty sure there's a leak in there. My question is if the leak is found is there an easy way to suck out the air/water behind the liner and set it back tight how it should be?

Hey all! I have a 24 foot round pool with a loose liner around the whole pool. We recently had a tornado and some of our neighbors metal shed, along with other various debris, ended up in our pool. Fast forward two weeks later and the entire liner is loose like a very wrinkley old person skin...

I’m thinking this is the exact hose Pentair 155710 Pump to Filter Assembly Replacement Pool and Spa Sand Filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008GT7NAC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JH9N55XGFF8AHKS270DQ Any harm in just swapping that out as is since it’s plug and play?

Hey all! This hose is dry rotting and needs to be replaced before summer. It looks and feels that way at least so I would like to be a bit proactive. Any help on what this hose is or links to where this can be purchased would be greatly appreciated!

And pool is clean and clear as of this morning! The worst part of this job was the spring under the multiport valve handle. Had to put the shipping box on the floor and use my feet to compress the spring while blindly trying to get the set screw in for the handle. Outside of that this was a...

Welp found the problem and Texas Splash you were right about the diverter piece for the multiport valve. I have everything except the top o ring to go over the spring. That should be here any minute since our mail runs early. I’ll post pics once this is all put back together

And parts ordered with pool lube. Hoping it'll be here in time for the weekend. Thankfully this is all at the top of the filter housing so in theory it shouldn't be TOO difficult. Also glad it's cooler outside still so that'll help too! Thanks again!

Thanks so much for that! That looks to be exactly what I'll need! Figure I'll replace the O ring and spring while it's apart. Now my next question is should I lube up the spider gasket on the bottom and the o ring on top?

I’m thinking this would be pentair gasket 271104 for the spider gasket and 272541 for the oring? Also I’ve seen mentions of gasket sealer and superglue to hold the spider gasket in place. Which ones have you used and what do you feel is better for this application?

Hey all! I have a leak in the sand filter diverter piece. The valve on top is working but it’s not sealing closed. It finally failed and no matter what I do water is coming out of the backwash/waste port regardless of the valve setting. All the YouTube videos I’ve seen so this to be the spider...

Hey all! I have an abundance of Keg Lube and would like to know if it would be safe/effective to use for the gasket on the Chlorinator. It's a Hayward CL100 I find I get a bit more life out of the gaskets with pool lube than without it. If I don't use pool lube I'll get 1 use per gasket. These...

Hey all! My chlorinator O ring has a slow leak that is currently fixed. However, it's days are numbered. I'm good for now but next time I open the chlorinator I may not be so lucky. Current O ring is almost a year old, gunky, and showing signs of normal wear. It's getting harder and harder to...

PS Yes that's a cut piece of pvc on my power cord. We installed the power plug on the wrong side. That means the cord rests on the pump. I used a cut piece of conduit pvc to act as an insulator to keep the power wire from melting or shorting to the pump

Hello fellow pool enthusiasts! I ran into an issue last night where my 4 month old Hayward pool pump would him and not kick over. After searching online the consensus was it's either a stuck impeller or a start capacitor issue. Well the impeller spun freely and there is not a start capacitor so...

Just wanted to post so far so good. It's been 3 days since the GFCI breaker was taken out. I pulled the GFCI breaker out and put in a normal 20 amp Siemens breaker (the $4 kind at Lowes). The only reason I got Siemens is I saw that name mentioned with the GFCI breakers as fixes so figured why...

In this case it's the gfci breaker tripping so I wanted to take that out of the loop and leave the gfci receptacle in place to see if that fixed the issue first. I'm thinking it's just an over zealous gfci breaker :) *fingers crossed on that anywho*
