Thanks again for your help. I took the top off of this valve and inspected the o-ring it looked good. I also put silicone on the o-ring. I replaced the top and then did some testing on the pump. When turned like this, the skimmer is entirely off. Testing the pump again with the valve...

Thanks v much this is why I love this site. I did not follow : I now see that the valve is constructed so that you cannot shut off both the skimmer line and the main line at the same time. With both lines open gauge is at 10. With the main line shut off the gauge stayed at 10. With the...

My pump gauge rides at 9. When I move the Jandy valve so that the main valve is 80% cut off, and I'm mostly pulling on the skimmer line, it stays at 9. When I move the valve so that the skimmer is 80% cut off and the pump is jpulling mostly on the main line, the gauge goes down to five...

I will order a 073127 if I can't find one locally. Regarding the air inflow being blocked by leaves and whatnot, I think the pool pump needs to come out of the ground and be re-set on gravel or something and that area re-graded. Thanks to everyone who pointed out that my pool pump is too low.

Thanks for all of your comments. They completely surprised me this morning by giving me a new AO 100ELL pump motor. They are still convinced the failure of the motor installed in Nov. of 2020 was the result of some sort of problem in the wiring around the motor and not the motor itself. It...

I replaced the impeller and the problem is still there. Pump ran for 35 minutes and shut off. I should have taken the temp of the casing but did not do that. At this point, the people at the plumping place where I bought this suspect some sort of wiring issue. I have checked continuity of...

So, just to recap............ I had a motor which was over loaded but functioning. After about 8 months of use, it started cutting out after one hour of use. Can you look into your crystal ball, James W, and tell me. Is this motor now damaged? I expect to be going into the shop where I...

On Friday you said the service factor was 1.25. I finally got that impeller off after I finally finally figured out it I needed to twist the impeller counter clockwise with my hand. There was no Philips head screw to remove as I was expecting. I used a 7/16 open wrench to grip the motor shaft...

You said in a comment on Friday that the total HP of my A100ELL motor was 1.25. According to the chart, the HP required to operate the 073128 impeller is 1. Now you are telling me to get a smaller impeller, I presume like the 073127 which works with a 3/4 HP motor?? I just want to check - -...

Nice ideas Mike I will be working on all of that. Thanks for the informative and well sourced reply James! I had never noticed the label on the other side of the pump but here it is: Model # is WF-26. It's very old so I'm sure the impeller is not original. It seems to me I would need to...

Thanks for all the information. The idea that the pump isn't well suited for the other components had not occurred to me and must be considered. The capacitor seems to be in good condition. There is a glare on the paint of the capacitor in all photos I take of the motor. No bulging on the...
