    Help with leaking pump

    After this thread Squealing Pump I decided to have the motor rebuilt after closing, installed but couldn't test. Opened today and water is leaking at the seal plate, I didn't change anything just reconnected using what was there. Sta-rite mpra6e 1 hp could someone tell me the parts I'd need to...

    Squealing Pump

    Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned it's at cold start and it does stop after it's warmed up.

    Squealing Pump

    Pump just started squealing, from a search here it appears to be bearings. I've got 3 more days of running (plus any freeze protection turn ons) before the pool will be closed for the season. Will it last out these few days? Also since this is an 9 year old pump I'd like advice whether I should...

    Minimax NT won't start

    Thanks very much for the reply Paul. Is the capacitor replaceable on its own or am I looking at replacing the whole blower assembly?

    Minimax NT won't start

    Problem started with short cycling which I never figured out now it won't start at all. Went a day without firing next day it ran all day trying to get the temperature back up, then yesterday wouldn't fire again. It will try several times then show an E04 code, if I leave the breaker on it...

    Mustard Algae?

    Will do. I like looking at the pool so if something happens I should notice it quickly. I'll try to grab some of the "stuff" also a picture of it when it comes back. Thanks for the help.

    Mustard Algae?

    Mustard Algae?

    I've read the mustard algae page a few times and others experiences dealing with it. They are in the shady end of the pool. I can retest now the swg was still running when I did the posted tests. Do I run the filter overnight with the swg off or just let it sit overnight? The instructions...

    Mustard Algae?

    An update got my TA down to 130 from two MA treatments (that stuff is wicked) so figure I'll need 2 more to get it into range. I do have a question about my heater, it keeps giving me an E04 error but is working is it okay to keep using it or best to have it serviced to correct the error...

    First Test Results

    I plan on getting some muriatic acid but I had the dry so using it, I thought I was safer adding some and checking rather than getting it too low with dosing too much. With the sock that I've got in there now I've added about 5.5 pounds of cya, I was thinking 50-60 but the link for the swg...

    Still working on getting the PH down, chlorine was 5 today and no appreciable difference in the CYA level. Are these the levels I should be aiming for pool-school/water_balance_saltwater_generator

    Yes sorry I did mean the 2006 kit. Even found that cheaper through this forum, my local pool store wanted to charge more than twice the price I found linked here through Piscines Apollo.

    Well thanks I guess I should have read the instructions better. I do have a jug of 12% chlorine that I was using to shock, I can pour some of that in.

    First Test Results

    Been lurking since last season, reading lots. I had an algae problem with no test kit so I had to use the store's results to try to clear it up. It does look clear now but that's not a true indicator I know. Got my 2600 test kit today and ran the required tests FC 6 CC 1 -not sure how to get .5...
