This was one of the top Google results when I just searched "pool pump freezing noise". I'm in Houston with the same pump, same age, and same noise, except mine is continuous with no breaks. Good luck to all of us.

Can you elaborate more on this? I've sent in my S300 to be repaired, but am not optimistic for its timely and working return. Have you repaired or rebuilt your DNCC+? How was that experience? What makes you say this model is owner repairable in comparison to others? Thanks in advance.

In the mix.

I'm looking to resurface my pool with Stonescapes Aqua Blue. I'd like to spring for the Puerto Rico blend (PRB) and abalone shell. My builder is asking if I want 1 or 2 bags of PRB in the mix, saying "the biggest difference being the more Puerto Rico blend per mix the more you will see it". (The...

Hmm, but then the thread title won't give people the right idea of my new questions. People skimming the thread list will see an unrelated title with a bunch of comments and figure there's nothing they can add. Right?

The air bubble completely disappears if I open the return to the pool. I guess that answers my original question. Now I'm left with new questions about how to balance suction, return, and pump speed to keep the pool acceptably clean at minimum cost, but I'll start a new thread for them.

I'm planning a renovation of my pool and deck. I have a good idea of what look I want to achieve, but I don't know the names of anything involved. Please take a look at the pool shown at 0:15 of this video. - What material is used for the wall? - What material is used for the coping? Is it the...

I last backwashed November 13. I'm planning to take apart the filter tomorrow to check the gaskets and filter panels and order replacements if necessary. Right now I send all of the return to my spa. I've attached them. There are no check valves anywhere in my system.

I've backwashed it several times in the interim. When I say "clean", I'm talking about a full disassembly. I was under the impression that backwashing needs to be done when pressure rises, but cleaning can wait much longer, e.g. once a year. Even when all suction ports are open, the bubble...

I put the filter in recirculate mode, ran the pump at max speed, and even closed the skimmer lines. The bubble didn't change at all. When the pump was off, the bubble did not appear to grow larger.

I cleaned it May 8 of this year. Opened it up, hosed down all the panels, reassembled, recharged. Hayward Super II. Inyopools told me it was the right motor for that pump. Right, I'm familiar with all the gaskets from my experience cleaning it in May. What might that problem be? I'm getting...

It primes at mid-speed (default 2600 RPM, configurable, I left it there) and then moves into the scheduled speed. I have 2 hours of a faster speed in my schedule, which I think does a better job skimming, then 10 hours at a slower speed. How do I judge this? I can feel something, but not much...

I just went outside and ran the pump at max speed, 3450 RPM, for a few minutes. It never finished priming. I'm guessing there must be an air leak somewhere on the suction side? How can I find it? I had resealed the lid this morning with lube, and the lid gasket is young from replacement back in...

I installed a Century VGreen 270 variable speed pump motor earlier this year in my Hayward Super II pump housing. Lately I've noticed that the pump never seems to achieve full prime. There is always a bubble that fills at least the dome of the lid, as can be seen in this video. What is causing...

I replaced that seal when I replaced the motor in January. This is the kit I used.

I replaced my pool pump motor (but not housing) a couple months ago. I noticed it was leaking, reseated it and tightened the screws even tighter than before, and it seemed to be good after that. Then Winter Storm Uri came through Texas and burst a couple of my pipes. I was without power for 36...

I installed a new motor for my pool pump, a Hayward Super II. I have a SWCG, so I bought the saltwater gasket kit. I installed the new motor, changing all the gaskets. (The large-diameter thin-wall housing gasket was the hardest with only two hands.) After turning on the pump, noticed a small...

I have a Hayward Super II pump that just died while I was away for New Year's. The model is SP3015X20AZ. It was powered by a single-speed Century 2 HP motor, model SP1615Z1MBK / C48M2N111A3. I would like to replace it with a variable-speed motor. Based on my search, I could replace just the...
