Thank you, I'll take a look at the amperage. The wire going from T1 on the compressor contractor to the compressor capacitor was fried. After about a month of usage with no issues, I turned on the heat pump the other day and heard and saw sparkling from behind the panel. I opened it up to see...

I apologize. I had notifications turned off and forgot to check the thread a few days after I fixed the issue. Thank you so much for your helpful replies. This was the wiring that I ended up finding and using.

Sorry. I had notifications off for the thread and forgot to check the thread after a few days. The heater has been up and down throughout the season due to different issues. I have had sporadic issues with mice in the heater for the ten years since it was installed. I have been fixing it as I...

Hi everyone, I have a Hayward Heatpro HP21104T heater that recently stopped heating. The fan turns on but the compressor doesn't kick in. I removed the panel to test the usual components (contactor, capacitor, low voltage signal) and noticed that the wiring from the contactor to the capacitor...

Exactly the kind of input that I was looking for. Thank you very much!

Hi Everyone, I have a 17000 gallon fiberglass pool that currently has a Tristar pump (SP3210EE). I would like to make the jump to a vs pump but am unsure whether to just get the Tristar VS900 or the VS950. My only skimmer is 10 ft from the pump and my return line is through the Paramount...

I have a 2003ish Sundance Altamar that shows a "FLO" error and the temp is dropping from the set point. It was emptied and refilled about a month ago and the filter was cleaned with no issues until I opened it today. The temp is set at 101 but was at 82 with the accompanied error code. I shut...

Thank you! When you refer to "snug, flush, level and tighten", you are referring to properly securing the proprietary Schrader stoppers for the Paramount, correct? Also, at the end when you reference "releasing the air in the spring" are you referring to the pin spring in the Schrader? Wouldn't...

So sorry. I thought that this thread hadn't gotten any replies as I didn't see any notifications come up. I just happened to revisit my search and saw the responses. Thank you for your reply. I ordered the Cyclone as it seems to be the best tool for most of the job of closing. I do have the...

Last season the pool company charged me $800 to close my pool. The season before was $350 but it jumped up when they realized that my pool was fiberglass and had the paramount cleaning system. Thinking ahead, I want to close it myself in the fall and was wondering if it's possible to get an...

Closing the valve didn't end up working. Called someone out and it ended up being a fried contactor. HVAC tech speculated that the aluminum wiring that is used runs hotter and could have been the cause. Didn't know for sure, though. Just wanted to update the post for anyone down the road. Thanks...

That's what I suspected. Thank you so much for your help!

Sorry, stupid me. The picture that I posted was after I closed the lower valve. I couldn't get a low enough resolution to be able to post and I grabbed the wrong one. This is what it looked like after the pool company opened it. The lower valve was open.

Would there generally be a delay when the compressor kicks in from when I hit the button. I am hearing a clunk sound at the same time that the fan goes on. My recollection is that there was a delay from when the compressor kicks in but maybe not. I also just noticed that there is an open loop in...

No automation set up. Just manual button. From my recollection the compressor is supposed to kick on after the fan, correct? The fan goes on but nothing kicks in after that. I have a multi meter. How could I determine the current draw of the unit? If that would still be helpful in this...

Thanks so much! I may try to tackle the diagnostic myself. Hayward doesn't seem to have any authorized service people within 90 minutes or so from me. I had someone come out and replace a switch last season to the tune of $700. So if I can find something to swap myself that would work.

Hello all! I have a Hayward HP21104T heat pump that seemed to stop heating late last season. Since the swimming season was just about over I had decided to not address it until I opened again this year. Well, here we are. Everything runs and no error codes are coming up but it does not heat the...
