Let me give an update. I purchased the Intermatic P653RC and expansion module P5043ME. I went down this path because: 1. It was the only one that had documented support for Century VS motors (with using P504ME expansion) 2. I have 2 intermaitc mechanical timers with enclosures, so this would...

In my opinion. swapping a motor is less trouble than re plumbing. I decided to swap out my DE filter for a cartridge filter. I thought this would be an easy plumb job. The inlet and outlet are swapped for DE and Cartridge. It took me forever to do this simple job because I do not do it every...

You might be able to swap out the motor of your existing pump. That's what I did because I didn't have much room to re plumb. I bought the Century V165 variable speed motor and a new seal ($12). It was an easy DIY, there are many videos, but you do need 220V for this motor. The down side is...

Let me give an update: I received the bypass valve replacement from poolsupplyworld. It is a disk shaped piece of plastic with a shaft. After removing the inlet and outlet pipes, I could see into the outlet area and found the what remained of the old bypass valve. It was just the shaft portion...

That is some great information, at least using Zwave seems possible, but not easy. I have a Vera controller, and I see some folks have this working, but others report problems. This thread for example: PE653 Intermatic It seems very dependent on the firmware of the PE563. Even if I don't get...

Thanks for the feedback. Regarding V-Link, I did not see much value in that for me. It only lets you control the motor. I would like to add automation, such as: Pool mode, spa mode, cleaning mode, solar mode With that will need actuators and other circuit controls. Thanks for feedback for...

I see a few posts when I do a search of people trying to get the Century A.O. Smith V-Green motor to work with their specific automation system, but the threads just died. I am referring to this motor: A.O. Smith 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Square Flange - ECM16SQU - INYOPools.com I...

I have an old Teledyne Laars Mark V heater that is still ticking. It was working fine until recently, when turned on it starts to knock and vibrate like crazy when it heats up. I checked the bypass valve inside the inlet/outlet header, and it was not all there. This valve seems to work by having...

I also found this variable speed motor that Inyo says is compatible to my model: A.O. Smith 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pool Pump Motor Square Flange - ECM16SQU - INYOPools.com That is $400. However that looks like a 47Y frame. I guess those can work because they are smaller? I looked at some Jandy...

Thanks, I was hoping to avoid any plumbing work, it is a really tight fit. Perhaps alternative options are a 2 speed motor or if I can find an exact physical match for a complete pump, which seems unlikely. I was thinking something like this 2 speed: A.O. Smith 1 HP Energy Efficient Dual Spd...

I have a Jandy SHPF 1.0 pool pump that is making a loud noise when running. This pump was here before we moved it. It did work fine until it recently started making the loud noise. I suspect it is the bearings in the motor causing this but that is just a guess. I would like to replace the motor...

I am in a similar situation, and based on my experience I don't have a lot of confidence in the Compupool CPSC series. Here is my history with the Compupool CPSC-48: October, 2011 Installed, no problems working fine May, 2012 Cell melted through at red terminal, causing breach in cell and water...

Sorry for the long delay, but I did get the replacement cover. I did have to contact customer service a few times and send some pictures, and then follow up again, but did get a packaged delivered. I left it all packaged up until this past weekend, opened it and installed the new cover. So far...

Re: Do not order from www.solarcovers.com Thanks for everyone's advice for me to contact customer service. I did and they told me to send in a picture of the cover. I did, and they said they would send to the manufacturer for replacement. I will update this thread if they in fact do replace it.

I purchased a solar cover from solarcovers.com. I thought purchasing online would be OK and cheaper. However, after two weeks, the bubbles in this cover have become deflated. In fact, it is worse the the cover I replaced. So some advice, the quality of this cover is not good. Is there any...

I received the new thermostat and thought it would be a simple part replacement. However, I discovered the dimension of the thermostat would not fit into my existing temperature control enclosure. I guess my model is older and they slightly changed the enclosure, making it a bit bigger in newer...

I was able to find a new one on eBay for $50 + $8 shipping and ordered it. It is the mechanical type, same as I have now, Jandy part # R0318800. I will give an update after it arrives and I install.

Thanks for the link Paul! They had a link to the manual and I was able to troubleshoot my problem as being caused by the thermostat. Here is where I am at so far: I could not unscrew the pilot assembly near the burner/pilot light area. I could only unscrew the connection near the gas valve. So...

I was doing some more investigation and have some updated info and pics. Pilot light: I believe the pilot light is not working properly. The fire comes from the bottom holes, I think that is where the air is supposed to be mixed with NG. It seems my pilot is plugged or something is preventing...

I have a Teledyne Laars Mark V pool heater that has stopped working. Here is more info: Moved into the house about 1 year ago. The last time we used the heater was about 4 months ago, it worked fine and fired up. Gas to heater has been turned off over the summer. Tried today to fire it up and...

Re: Problem draining pool, air may be coming in from skimmer Thanks for the reply. The main drain seems to be plugged into the skimmer, as plugging them does not help. So now my problem is where do I find replacement O-Ring for my skimmer so my diverter can make a good seal? The skimmer is...

I am a new pool owner (just moved) and have been reading this site for some great info. The previous owner was using trichlor tabs in a floater, and when I measured the CYA it was >100, so hard to tell actual level as the scale on Taylor kit does not cover the level I see. It may be as high as...
