This post is to publish that the US Seal PS-3868 (ozone/SWG) is compatible with Black & Decker 2HP VS pump. I had a hard time finding info on which seal to install as I didn't want to go with the stock seal again. I just installed PS-3868 today and it's working so far. I run my pump 24/7 on...

Based on them telling you that PS-201 would work, I just ordered PS-3868, which is the upgraded version of PS-201. I hope it fits. This is going to be my 2nd time replacing the seal on my BD 2hp pump, hopefully this time it will work longer than 1 year

Yes, Poolpartstogo was responsive. I'm glad that you sorted your problem out.

The pump was replaced and the new one has no issues.

I'm in WA, It's winter now and algae are growing slow. My SWG is not generating any chlorine due to temperature lock (65). I put in the SWG so I don't have to chase down liquid chlorine any longer and it has worked great until it shut down due to low temperature. If I am able to run it at 10%...

Hello, I got CircuPool RJ60 SWG and it shuts production when the temperature is below 65F. My pool water temperature is in the 40s now and the algae are still growing - the pool is getting greener. Does anyone know of a way to disable the temperature sensor so I can get some chlorine in to clear...

Thank you, I emailed them (Pool Parts To Go)

Hello, I just finished installing a 2hp VS pump and after an hour of running it developed a rattle, I then removed the impaler and cleaned it but that didn't fix the problem. When I rotate the fan in the back of the pump, with impaler taken off, the motor makes a click / clunk once every...

Hello, I'm thinking of moving my waste line to the side, in order to clear up some space for my new pump. The problem is that 2" 90 deg elbow is too close to the multi port valve. If I cut the 90 deg elbow and leave the straight part of it attached to the valve, is there a fitting that would...

I'm leaving brass conduit from the access box by the pool to the light niche alone since that one seems to have no rust or leaks. Also, that one is buried under ground and should keep providing bonding. I'll also run ground wire (along with hot and neutral) from the breaker to the access box and...

Thank you, just placed an order for 2 weir doors, didn't know they were compatible with my skimmers

I might try and stick a camera on a cable through that grate and check it out. The water just needs to warm up a bit before I go in

James, you are right about gazillion years, the grate looks like this

Jim, the suction is fine at both skimmers, a bit better at the one closer to the pump, no weir door on either, skimmers probably from before weir doors became the thing. I found SQ 8650 marking on them (Swim Quip brand?)

Jim, would the drain help with cleaning the bottom of the pool? I was hoping to be able to brush stuff towards the deep end and to have it sucked in by the drain and run through the filter. I have 10 huge pine trees around the pool with a lot of fallout. James, that pipe runs to the capped port...

Yes, only one pipe into main pump, the connection is underground somewhere. I tried opening the plug in the pic below with big pliers but it won't budge. Is there something I can get in the big box store that would help me unscrew it? it's a square nub, 1"x1"?

Thanks Jim, this pool is from 60s/70s and the hole closest to the pool was plumbed to the pad. I'm not happy with the overall circulation in the pool so I'm trying to improve it with enabling the drain. The pool is 40x20ft and has 2 skimmers, 2 returns, drain, smallish filter / pump / piping so...

Hello, My main drain is not pulling any water so it's either closed or clogged. I tried sticking drain king bladder through the pump intake while blocking both skimmers but that didn't open the drain up. Then I read that sometimes a skimmer would be connected to the drain but I have the second...

Thank you! I didn't know about brass but now it makes sense - that middle conduit seems fine (it would also be hardest to replace). I pulled the light out and the socket is corroded. I ordered a new fixture (Pentair Amerlite) from inyourpools to replace it. I will replace the emt (galvanized)...

Hello, I have acquired a pool that's built in 60s-70s that is in need of a lot of TLC. Just thinking about the stuff that's needed gives me a headache. I've decided to focus instead on smaller, easier to achieve things, like upgrading the pump and fixing the lights. Regarding the lights, there...
