Thanks very much James for your reply. Not the answer that I was hoping for, but I’m going to send a message to the place that sold us this pump to see if they will do an exchange. Thanks!

Update: I took the pump apart and there was a part of the impeller seal that had moved an inch or so down onto the silver bar that spins (unsure of name), I moved it back into place against the impeller and put everything back together. No more leaking from the pump. however, there is no change...

Thanks everyone. I’ve read a bit about cavitation, and that seems to make sense. Is it possible that our 1hp pump is too powerful for our 1.5” (supplied) piping that came with the pool kit? I had asked about two-speed pumps and they were sold out. 🤦‍♀️ I can’t find any sort of blockage at the...

I was able to post a video to YouTube of the sound difference, here: Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Thank you wireform! I’ll attach some photos and hopefully a short video if I can. this morning I noticed there’s a slow leak coming out of the pump housing. This pump is brand new (2 weeks) - is a leak normal at all?

Hi! We have a brand new AGP and Raypak 1.0 HP pump and sand filter. The pump makes a gravelly/marble churning sort of sound even when it appears to be primed with no air bubbles. One way I found that makes that sound go away completely, is to turn the inlet valve at the pool (return line) so...

Okay, thanks to everyone for your help! I’ll update after I find the answer so if this thread comes up in a search for someone, it may be of help!

Thank you! Since the inspector is coming today, I guess I’ll just have to see what they say. yes, it’s a plug in type with two prongs plus the ground.

What would the part look like that may have fallen off?

Thank you Casey. I ordered it online unfortunately. I called Raypak to ask but haven’t heard back yet. Maybe I’ll try calling the company I bought it through. thanks again!

Thank you!! Yes I wondered what was in there! Tried my best to get a photo. There’s a hole, and there’s also a little post sticking out that is threaded on the inside it would appear.

Hi everyone, I have a new Raypak RCAGP100 pump. 1 HP My electrician came yesterday and bonded my above ground pool, but he did not attach it to the pump because he couldn’t see a lug on it. Now I’m worried we won’t pass out inspection today. I’ll attach some photos. Any help is so appreciated!

Thank you! Do you think (with possible winter ground movement) that the pavers are a good idea, or better to put the track and supports right on the packed limestone?

Hello! This is my first post here. I have been reading lots and doing many different searches, and I’m still not sure I know what is best for the base of our above ground pool. It is an 18x52 steel wall pool. The “soil” in my city is clay. If it’s wet, it sticks to everything and stays in huge...
