You should probably change breaker even though u got pump working. Breakers are only made to trip a certain amount of times before they lose resistance. Your breaker will probably will be fine for years but for 20bucks it’s worth changing. You are protecting a pump that cost much more

R u taking the black and red from the breaker to the motor? It sounds like you r by passing the relay. Try doing steps 11-16 first so the relay is wired correctly. Then do the first steps 1-10 which will bring power to relay. Steps 11-16 have nothing to do with the black and red wires from...

Where is digital temp located? If it’s on door it may not be accurate. I have. Master built propane smoker , door reads 225-250 but I put oveN thermoter in it and it was reading 165-175. I read most thermometers that come with smokers aren,t accurate. It seems like 300 on door. Is a perfect 225.

did you ever figure out your electrical problem?

is there a 2 pole breaker feeding the subpanel? if so you have 240v. is there a breaker you shut off to kill the power to your sub-panel? if that breaker is 2 pole you have 240v. this is pretty common. you can then put a 2 pole breaker in the sub-panel for your motor. this wouldnt even be a 1...

you should call an electrician to change your main house breaker, unless you can pull your meter. the wires coming into the breaker are live. you need to disconnect at meter, you may need the utility to do that. does any of the wiring look loose or rusted?

a 230v motor should draw about 12amps. does the breaker handle seem loose? breakers are only made to trip a certain amount of times then they lose resistance. i would replace breaker to be safe, when it stops tripping is when problems occur. im assuming this is wired to a 20 amp branch breaker...

i cleaned grids twice since Sunday, is this normal to have grits covered in algae? pool was closed green last year because of motor issues. backwashing seems to bring pressure back to normal but not for long. its a 53sqft filter i think i should be putting in 5lbs of de, but that seems to be...

bought a weber genesis 330 with sear burner, it's just a great grill. what I found out is weber doesn't discount their products because they don't have to, and I agree with I have had grill for a year and 1/2 I think I already got my moneys worth. I payed the 950 for the 3 burner with sear, the...

I would switch the gfci out and in the panel switch breaker to a gfci type. if you tell me brand of panel I can help you with that. not sure about question with the pavers, where do you think the voltage would come from? everything you installed in patio should have a ground, meaning the voltage...

ph is down to 7.2 and the scrubbing seems to be working. my cH is at 200, I would assume this is good because I want the calcium to come off the pool floor. but should I raise it to suggested levels from the pool caculator

this kit came with the house and pool. is it any good? from what i read hear and trying to use it i think its Crud or the testers are no good. it sat fror 2 years. it constantly test the same but im only using test strips to compare to. take it easy on me it's my first pool in a house that sat...

Richard thanks for the help . I have scaling like you said, but not as bad as pictures I first posted in algae section. I lowered ph and i'm brushing with steel brush looks like it will be a while but looks a lot better then when I started. my question is do I brush as much as possible everyday...

my ph is at 7.8 but i have calcium scaling. I want to lower to 7.2, I see that i can add acid to to that , but I'm reading that I have to bypass by heater when adding acid. I can't bypass heater the way it is set up, are there any other solutions?

if i do a no drain acid wash. is it ok to let the water/acid run thru my heater. I've read so many post on this site, I'm confusing myself. I thought I read one that said it would ruin heater, but i don't see a choice in the way my filter is set up, the water runs thru heater if it is off or on.

thanks. l gonna keep scrubbing and if i have to will try acid as last resort. why does shocking the pool seem to be working? it seems to get a little bit of the stain off each time I did it.
