    Pump relplacemement? Or just motor?

    Through research, I decided I needed to replace the shaft seal. I took the entire pump apart. When I did that, there was a white crusty substance inside most of the unit. I'm wondering if this means the water leak has affected the motor and bearings? When I separated the motor, and test ran...

    Pump relplacemement? Or just motor?

    Looks like my electric company is offering a $100 rebate. Doesn't seem like much of an incentive for me....

    Pump relplacemement? Or just motor?

    Hello, My pool pump is getting incredibly loud. It is 14 years old and keeps me up when it runs at night. It seems to work fine, as far as I can tell, but I can't handle the noise! Wondering if I could just replace the motor or if I should replace the whole thing? I do believe it leaks a...

    CYA loss

    Thank you for your thoughts. I can rule out any water loss from anybody using the pool. Unfortunately it is just a pretty water hole that I dump money into, never gets used anymore. :( And I have put on the new Polaris tail sweep that prevents the water from spraying out. I don't have an...

    CYA loss

    Hello. I have been using the BBB method for several years now. My question is regarding CYA levels. It seems that since I have been using the BBB method, every summer, I am having to add CYA. Curious why/how I would be losing CYA? It is a 16,000 gallon plaster pool in California. We've...

    OH MY GOSH!!! Literally crying and jumping for joy right now. (yes, I am female :wink: ) Attached the wires, and the heater fired right up. This has been SIX years of an unusable heater! Not for lack of trying, I tried and tried to figure this out through the years and was never able to...

    Hayward heater H400

    SO GRATEFUL for your information! Another question: would the heater attempt to fire up or work at all without these wires attached, or would it be completely disabled? Only asking that in anticipation of trouble shooting further once I get the wires reattached. It has been several years...

    Hayward heater H400

    She pulled them off the limits. She severed the wires from the clip attachments of the turquoise and purple wire. The red wire is still completely intact. So from what I can tell, the purple and red wire were on one limit together, but I can't figure out anything beyond that. I can post a...

    My dog has ripped off the wires to the hi limit switches. I have a purple, turquoise, and red wire, but I do not know how they reattach. I have the manual, but I can not figure it out from that. I had an "authorized servicer" out yesterday who had absolutely no idea what he was doing! Called...
