Interesting. Hmmm. Well I guess my solution isn't necessarily THE fix for this problem. Oh well, at $3.49 it's not a bad place to start! ;)

Re: Hayward Super Pump won't turn on When you say you're going to try to fix their filter, I'm assuming you mean their pump (and/or it's motor). The capacitor is extremely easy to replace. What makes you think it's the capacitor, first of all? Does it just make a humming noise when you turn...

Yep, that's what I just got done doing about 15 min ago - just got out of the shower from that little workout (bending over and working those mounting bolts in 90°+ temps with 60% humidity). But yeah, I just bit the bullet and replaced the motor (and shaft seal of course)... $256! :shock...

Re: Pump not starting - even with new capacitors In my case, the guy with the single speed motor, it's not running. :( It just makes a loud hum or buzz. So it spins freely, has a good capacitor, and even if I turn it on and try to spin it by hand while it's buzzing it never "catches" and...

Split by moderator from HERE. Please start your own thread to avoid confusion. Thanks, jblizzle I'm having a similar problem with a regular single speed motor. I got a brand new capacitor and installed it. The pump is still making a loud humming noise and won't run. the impeller is totally...

       Problem resolved. New pump motor. $256 - ouch. Cest la vie...

Hayward Super Pump won't turn on - DIFFERENT GUY, SAME PROBL I'm having the same problem, so I've been watching this thread (and others). I got a new capacitor (just a few minutes ago actually) and installed it. The pump is still making a loud humming noise and won't run. the impeller is...

Yeah, I'm getting a few spots too, along with some places where the grout is missing between a couple of the decorative trim tiles at the waterline. Both of my "bare" spots are about 3-4 feet deep, so I reckon I'll be needing to drain the pool a good bit too. It'll be my first time doing...

Looks like OP left after his/her one post, but I'll revive this zombie thread. :lol: I have nothing but palm trees in my yard, but my neighbor's Live Oaks' branches hang out over my pool. I've trimmed as high up as I can but the trees are literally right up against the fence and there's...

And now a specific reply to OP, Lavaman, if he's still watching this thread by some chance: It looks like your timer is a T-100 series, like mine, and that the "ON" trip is silver colored. As I discovered in my post, immediately above, the T-100 series requires the green-ish (tinted) trip. I...

Hmmm... good suggestion. I can see how one model might have different length trips vs. another model. I'm pretty sure these are original. However, that makes me wonder if they're worn after years of daily "tripping". The pool is original to the house, which was built in 1996, and I am about...

Was there ever any final explanation for this? I have an Intermatic timer doing the same thing (except the breaker part). It'll trip off just fine, can be turned on manually just fine, but won't trip on, no breaker issues. I've checked the positioning of the trippers a buhzillion times (this...

Eight bucks is better than super glue. I might just visit eBay. Good tip. Surprisingly I have yet to come across a component for my old Aquadroid that my local store (Pinch-A-Penny) doesn't have. However, they have a HUUUUUUUGE markup on parts (e.g., $50 for new pods!). I have done fairly...

Ah-HA! Yep I know that screen well. The Aquadroid is apparently just an old version of the Navigator in terms of "guts". My screen is cracked horizontally, but intact. However, because my neighbor's trees hang over my fence right next to my pool and grass clippings, etc. are magically...

Re: Hayward Navigator going in circles Peter, what was the long term outcome? Did it continue to work properly or did it return to going in circles? I've got an older Hayward Aquadroid (which is very similar on the inside) and in the last year I've replaced everything except the body/shell -...
