I installed my new pump about a month ago. yesterday I walk outside and the pump is making a very low hum and not doing anything. It is extremely hot to the touch. Once it has cooled for a little while, you can turn it on and it will pump and move water and then cut off within a minute. The pump...

The pump actual says 1hp on high and .16 on low. Not quite an 1/8 drop but still over 1/6

So based on this rule of thumb, Return Dynamic Head = 2.31 * Filter PSI + 3, I would be around 26 on high and 8 on low. Hayward list the low speed flow for my pump at 27 GPM at 10' of head, so I should be flowing slightly higher than that. But even if I use the 27 in order to be a hair...

I have to correct myself. PSI is around 2.5-3 not 5. IIRC, which I might not, when I was interpreting some of the info in this section when you drop the speed of the motor, your Flow drops by 1/2, the energy consumption drops by 1/8 and the resistance to flow drops about 1/4. Is that correct...

So earlier this week, my pump went out. I wanted to get a two speed pump to try and see some energy savings and the benefits of a quieter pump is nice too. I ended up ordering a Hayward Max Flo II 1 HP, Model SP2707X102, which is actually a 1.25 HP accounting for the service factor. On high...

Any idea how SP2707X102 measures up?

So a lot of these posts are way over my head but is the SP2607X102S still at the top of the list for energy efficiency?

I'm having trouble getting the right frame size off the label as it is washed out pretty bad. I know it ends with J but I'm having trouble telling if it is 56 59 50 39 36 etc. I'm hoping it is a 56J as a local motor shop has then in stock.

Ouch

I have a Amazon Prime account so I can get overnight shipping for $4 and it looks like they have a good Hayward selection but I am open to options!

All, I could really use some help. My pump is dead. I've got an electrician friend coming over to check it out but I'm planning for the worst. I may need to order a pump right away. Any suggestions for a good pump that wont break the bank for a 24,000 gallon in ground pool?!?

High humidity is the name of the game around here!

I've got a fountain that I can use. I'm not sure how much it would drop the temp. I assume the best time to use it would be at night since aerating during the day would likely not help as much compared to cooler evening temps. It has been above 95 pretty much every day for quite a while, but the...

South Mississippi, right on the coast

My pool temps are getting up to and over 100 degrees pretty regularly these days. Is there anything that I need to be aware of at these temps? I'm assuming that algae could be a real problem with water this warm. Are there any additional precautions I need to take?

I'm definitely interested so I'll be staying tuned. They have a nice pump and drum combo but it is in teh $450 range which is a little too rich for me. I really like the idea of a pump with a container instead as it would make life much easier for me.

How much does a setup like that cost if you don't mind me asking?

I'm still doing a little head scratching on this one. I added 3/4 of a gallon (96oz) of chlorine (10%) and got a 7 ppm increase on FC instead of the ~3.1 I was expecting. I guess I need to go remeasure my pool.

:whip:

Side of the filter (front actually) 1 1/2" Pressure gauge is mounted to the filter and not the valve I'll have to check the filter for the model number

This testing was done with a Taylor kit although I don't recall the number off the top of my head. Its the dropper kit though and not the one that you have to color compare for chlorine. The pump was running but I do not know if it had time to mix completely or not. What is the rule of thumb...

I'm losing water out of the discharge or waste pipe when the pool is on filter. Took apart my multivalve and it looks like the gasket inside has seen better days. I'm not exactly sure which model I have because the model and serial number are faded out. HOWEVER, I could read the patent number...

40'x20' 3' shallow end and 5' deep

I agree.

Just check my chlorine again. It was up to 11 ppm after adding two 174oz jugs of 6% so my estimate of 24,000 gallons must be off a bit. Either that or the dollar store bleach was stronger than the 6% indicated on the jug?

South Mississippi. I don't use a solar cover although I have considered it

Thanks guys. I have an older 280.

Just getting the pool up and running. FC: .4 CC: .2 TA 90 CYA ~55 PH 7.5 I didn't test for CH since i have a vinyl pool. I know I need to bring the FC up and possibly shock if needed but how do the other numbers look. I was happy that the CYA was down from last year. I'm going to try and do...

My dad is looking into a new pool cleaner. Budget is important but really having something that works right is the most important. Does anyone have any feedback on the Polaris 165? He does not have a pool cleaner line or booster pump setup so he's looking for something suction or pressure side...
