    Humming Motor

    Replaced the motor and all is well again. However, I may pull the old motor apart just to see if I can find that missing shirt. :)

    Humming Motor

    I have a Centurion 2hp motor B855 56Y. Upon turning on it hums, turns the shaft slowly, then clicks off in a safety protection after about 20 seconds. I put in a new capacitor but it does the same thing. Impeller is clear and spins freely. I have also tried turning it on and tapping the motor...

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Would that be the cause for the whine/squeak? And what would cause the over heating?

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    I pulled the top. Here is a pic of the exchanger. The black object is a roasted lizard... The spring inside the header looked fine visually.

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Water flow is great. Originally when I opened the header I only removed the broken piece of de grid I found in there and replaced the thermostat as you could tell from the previous pic the one in there was majorly corroded. Is it possible the new thermostat is causing the problem? Everything...

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Thanks Paul. You were right and it was a fluke the keypad went out as well. Installed a new one yesterday and everything powered back up great. However after about 60 seconds of operation I began to hear a sound best described as a whine or squeak. No error codes and heater is producing hot...

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Paul, Today was the first day I tried to use the heater since the repair and test. When I press the mode button it does not cycle to pool or spa. Is this possibly related to the repair? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

    DE Powder only covering partial amount of filter???

    Helping a friend. No apparent air leaks. What causes this? The remaining powder looks like sludge in the bottom of filter housing.

    Pressure spike when trying to force all flow from/too hot tub

    My pool has the hot tub that overflows into the pool. When I turn the jandy valve to pull water only from hot tub no change is seen in pressure. However when I turn the other jandy valve to put all flow into the hot tub only, pressure spikes to high and i have to back it off to make it dump some...

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Pulling it by the pressure switch was key. Inside I found another two pieces of broken DE grid and the exsisting bypass valve kit looked great and was the strong plastic so I didn't need to replace it. However the thermostat was in really bad shape. Replaced it and the heater ran great for an...

    I have removed the nut around the copper tubing however the tube wont pull away. Have I done something wrong? Turning the other nut only turns the entire tube. I have attached a pic. Thanks!

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    Paul thank you so much for your insight and video! It has the digital display. In your description mention the temp sensor and pressure switch are on the left. I believe the guide calls these Pressure switch tube, and Thermostat Bulbs. At any rate the one on the left closest to the front in my...

    Hayward H400 Heater / Bypass Valve Kit and Thermostat Replacement Installation

    I believe I have a broken or stuck bypass insert and possibly a bad thermostat. I had a grid from the de filter break a few months ago and send a few pieces through the heater. I believe I got all of the pieces out however now when I turn on my heater it begins to make a boiling sound after...
