Thank you so much for your help!! 🙂

You were absolutely correct. Nothing wrong with the Intermatic... just with the "electrician". :-( Ok, so I think I'm going with the ECM16CU... my only concern is that everything will line up with my current pump. I will attach photos of my pump and motor plates. I feel like I'm overcomplicating...

Wow... I was way off. That makes way more sense. So, I had disconnected all the wires accept for the 2 input wires (220v), so now I realize I need to reconnect power to the line side of the circuits, as you said (jumped from 1 to 3,5,7)... then test again as you stated. SMH

Sooooo. I'm hoping I can get away with not using the P1353ME at all (since it's broken) and just use one of the options you suggested (thanks by the way... I hadn't considered upgrading to VS as an option) Those VS motors appear to have some built in timer / programming functionality, but one of...

Switched 2 Mode 1 (3 independent circuits with no time delay). Switch each circuit "on" and check with voltmeter (ACV) across Load / Line terminals.

OK... I got it now. I ran across the retrofit option on the Inyo site that listed the same Century VS options you mentioned. I am fairly familiar with P1353ME. I did switch back to Mode 1 (3 independent circuits with no time delay) before I did my testing... I'm pretty sure something is messed...

Good to know on the new regulations. I'm looking at close to $900 to replace the existing equipment, so I may as well move up to the VS. I checked on the rebate. It requires a contractor to install it and there are no contractors listed for my area. :-(

I apologize up front if I'm not following or if I was unclear in my post. My issue is that the motor for my Hayward Pump is not working at all. I probably shouldn't have mentioned the booster pump as it is not relevant to my issue. It is a separate pump/motor that isn't being used and only pumps...

Went out to turn on my pump to backwash and it's dead. Need some help deciding best way to get pool up and running again. Equipment I have a 5 year old Hayward SP2610X152S Super Pump 1.5 HP Pool Pump, Dual-Speed. My digital timer is a 5 year old Intermatic P1353ME using Mode 4 (for dual speed...

My swg pool is supposed to be kept at 6ppm FC. But the Nautilus CC Plus that I just bought says that the max FC is 4 ppm. Are there any other pool cleaners that can handle more than 4 ppm? Does this seem unreasonable to anyone else besides me?

I have an Rj-45 Plus that is in it's 4th year. Was working until a few days ago when I got a High Temp warning on the display. The temp is reading 164 degrees F. I called discountsaltpool.com where I purchased it. They recommended cleaning the cell before sending the unit in for repair. I have...

There is lots of information on this site. In the Pool School section of the site (See the Main Menu at the top) there is an article called Defeating Algae. I recommed starting there. Here is a link Pool School - Defeating Algae

My bad. I totally missed it.

I will try and post more later, but for now just put Chlorine in the pool and get it up to the recommended level for your pool. Check out the Pool School section of the website for a chart that shows the proper chemical levels for your pool. The CYA is important, but you need to get your...

I know it's odd. I'm no expert, but I've owned and self maintained this pool for 7 seasons and this is a first for me. The only thing that's new is the two speed pump, so I was just checking to make sure I hadn't missed anything. There were a lot of air bubbles when I switched to high, so right...

My pressure gauge is not working. I've found that they tend to malfunction rather quickly, so I never replaced it when it stopped working the last time... I can usually tell by the flow from the jets when a backwash is needed. I just replaced my filter sand and the entire internal assembly about...

My pH is rising repeatedly for the first time this year. The big change is that I added salt (~2500 ppm) back in the Fall in preparation for SWCG, but I haven't actually installed the SWCG yet. Would that cause a rise in pH?

I just replaced my single speed Hayward Super Pump with a their 2 speed Super Pump. I've been running it on the low speed to save money. Twice now I have walked out to check on the pool and discovered that no water is coming out of the jets. I put my hand in front of the jet and nothing! The...

Sorry, I did leave that part out. We have quite a bit of sand in the pool, so I'm making the assumption that I have damaged laterals. I want to get all my new equipment swapped out in one day, so instead of emptying the sand filter to determine what the problem is, I am planning to just replace...

OK, I'm going with new Hayward Super Pump 1.5 HP Dual Speed Pump (SP2610X152S) (230v) replacing the full Lateral Assembly in my S244T filter adding a CircuPool RJ-45 PLUS Salt Chlorine Generator adding an Intermatic P1353ME Three (3) circuit controller. This will control the Dual Speed Pump, the...

I like the VS because of the built-in timer. Since the new Super Pump VS is a 1.65 HP and you suggested a 1 or 1.5 HP 2-speed, is up front cost the main factor in your recommendation? Or is there something else I'm missing? Especially since Jimrahbe suggested that with my new SWCG, a VS would...

I have a Hayward S244T. This website says 62 GPM, but the label on the filter says 20 GPM/... and then the label is torn off. I attached a picture.

I have both. My current pumps are wired for 220 / 221, whatever it takes. :-) Seriously, I have a 220v and 110v in my panel at the pump. - - - Updated - - - - - - Updated - - - So is there another pump that you would recommend that would work with my current equipment? We plan to move in a...

I am replacing a Hayward Super Pump, 1 HP. I am choosing the Super Pump VS (SP2603VSP) as a replacement. I have 1-1/2" plumbing for my 20' x 40' pool. Is this a good choice? I don't have anything special other than a booster pump for my Polaris pool cleaner. No spa. No water features. I have one...

At this point I've decided to add the salt, but wait on installing the salt cell until spring. I will log my experience for future readers of the post. I measured my salinity tonight and was surprised to find that it was already at 1000 ppm. So, my first bit of advice for those reading this post...

Just got off the phone with Compass Minerals (North American Salt Company). They confirmed that the SureSoft Extra Course Water Softener Salt is no less than 99.8% pure.

Nobody ever mentioned that. Are you saying the SWG won't function below 60F or just that there will be no loss of chlorine at that temp? If the former, then all SWG pools require some other form of chlorine in the winter?
