looks like I've got an AO Smith ST1102, 115v, round flange... what is a good 2 speed option?

Thanks James! Does that one look big? Thinking of getting a two speed. I definitely have some plumbing issues too :(

Horrible noise, but still pumps. Motor part gets real worm. Video here: pumpnoise - YouTube Is it the motor I need to replace?

Thanks kimkats! I Discovered the plug for the Hydrostatic release and screwed it back in (with my head 12' under water, gaw!) This seems to have solved the problem. Now back to the tail end of shock and balancing. I should have a new round of test results and some pictures soon so I can get...

Thanks! I think that's what it was. A couple of trips down with goggles revealed a large threaded plug. A couple of more 'dives' and I had it screwed back in and haven;t lost any more water. Adding enough to reach the skimmers so I can run the pump again! :)

suddenly it's draining! Got clear enough to see bottom and enjoy. Main drain cover was broken, bunch of bricks/rocks in there. I pried one out with a pole and a few hours later I've lost 6" of water. could the rocks have been holding a plug in? I don;t know how to stop it. Pool is from...

Pool shaping up, but in trouble now: suddenly it's draining! main drain cover was broken, bunch of bricks/rocks in there. I pried one out with a pole and a few hours later I've lost 6" of water. could the rocks have been holding a plug in? I don;t know how to stop it. Pool is from 19878...

Keeping it at 12 or higher. We swam in it yesterday for a bit anyway since it was 95 degrees! It's been foaming for weeks now, probably made worse by an apparent suction side leak. I'm adding DE when Iknow I'll be around to backwash. being patient.... it's doing pretty well, I'm adding just...

I think I got too enthusiastic with the algicide.... how long does it take to stop foaming so much? I've been doing an 'unscientific SLAM' using a basic FC/pH test kit and the shock treatment/dry chlorine fro mthe pool store... and now bleach. Since I did my first TF-100 test yesterday I can...

Thanks Abigail. Anything I can do to stop the foaming, or will it eventually subside? I got a little overzealous with the algicide I guess :-/ Thanks guys. FC & CC were the same this AM (5.5 & 1 ppm respectively) so that seems like a good thing. I've been slamming unscientificly (limited...

Pool came with house, best guess is it's not been maintained or run regularly for 3 or more years. It was dark green with chunks of algae floating around. Pine tree next door. Started removing pine needles with net. Initialy added some algicide and ran filter, primarily to keep mosquitoes at...
