    Sta-Rite Pool Heater acting crazy

    It looks like the replacement board assembly is part number 77707-0013. Looks pricey. 42002-0029z is the keypad membrane and 42001-0096s is just the control board. I found the part numbers for you but sadly I don't know how to troubleshoot it to determine exactly which one you need.

    Leaking at the Pump?

    If your pump is a Hayward Super 2 then you would need the AS-1521 standard shaft seal or the PS-3868 heavy duty seal for saltwater pools. These seals are easy fxes, with plenty of guides online to show you how to replace.

    What to do with dead pump motor

    That looks like an old Hayward Max-Flo. The standard shaft seal is a AS1521, or go with a heavy duty saltwater seal, it is a PS3868. Depending on the last time you serviced them I would replace the gaskets and there are "tune up kits" that include to whole she-bang (lid, diffuser, shaft seal...

    Pentair/American Products 400 watt Amerlite Epoxy Resin

    I don't know about the epoxy coloring but I would take a multimeter to the light and/or the circuit to detmine if the light actually needs replacing. I'd prefer to go off of a meter reading than a smell.

    C&C 100 vs C&C 200

    An explanation on why their pictures look the same is that most manufactures only provide one stock picture for a line of filters. They usually choose the larger versions to use as the stock picture for the fitler line to give the best representation of the potential size of the unit. For single...

    It may be stuck on something or the grime may have the seal a little stubborn. Looking at the parts diagram of the pump there is nothing keeping it in place.

    Cracked Filter Please advise

    There is no need to drop a grand on a brand new EC75. And by that I mean, the net has them for $550 with free shippiing or less.If you can do the plumbing yourself then you are set. But if your housing is split there is no feasible cheap/longterm solution, unless it is under warranty.

    Pentair Rebel

    It looks similar to the poolvergnuegen pool cleaners which are pretty durable and highly regarded. I have seen a lot about the rebel but never actually heard from a homeowner having used it in their pool. I am interested in this topic as well.

Test the cap leads and also check the power source while you're at it. If you are no familiar with testing electrical...

    Newbie Needs Help!!! Pool Guy Broke My Filter....

    It was a C1750 so there would not be a multiport valve on it. Is there a diverter valve after the pump and filter that could have been closed while they were building up pressure? Unless you can re-thread the base of the tie rod somehow, a replacement of the base would be necessary. And like...
