    Testing a Hayward SP3400VSP pump

    On Friday my Hayward 3400VSP tripped both the 20AMP circuit on the pool pad and the 70AMP breaker in the main panel. I checked all the wiring and turned everything back on to find that the control panel lit up and worked, but the pump did not startup. I got the manual and went through the...

    AquaQuik SolarPRO solar collectors

    I would like to extend my swimming season. I was using SunGrabber panels on a custom built rack, but it was ugly, the panels didn't lat flat etc etc, so I took them down. I can't put anything on my roof because I have a solar electric system, so I am looking for a cleaner solution that takes up...

    Jandy AquaPure "Sensor T"

    Air blowing out of the return lines at startup

    My gunnite\plaster pool has been installed for 3 years. This year I added a solar setup to extend the season. Every time the pump fires, I get air out of the returns for a good 60sec, while the filter is pressurizing. When the pump is off, there are no bubbles in the pump housing (strainer...
