    Filter blew at seam

    My pool installer is checking with their rep. I also just got off the phone with Hayward. After explaining what happened, the lady asked me if I used the manual to troubleshoot the problem. after repeating that the seam broke, this time telling her there is a hole, which is more like a crack...

    Filter blew at seam

    I saw that one but was hoping to be able to buy just the body since the valve is fine. If I buy the whole thing, it comes with everything but sand, correct?

    Leaking pump

    New dual speed is great. So very quiet on both high and low. Whether it’s just appearance or better filtering, on low it appears much cleaner. No more small pile of stuff in the middle of the pool. Eye is aimed the same.

    Pump recommendations

    I hear you! I like simple. At 10.9 cents/kwh, seems a dual speed is a good choice.

    Pump recommendations

    So I can use the same timer I have now, and whichever selection I have selected on the pump (high vs low), that is what it will run at. correct? and one more: Last year when I looked at pumps, my local installer advised that a low speed (two speed) pump can NOT be used with a sand filter. Is...

    Why is the timer difference if I just run it on low speed twice a day?

    Two speed pump with sand filter.

    My current pump took a dump. Here she is. My pool store who who I actually like, says the two speed isn’t supposed to be used with a sand filter. Is that true? here is the 1.5 two speed I’m interested in. $10 less than my current pump at local price. They want to look at it before I buy from...

    Leaking pump

    Seals replaced. Breaker keeps tripping. Reads 113v so it must be the motor.

    Leaking pump

    Very hard to see but if you look inside near the motor and windings, it looks like it’s corroded in there also. Not happy since this is only three years old.

    Leaking pump

    I just watched this video and took it apart to this level. Is it possible that these are not, not, the two seals that are leaking? To me it looks like on the motor. Does that even make sense? https://youtu.be/XEpEO7sJ4Cs

    Figured why my water is dropping / Where should I get a new pump?

    Not to take over the thread but that's a good point re two speed. Mine is only a year old and runs 6-8 hours a day and my electric is killing me. Thinking I should replace anyway.
