thank you! Can motor start in high speed if capacitor fails?

Hi, Please kindly help diagnose my motor issue: My pool motor has been running well for almost 5 years. 99% of the time, it ran in low speed only. Yesterday morning after heavy rain, it won't start in low speed : humming only. In high speed mode, it could start in humming but I can smell...

thanks, all. I've got and installed the replacement part from amazon, now it works perfectly. The mistake I made is that I didn't screw tight the case on the motor, so it might have wobbled and get broken.

Hello, Could you please help me to find the correct part for the V switch in Century B2979 dual speed motor? It does not seem there is a part available for this model. The V switch is the one in side the back of motor with two copper pieces. Thanks in advance!

Hi, Hope everyone is doing great during holiday season. Today, I tried to replace my old motor with 2 speed motor. everything seems fine until I ran test: - low speed mode : run 3-5 seconds then stop. - high speed mode: able to keep running. Later, strong spark can be seen once case is...

To locate the air leak, I tried a few approached over union, valve etc, but couldn't find anything. Suddenly I realized whenever I turned off the pump, there is tiny water stream burst out of somewhere. Then I tried a few times and finally located the location where water came out, it is the...

thank you! I'll try with eproxy and check the o-ring as well.

Hi, hope everyone enjoy the long weekend. Recently my 2-speed pump is very slow to prime under low-speed. sometimes I have to turn on high-speed for priming, then switch to low speed after priming. I lubed the o-ring in basket, but nothing much changed. Later I opened diverted valve but...

Hello, Today I noticed some issue with my 2-speed pump. When it is running in low speed mode, priming is very slow, and the basket show very low water level. Water still flows. The pipe connecting to pump outlet shows water leakage. Please kindly advise: - Any easy fix like glue for the...

thanks. I've been trying all options, now it works! - - - Updated - - - Thanks, Matt. I discovered a drainage outlet in curb. Is there any way to locate the pipe underground so that I can reuse it a little bit?

Hello everyone, My in-ground pool got very dirty after every heavy rain lasting for 2+ hours. I observed carefully last time, finally I noticed the garden dirt is flushed by rain water right into the pool. the major problem is that nearby garden is almost in same level as the pool deck and...

Ordered now. Much appreciated.

I have installed new 2 speed motor to replace old single speed motor, which is causing cascading problem. old single speed motor: sf=1.2 hp=2 new 2 speed motor: sf=1.5 hp=1 A.O. Smith 1 H.P Round Flange Dual Speed Full Rate Motor W/Out Switch (STS1102, STS1102RV1) STS1102 old impeller...

I think I got the answer now, I should use below: Impeller, Sp3010-c, Hayward (spx3010c) - INYOPools.com Somehow inyopools gave me the incompatible impeller even after I confirmed with them twice. SPX2610C is for Hayward Super pump My pump is Hayward Super II this incorrect part caused all...

the issue is fixed for the time being after a few hours on troubleshooting. 1. major issue: the new impeller is shorter than old one, hence it is not connecting to diffuser properly, hence water kept flowing out. 2. Another potential issue: I suspect the spring in the others side of new...

I thought replacing the motor is simpler, cannot imagine end up spending 1000 bucks.

Thanks Richard. Installed will check the pump again today to see if any leakage. it it is sucking water, does leakage cause such problem?

:mad:Seems I am facing challenge one after another with the pool while I am always be able to get great suggestion/help from expert in TFP. :) After long investigation, I end up replacing current 2hp single speed motor with 2 speed 1 hp motor, but pump doesn't prime after replacement. Pool...

the part# of the toggle is same as online version, so I used online tutorial, the speed mode is correct. the delivered box has incorrect instruction, I assume it is inyopools mistake.

I am trying to wire the 2 speed motor, but received contradicting instruction from inyopools/instruction sheet(coming with delivery) vs online one. On motor before toggle installation: L2 on terminal board<---->white wire lead L1 on terminal board<---->yellow wire lead A on terminal...

Finally I found this article: 7 Biggest Mistakes When Replacing a Pool Motor From above, I guess my pump is hayward super 2. Then I found below compatible motor: Hayward Super II Motors - INYOPools.com And seems it needs addtional switch also. A.O. Smith 1-1/2 HP Round Flange Dual Speed Full...

Thanks for the advice. I can see the fame of motor is X56J, but I couldn't find information about my pump. Can I just use the frame to decide whether motor matches the wet end? Not sure whether it is possible to tell from the photo.

I've uploaded the picture below due to size limit. https://s8.postimg.org/drof647d1/IMG_6145.jpg My pool is inground one. I did some calculation: - GPM = 14000/60/8=29 - filter shows 15 PSI, So foot of head = 15*23.1=35. Am I right? Refer to some online table, 0.75 hp or even 0.5 hp is...

Thanks for the response. Filter size is 60 sqft. Can I replace current motor with 1 hp or 1.5 hp? If I change to 2 speed pump, do I have to change the whole pump?

Good day! I am planning to replace my current single speed pump to 2 speed. Pump is on for 8 hours per day, and meter shows around 25 kwh daily. since I haven't moved in yet, so assume 80%+ are consumed by pump alone. rate: 0.10-0.11$/kwh. Current pump: 2 hp, 230v, 10.5 amp, inlet...

bought the part from leslie pool and replaced in 5 mins. thanks for the advice.

Thanks, Patrick. The pressure side cleaner only cleans up limited area, then stuck somewhere in the deep end. Now I bought a robot, which does much better work. Guess I can bypass the booster pump completely. Yes, I am in southlake, TX. Where can I buy the pipe and parts to reconnect the...

I bought a house with pool recently, hence have been learning from TFP since then. The articles really helps me a lot! The pool got cloudy as I haven't moved in yet. By following the slamming procedure, I have turned it back to clear water again. Yesterday, I saw the pipe(which connects to...
