pump

hi! the house came with an old concrete pool and these items in the photo - heater, DE filter and 1HP pump. i guess the pump was left running over the winter for a weekend without water and now it looks like its burned out and the pipes seem melted (photo below was taken 1.5 yrs ago when we paid...

Got this no-brand pump I need to test out. Mainly I have two questions: 1. What parts do I need to install this? I think I need the below. Pipe image below so you can see what fits snugly into the adapter (but only into the inner half of it; see attached video in zip file)...

I’m trying to figure out, where is the problem. I can feel strong suction on the intake, weaker suction in the sweeper (Vingly). Pressure on meter shows 15 or so. No leaks. I tried another Vingly, one that works in another pool (my son’s), still same. Tried adjustments, nothing. The sweeper...

I need to swap out my old 3/4hp Hayward single speed pump and I was looking at getting a VS speed pump. I am currently wired for 120v so I would need to run new wiring/breakers to accommodate 240v as it looks like VS pumps are all 240v(not the end of the world). I also am not sure how I would...

I am not sure what happened, but over the last week of so my pool heat temp got set to 104 and I can’t change it. I am the only one who has ever used the control panel and I never set it past 85. I thought the panel might be locked, but the LOc doesn’t show when trying to change the temp. In...

Recently updated a lot of the pool equipment in my new place with your guys' help - thank you! But I kept the old Calimar 1.5 HP pump and added the automation adapter to have better control using 3 relays on the intellicenter. However, always thought it would be nice to have a pentair pump to go...

Howdy I have a separate Jandy Pump for my water feature. (Fountain) No matter what speed I choose on AquaLink, It'll slow down quite a bit right after 3 minutes. Any ideas? baskets, etc clean.

I just had a new pool put in. I noticed on the omnilogic app today that the pump was running at 100%. The heater is at a set point of 60°, outside temp is 45°, and current pool temp is 50°. I would expect the heater would be on with these conditions, but status says “Ready”. I inquired with my...

I've read what most are saying about the SVRS pumps and I agre. Mine was working until yesterday, this morning. Nothing. I have stuck my hand to clean the pump to ensure nothing was in it. Pictures below. (I believe the other warning about the "low flow" is just related to the pump being...

Hi Everyone, I have an Intellitouch system that has a dedicated pump for my jets in my spa. When I tell the system to call for the pump to turn on, it appears that the circuit is being activated but the pump doesn't actually ramp up. Can anyone point me at what might be the culprit? Thanks in...

Hello all, I have an in-ground pool with a 3/4 HP pump. I added a Vingli vacuum pool cleaner and found that it will only work if I shut off flow to the skimmer and drain. I'd obviously like to have the skimmer and drain running along with the pool vacuum. My question is should I install a...

Hi All, I have a Suraielec 40AMP 24OV wifi timer for a 1.5HP VSP and 240V Salt Water Chlorinator (both are Circupool). My question relates to wiring. Can I wire both to the single 240V of the timer? I would prefer this so both have no power draw when they are off. I have a very basic diagram...

Hello, When my pool is in “Auto” mode, I don’t have the option to control the speed of the pump using the speed control panel (1-4). It only allows me to change it when I set it to “Service” mode. What can I do? Thank you!

My pool pump is not turning on when the programming says it should. As you can see from the picture the pool electrical says it’s on but the pump does not kick on until I walk down there and physically touch the connection with my “magical powers”. Any idea of how to get this working normally...

I left my pool for a month and it got lots of algae. Upon returning, I decided to drain half of it first, to reduce CYA from 100. I then added a ton of liquid bleach (and muriatic acid), refilled the pool, and turned on the pump. I didn't prime it in the usual way (didn't have a hose), but by...

Hello all! Yesterday, we had really heavy rain and the pool filled up almost to the top (over the skimmers). So I used the Waste setting on my sand filter until the water level was back to normal. When I turned by to Filter I noticed my returns have a lot of bubbles coming out. I tried...

I switched from a pressure side Polaris cleaner to a robot awhile back and put a little fountain on the now disused port at the side of the pool, which would create a big fountain if I turned on the old Polaris pump. That pump has since died, and I kind of liked the ability to occasionally...

I have just purchased a house with a beautifully replastered 30k in-ground pool in New England. The equipment is VERY old, the piping is patched to heck, and the pad is digusting. Also, the existing DE filter has started spewing de into the pool, and having replaced the manifold and grids, I...

I re-plumbed my pool pump area about 3 years ago, and all has been fine - but about a month ago, I started having some air leakage into the skimmer basket throughout the course of the day. I run my variable speed pump at around 1900RPM for 18hrs a day, and then 2400 and 2900 for the rest of the...

I've had my house for about 2 years, and started using TFP this year. What a game changer! I have a problem with my pump losing prime. I've suspected a suction side leak for some time underneath a mid-sized spruce tree near the skimmer (intermittent sucking/gurgling sounds), but no real...

Recent reader - first post.. thank you in advance for your help! We have a 10,000 gallon pool (in ground) with the following equipment: - Hayward Micro Clear DE filter (existing when we purchased house about 7 years ago) - Hayward 1hp single speed filter pump (also existing when we purchased...

Just had my Aqua Plus control board swapped out (SWG was not getting power). The pool company left then I noticed that slow speed isn't working. Fast speed is fine. Its most probably an error in the wiring OR a problem with the setup of the controller. I went into the CONFIGURATION menu but...

Hi. We are having an in ground pool installed that is 20 x 50’ with a 6 ft tanning ledge and 8 ft deep end. We are planning on 3 bubblers on the tanning ledge and considering 6 deck jets for the kids as well. Our base package includes a Max Flo VSP Pump (1.65 total HP), but our contractor has...

Hey guys, I've been having issues with my pump attaining full prime since I moved into my house 9 years ago. I've had 2 pumps, both with similar issues. On the suction side I've ruled out an air leak for these reasons. Feel free to correct me on this. 1. The 1st diverter valve (pool vs hot...

Hi! We have a pentair 1HP sand filter pump that is no longer working for our inground pool. It’s old. My husband took the lid off and the motor appears corroded. He can get it to turn on for a few minutes and then it just stops. Is it possible to just replace the motor itself or do we need to...

My pump is dying, and based on some preliminary reading, it seems like I may want to consider future automation in this decision. I don't have a spa or water features, so my needs are pretty basic. I was originally going to purchase the Pentair SuperFlo VSF since it would be a direct replacement...

Been trying to diagnose what's going on with my pool pump. I have a Hayward 1-1/2 HP Super Pump. We had a crazy rainstorm the other day where my pool almost flooded out and pump stopped operating. I thought it was an impeller jam or issue. Removed the motor from the housing and determined the...

Hi, I am looking to replace most of my pool equipment and pool pipelines. (Images attached) The reasons for this are: Aging Equipment: The current pool equipment is quite old and not functioning properly. Paver Redo: I am redoing the pavers and want to change the pipes for longer lifespan. I...

Hey Y’all, Trying to help my in-laws with their pool. The main pump won’t seem to start up (older 2 speed pump connected to one of those metal timers to kick on power). I can hear it every 5 or so minutes make a whining noise for 2 seconds likes it’s trying to kick on, then nothing. When I...

hi I replaced my single speed pump with a calimar variable speed pump. After wiring up I got a low voltage E-8 alarm. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this. I took some photos of the intelliconnect box as its wired. This is how installer wired, I didn’t change anything. It looks like the...
