First post, relatively new pool owner, but im having an issue with my polaris pb4-60 cycling when turned on. I have a 1.5 hp main pump and when they are both running the polaris turns on for less than 30 seconds then shuts off for the same time and this will continue the whole time its in...

I've currently got a 11 year old single speed pump and I want to replace it with a variable speed pump to help save money on electricity. Pool is in ground 35000 gallons with 1.5 inch pipe. Curren filter maximum flow is 62GPM and current pump is 3450rpm at 1 HP. From what I can tell I need a...

Dealing with the crisis situation last few weeks after my Jandy FloPRo VSP (VFHP270AUT) pump stopped. Opened the pool this season and the pump was running fine for a couple of days and then noticed the water was still. Both PDA & IQPUMP01 was unable to control the pump. No options to jump the...

Hi, First off I’m very new to this so trying to figure this out. We recently installed a pool with Hayward pump and sand filter. I had relatives over who have 30+ years dealing with pools. We had an issue with vacuuming and they pointed out the pump wasn’t operating correctly .. so we tried...

I have a 13,000 gallon saltwater pool with a new IntelliFlo/Pro3 VSF pump. One of the kids' toys got in the skimmer area and partially blocked the water flow. It did not run dry -- just slowed down the water flow and air got into the system. When I returned home, I stopped the pump, cleared...

Looking to replace my old single speed motor with a variable speed as my pump seems to still be in great condition. From what I am finding looking at retrofit variable speed motors, I have a choice of a 1.3 or 1.65HP motor. As far as I understand, my current pump is a 1HP. Does it makes sense to...

Hi my Hayward Super Pump hums for 20 seconds, gets overheated and then shuts off. I took out the basket to check if there is clogging and all is clear. What should I do?

We have had an Hayward SP33152B 2-Speed pump for our above ground pool for the past 10 years. We openend the pool last week and the pump started without any issues. Unfortunately, this morning, my husband tried to put it on Low, so he moved it from High to Off, and then to Low but the pump never...

I will try to keep this short, but if any additional information, picture, or videos will help, please let me know. I will premise all this that I had a complete renovation of my pool last May 2023. Everything but the hole in the ground was replaced (pipes, skimmers, drains, pump, liner, etc.)...

Hi all! Here I was thinking my pool opening was going great….then this morning I saw water gushing from the motor. I took everything apart and checked the seals and relubed. Didn’t notice any issues. Then tried again and same thing. The motor is only a year old. Below is the video. Thoughts?

Hi guys, new to this forum. Already learnt quite a lot from reading lots of posts. I’m a new pool owner in Hamilton, Canada. I attempted to open my pool yesterday but was having serious trouble with the pump not priming. It seemed to be sucking a lot of air. After a few minutes, it would...

Hi all!! We have an in ground pool with a sand filter pump. This year after opening we are having a problem with the pump and don’t know where to start looking to correct the issue. Sand was replaced last year. Checked the O ring and there is no visible crack. The pump is having trouble priming...

I have a 30x15 saltwater fiberglass pool. Pool and pump are 6 years old. Our current pump is a Speck-X ES90-III. This pump is the loudest pump on Earth. We are convinced the pool installers either installed it wrong or messed it up upon installation. It’s a loud grinding sound that you can...

We installed an in ground, saltwater pool two years ago. The pool includes an attached hot tub spa. The spa has two spillovers into the pool. We also have an accent wall that includes two 24” sheer descents. On our lounge ledge we have two bubblers. Once the pool was complete, we figured...

I have a Vgreen Variable Speed motor model EVQ165. Every third or so day the motor turns on (green solid light) but does NOT start running. Slight clicking noise and nothing. No fault light indication. Then, the other couple days, it turns on, starts running and primes then no air out of...

Hello everyone, We live in New Jersey. Pool was closed last winter and working fine at the time. Pool was opened yesterday and when we started the pump the impeller would not spin and the pump would overheat and click off. - Capacitor was tested and was not the problem. - Checked the impeller...

I turned on my pump the other day and a few sparks shot out so I turned it off. It had been raining recently and was wet in the area. That has never been an issue before, but wanted to mention it. Left it alone for a couple days and tried it again today. First I opened the strainer and verified...

Hello my new pool is all of a sudden showing that the water temp is 120-130 degrees F. The pump seems to be running fine and there are no errors within the panel, app, or SWG. The actual water temp is around 60-65 degrees. I reached out to the PB but its late and they won't respond until...

I bought a home with a pool that has been sitting empty for a while. It also appears to have had a solar hot water heater system for the pool, and pump systems. I've got pictures of everything below. (the grey pvc pipe in the room comes from the grey pipe running across the roof.) If anybody...

Need to fix my in laws century pump. It runs at first but then starts leaking. Guessing it's the shaft. I can't find any of the parts for it all I see is pentair and Hayward. If anyone could point me in right direction it would be appreciated. Would like to just get a kit with all the gaskets...

Hello, I’m a brand new pool owner. I moved into a house with a pool that I believe has been here for about 9 years. See Video Our pump has started making an awful noise, and we aren’t sure what it is. We cleaned the pump filter, but it continues to make this noise. Are we going to have to...

Hi Everyone. I have been doing some research on my pressure of my filter as well as the flow rate. My plan is to find a way to monitor the following 3 things Pressure of the filter (at the MPV) "Fullness/Dirtiness" of the Weir basket "Fullness/Dirtiness" of the pump internal basket What I...

I currently have this pump (or motor??) that started going bad last summer (pics attached). I know nothing about what I need, but I have been reading about variable speed pumps. My electric bills do get quite high in the summer while using this one, even though I only run it about 10 hours per...

I have a Hayward booster pump that runs the Polaris and an EcoStar for the filter. We've been experiencing an extended freeze (for N Texas, anyway) and all the pumps were running thanks to the freeze guard. Unfortunately, I believe either the filter itself or a pipe froze and both pumps ran...

I am a complete amateur when it comes to this, I only learnt last night how to release water from the pool (in "Waste" mode) when we had heavy rainfall, I recent moved into a house with a smallish inground pool. Here is the issue - When I turn on my pool pump the RetroChlor shows that it is...

I've been scratching my head on this one. After reading various posts, I performed the following troubleshooting with no resolution: Replaced Check Valve Done a dye method to see if water is leaking in the SPA only (doesn't go anywhere, maybe to slow to detect) Placed valves B and E in the...

Hi, I had a power outage at my house and now my Pump is turning On and Off by itself. I already turned off the breaker for five minutes and reset the scheduling. The Pump is still turning On and Off by itself. I can’t identify the problem. Any suggestions?

I'm planning an inground plunge tub and need help with pump and chilller: Tub: Concrete blocks with insulation. 40" x 40" x 40". About 250 gallons (water line at 36", etc) I would like to put the chiller and pump above the ground, with one of the lines going to the bottom of the tub, one...

Hi All, We had a new DE filter, Salt system, pump and heat pump heater installed at the beginning of the season and it seems like the pool pump is using way more electricity than I expected. We have a 22k gallon in ground pool. The pump is a Hayward Superpump XE 1.65HP, running @80% speed for...
