pump

I power washed the concrete around my pool yesterday and noticed the pool was cloudy, so I turned the pump on first thing in the morning so the filter could get to work. About 4hrs later I noticed the ripples on the pool weren’t heavy and when I checked the filter pressure it was 14psi over...

Hello, guys, I am trying to open the pool myself this summer, I have been having this leak since last year as well I just never found a solution, just a small leak at the pump ring and no matter how i try to move the pump or ring around it doesn't stop the leak

I have been using a Hayward EC-50 DE filter and a Hayward 3/4 HP pump on a 20,000 gal in-ground pool for 35 years. This system was installed by the original pool construction company. It has worked very well and has given me absolutely no problems. The filter housing has now developed a small...

Hi everyone!! Would really appreciate any help you can give... My 1.5 hp pump broke yesterday for my 18 foot above ground doughboy pool. I ran out and got a new Hayward Powerflo Matrix 1.5 hp pump. Connected and cannot get the pump to run without bubbles now. I have a 150lb sand filter that ran...

Last year I noticed some water seeping through the connection of the pipe coming out of the pump housing when the pump is running. It was very little and didn't really spill over. This year the water showed up again when I opened up the pool, and this time it appears to be dripping off to the...

I just built the pool (AquaSport 52 18' Round). The pavers on the pool deck are still going in so we filled the pool up to the skimmer then sealed it with heavy guage plastic sheeting to keep the dust out from landscaping + pavers. Nobody got in the pool and it was clean tap water so I thought...

We have a 2019 HydroPool swim Spa that we’ve owned for about two months. It is installed indoors. There are three pumps, one of the two main swim jets is not working. The other two work fine. It does not make a sound. We’ve done all the troubleshooting such as topping off the water, checking for...

New guy here looking for help identifying the parts left behind by the pool company that winterized my pool. I inherited the pool for the last 6 weeks of the 2019 season so this is my first open. I have the pump drain plugs, filter drain cap, and sight glass figured out. There’s this odd shaped...

I own a 2005 Hayward Northstar Pump. Diffuser went bad (cracked), bought identical replacement, all ready to go... and the motor won't go back into the pump housing. We are not able to flush motor mounting plate with pump flange. Hence we can't lock Motor Lock Ring. We tried pushing motor...

We got our pool up and running here in Texas last weekend. The Pentair Vac came with a flow director which is desperately needed bc when ran on high the return is stronger than a hot tub. We can NOT figure out how to get this flow director on. In every set of directions I’ve found it lists the...

Hi There, Hello from Toronto, Canada. I am looking to replace my pool equipment starting with my Sand Filter and my Hayward Super Pump (SP2607X10A). I have a very small kidney sized in ground pool 4000 USG (8 feet by 16 feet) that has 2 jets in the stairs (spa area) and 2 main jets. My pump...

So, my pump failed, rather spectacularly, yesterday. We inherited this pool when we purchased the home 3.5 years ago. The pool was installed about 10 years ago, and the pump was original. The pump is a Pentair Intelliflo VS-3050, 3 hp. I had noticed some paint failure and corrosion around the...

I have a in ground pool and spa, with 4 water features. 1 over flow from the spa to the pool. 2 deck floor jets. 3 side falls. 4 shallow deck jets. The pool pump was only 1.5 HP and could not run all the features at one. So I up graded to a 3HP Pentair pool pump, but I’m still having the same...

Hi everyone, I had a 2 year old 1.5hp 230v pump that started to trip the breaker every time it was turned on. The pump begins to spin, water begins to move, and within about a second, a small audible poof/pop electrical sound can be heard, and the breaker trips - I haven't been able to...

My pump pressure is running high lately even after hosing down the cartridge 3-4 times. It starts at 8 psi and in 20 minutes or so, goes up to 16 psi. I had a lot of algae in it last month as I was out of town for several weeks. I ended up shocking the pool and washing the cartridge, but still...

Added 20 CYA yesterday so I ran the pump overnight to circulate. When I went out this morning I noticed that the pad at was damp at the base of the pump. At first I was worried that I had a leak and that I hadn’t noticed til now because the hot air evaporates it before I get home. But I couldn’t...

I recently changed by set up from a jandy Ray vac pool side cleaner to a Polaris with booster pump pool side cleaner. I Jerry rigged the old set up like in the photo. I’m willing to get a variable speed, it will cut electricity costs, but can my new set up still work with a variable speed?

Hey guys. I'm still very new around here, but wanted to reach out for some opinions. Basically my pool is still in construction. the equipment was set down a few weeks ago by the plumbers. I took a look at it and it seems like they put my pump in a very inconvenient orientation? So it...

Hello everyone, Our pool pump is leaking in a major way. Can anyone help identify the parts we should order to repair? The leak is clearly at the junction between the wet and dry part of the pump (see attached photos). First photo is from below the pump, wet side is to the right of the photo...

Pentair Intelliflo variable speed pump turns louder (it is about 50% more sound, but quite noticeable since it is not like normal pump motor white noise, but more like "grinding" sound or with some tones (no high pitch tho), or like the sound when pump runs at much higher speed. Pump is set to...

Hello Fellow TFP Members! I recently upgraded my pool set up with the following: IntelliFlo VSF (3HP) MasterTemp 400k NG Heater IC40 SWG BioShield UV So far I love it compared to my past equipment. Just setting the flow level on the pump, a heater that can raise the temp of the pool 2 - 4...

I returned from a vacation to find my Jandy ePump (Variable Speed JEP1.5) making noises like the bearings are shot. I have looked all over for the part number for replacement bearings but have not had any success. I have ordered and received the mechanical seal, which may be the problem, but...

Guys, I am requesting thoughts on using one variable speed pump (Pentair - IntelliFlo VSF 011056) for the following pool/spa combo build; * Pool - 25k - 30k gallons * Spa - 8-10 jets w/ spillover * Waterfall (90gpm) * (2) Bubblers * (3) Laminars Would a single VSP be a great option for this...

Need/would like to replace my LCD Display for Pump (SP3400VSP)… To date I have not been able to find specific instructions... I have a replacement ready to go... I've programmed it the same as my old one... It indicates that it's running but it is not... I've reset it and reprogrammed it but I...

Hi all, I recently had an IntelliFlo installed. The installer set the pump to run at 2500 RPM when the system is in pool mode. In that mode, the spa's spillway is active and flows the water from the spa to the pool. However, I cannot feel any water flow coming from the pool returns. I can...

Can anyone provide some advice for me. I was wondering if I would be able to connect my new Hayward HP21254T heater to the same timer (Intermatic T104P3) as my pool pump (USQ1152 - 115/230 volt 1.5 hp). Currently, the pump is the only thing attached to the timer. The timer is connected to a 60...

Have the newer version of the Century Pump... Just replaced the pump itself... And now this... Hoping for a really cost effective way to replace only what’s cracked or seal this up with a plumber-grade sealant..

Manually vacuumed the pool into the skimmer. Our auto leaf vac is getting new tubes. Had a brain fart and lifted the vacuum out of the water. Air got sucked into our only intake/skimmer. I freaked out and ran to turn off the pump. Emptied pump basket. Waited a minute and turned it back on. Water...
