    Pentair Intelliflo VS (WhisperFlo) whining noise

    See video here: The whine started in the past few weeks. It originally was just the pump primed/turned on - but has now become somewhat constant. This is a pretty annoying noise/can be heard by the pool and my neighbors so I'd like to address it. Any thoughts on how best to debug this/fix it?

    WhisperFlo not flowing, but motor is normal

    Yesterday, I noticed that my volute wasn't filling completely, regardless which valve was on (floor, skimmer, or vacuum).

    We have Pentair Whisperflo which is mainly used for the waterfall. We usually have it run 15 minutes weekly up until we had our freeze back in February. Since then, we have minor leak with the pump so we only run it for waterfall only when we need to, not weekly anymore. Today, I found algae...

    New Pump Motor - Leaking From Bolt Hole

    I replaced the motor (century motor B2854) on my Whisperflo pool pump (Schematic). I bought a new seal kit, and replaced items 11, 16, and 9. On 11 and 9 I used some lubricant when installing. On 16, I put some silicone around the side that goes into the seal plate, and nothing around the side...
