Crud an I tired!! After dragging his rear for a month, my handyman brother in law came out and ran all new wire for the pool house and the pump. We've finished all new plumbing and electrical for our new Hayward Super Pump VS. We're still having an issue picking up prime, but got it running for now. My gut says the new pump is a snot haired taller than the old one allowing air to enter the system. Going tomorrow to mess more and get a better view in the light. The pools been open about 2 weeks and is turning green. Didn't wanna mess with shocking this year, but it looks like I'll have to.
Note to self....make sure you ask if current pump is 110 or 220 when making suggestions for pumps on the site. I messed up and ordered a 220 pump, but the wire was only for a 110.
