Hello forum. I recently purchased a house with an existing pool. I want to give a huge thank you to the forum for getting us started on the right foot. The pool is clear, running well, and levels are good. I was also able to diagnose a ground fault problem and replace the spa light without much fuss. However, I need help beyond the scope of existing topics (specific to my setup).
I just noticed that my pump is leaking. It looks like it may be original to the pool which is 15-20 years old so it’s probably at the end or well past the end of its life. I have an ~11,500 gallon pool with overflow spa. The pump drives the pool and one jet in the spa for overflow in pool mode and drives the spa in spa mode. I have a separate pump for the water feature and a booster for the Polaris. You can see the setup in the picture. The current pump is a single speed 2HP pentair.
1. What would be an appropriate replacement pump? I would be interested in efficiency gains as long as they pay for themselves and don’t impact performance.
2. Does anything need to be replaced along with the pump?
3. The pump is leaking very slowly. How quickly do I have to replace it?
4. What other configuration changes might make sense when replacing a pump? Are there other efficiencies I can build in to what is probably a dated setup?
I have an RS-8 controller with an RS-6 remote panel. All the aux spots on the remote panel are full (pump, blower, cleaner, spa light, pool lights). Thanks!
