. i have an in ground pool. This could drain the pool down to the skimmer, or possibly much lower in some cases, so keep a close eye on any leak and look for signs of worsening. I have called a repair company since the pump is under warranty and they told me that it is almost NEVER the pump and therefore if it is something else I will have to pay $89/hour for their serviceso I was hoping to exhaust all other possibilities before coughing up the moneyCan you recommend any tests that I can do?

Oh, and prepare yourself, a new motor or pump may be needed soon. Hi Davy~ if the motor is generating too much heat, this temp sensor will trip and shut off the pump. Turned everything off, let the motor cool off and tried again. The problem lies where the power dies [note to readers: motor cycling is not the same as pump cycling, where the water flow starts and stops, here I am talking about the motor itself starting/stopping], I have a Hayward sp2607x10 pump. Excuse my ignorance, but what could be the problem? I bought same pump and electrician put on old twist lock cord from previous pump.

Hi Terri, when you connect the vacuum hose to the skimmer to start vacuuming, this is like increasing the length of the pipe from the pool to the pump, which makes the pump have to work harder, kind of like drinking through a very long straw. Any ideas why this would happen? If the blower prover switch opens during the postpurge cycle (heater is not firing) the control will display the error code. The leak at the bottom of the pump, determine if its coming from the top of the pump and dripping down the sides, or if the leak is coming from directly under the pump, in the first case its usually the exit pipe threads are loose, and in the second case, its a leaking shaft seal or leaking drain plug, or sometimes a leaking volute o-ring, or the large o-ring between the seal plate and the pump housing. New gauge was ordered. Is the motor set to accept 220V, and matching what you measure at the motor terminals? Hi Chuong, the Leslies RS750CA is the same as the Hayward Super II pump, which are $500-$600. Although in low speed, chlorine is not generated so not sure why even run the low speed. Inspect the centrifugal switch on the end of the shaft and the stationary switch mounted at 6 oclock and contacting the central centrifugal switch make sure all are intact and tightly secured, and not bent, broken or affected by mud or insects.

Also could be a loose stationary switch (motor rear, 6 oclock) or a loose centrifugal switch (motor rear, dead center). i removed the filter fingers and cleaned numerous times. just replaced t15 on a rev 1.45 aqua rite and the default salt reading now is 4. K-1766 Taylor Salt Test },
Any idea what could be the culprit? A very thin layer of rust develops between the stator and the rotor inside the motor, and getting a 7/16 open end wrench on the end of the shaft, and working it back and forth, breaks the rust and frees up the shaft to spin. Inspect the capacitor (black cylinder, 9 oclock) and the centrifugal switch, (on the end of the motor shaft), for any signs of damage or looseness. Commonly appears on drain plugs, pump lids, pipe that screws into pump, or on incoming valves, like your Jandy. We opened the pool this spring and the pressure rises after 15 to 20 minutes. Thanks Davy for your quick reply. If all good, check the capacitor, at 9 oclock, looking for bulging or cracking or burned marks. Seems impeller is not turning, does it turn both ways or one way?

The waterfall pump should be a simple system, just a suction line and a return line (no valves? My pump keeps overheating and shutting off. We knows its not electrical. If lots of air churns when you shut the pump off, and the water quickly blasts out of the pump, thats likely a suction side air leak. Shut off power at the breaker to all pool equipment I set up to measure motor current, using 100amp, 100mv shunt, the current draw is 6.5 amps @241V (Pump pressure about 17-18 psi) Be sure the wiring is tight on both ends. Does it only do this when vacuuming, but otherwise runs fine? Hi Don, we call that surging and it is usually caused by an air leak on the suction side, which is usually on the pump lid o-ring, or a loose threaded fitting, coming into the pump, or sometimes a leaky skimmer or main drain valve but the problem is always before the impeller You can use shaving cream around the pump lid, pipe and valves, turn on the pump, and see where it gets sucked in, or sometimes the problem is evident without such a messy test. It can also be a loose pump lid allowing air to creep in around the o-ring. Or do I have a friction issue in the impeller?

I opened the back and everything looks fine, Hi Matthew, the pump capacitor is the first suspect, it may be weak and needs replacement. Hi Leah, when the pump is barely pumping, the problem is either in front of the pump or after the pump. In such case, filter pressure is lower than normal, if the impeller is clogged. Was working fine until I backwashed and cleaned the basket by the pump. Bump shaft or diaphragm gasket? Hello , This is an inactive thread. No air leaks and it only does this as the heater warms the water up during hot days. At a total loss here, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Check fan and shroud for blockage. },
If you see any damage, replace your flow switch. If thats what is happening, then the cause of the overheating could be incorrect voltage or fluctuating voltage, incorrect wire size (from breaker or timer to motor), faulty wiring between some of the switches in the rear of the motor, or bad shaft bearings, or poor airflow or blocked air vents, or in some cases, very poor water flow. In either case, a new vacuum hose of good quality should fix the issue. Pool Heaters have a thermostat, and just like a house heater, they turn themselves on/off to maintain a temperature.

If your new pump is the exact same make/model/horsepower as the old pump, then the pump is not the problem but if you switched make/models check the pump flow curve, because even though it may be the same hp, different make/model pool pumps produce Vastly different flow rates. I am getting 24VAC from top Rectifier to PCB Input, says it should be 12VAC. Hi Carolyn, When a pump displays those symptoms, its usually an air leak or a collapsed suction hose, or a very dirty filter. I tried -no way .then 3 very strong men all tried all of them had to put stress on the plumbing pipes to get the darn thing loosened at all ..what a NGHTMARE no we are not over tightening any suggestions?

thanks. It doesnt mean it is ready to go at 230. It trips 20amp breaker after running 5 or 10 second. HI Alberto, if a motor is overheating, it normally takes about 15-20 minutes, and then the thermal overload switch, located in the rear of the motor, will trip, shutting off the pump for about 15-20 minutes, until it is cool enough to start again, on its own. Works great minus the vacuum created is so great that getting the lid off of the basket is so great a breaker bar is needed to remove it. Flip the switch opposite, and you should be all set.
