Spray some ant killer around, and replace the capacitor, but first, check all connections, maybe check incoming power (to the motor) if you have a test meter. Flipped the breakers back on this morning after problem fixed. Check that there is no additional valve to open on the backwash line, and if a flexible backwash hose is used, that it is rolled out. You may be able to remove the basket and reach thru the volute to the eye of the impeller, and may be able to feel debris. Anyone else have a scientific explanation? Could it be a bad cord? Sandy, some hoses are clamped onto hose adapters, using a worm clamp or radiator clamp that tightens the hose to the hose adapter. Remove all of the bolts around the top and pull out the Filter Nest, or all of the fingers. I ended up buying a new Hayward pump online however dont want this to happen again. Scoop out debris left in basket area, and try again. HI David, did anyone empty the pump basket recently? Occasionally the salt level on the Hayward Aqua Rite may not match the actual salt level of the pool. You will get much more visibility by. Thoughts? Thanks, good question. We just verified all our time settings. Does anyone know how to reset an sf error code after a new thermistor has been installed? Did not raise red flags, amature lol. If your previous pump was also 230V, as it likely was Im not sure what could be the problem, probably not a bad pump, but maybe some wire is disconnected, from the terminal board to the capacitor, for example, or otherwise mis-wired, internally perhaps? Hi Shannon, the bolts are spinning. We are getting a reading o the remote stating chlorinator is turned off High Temperature. Humming Motor: If the pump motor makes a humming sound when starting up, you likely have a clogged impeller. If thats not the air leak, check the pump lid o-ring, Superpump square lid rings sometimes get twisted easily. If it sounds loud and grumbly, that can be a sign of cavitation, being starved for water, from not enough water being supplied (it wants more). Please tell me if this is normal or do I need to change anything? Could have been an outlet problem too, make sure wires or terminals arent touching anything except each other. All Hi Jim, bummer! dr myers ultrasound. It could also be a clogged impeller or clogged filter, or clogged skimmer line. Most likely, and unfortunately yes. I backwash and rinse and start again but it does the same thing. 5. Please help! Low speed should be enough flow to activate the flow switch. When, Swimming pool pumps that are noisy can keep you from enjoying peaceful naps by the pool, or can keep your neighbors up, In-Floor pool cleaners have been around since the 70's when they became the answer to the complaints about traditional pool cleaners. Thanks. An excessive temperature difference between the two thermistors (5 F or more) or an out of bounds condition on both sensors (less than 10F or greater than 180F) will result in the error code. There are some pumps that will draw air in thru a faulty shaft seal, which will leak water, dripping below the pump, when the pump shuts off. otherwise all else seems to read ok. Id check the cell number just to confirm it is the TCELL15. Whats the best and safest way to troubleshoot? Automation, Learn About Hi Joe, I would first suspect an air leak, Superpumps can also draw air from a loose drain plug and easily around the square lid gasket but the usual suspect is the pipe coming into the pump. I have purchased a Hayward SP 158015 Power-floLX series 1 1/2 horsepower Above Ground pool pump along with a Hayward S166T Proseries sandfilter 16 inch top mount for a 15 ft above ground proseries pool. If the yellow dial is bent, or the switch is bent, or the timer dog is broken or mispositioned, it can bypass the timer dog and not shut off hope that helps!?! Please help! Thank you so much, likely not a fan or impeller problem, because at 3500 RPM (or less), it would wear down anything broken in just a few minutes. Can I replace this pump housing or do I need a new pump? Within the underground world of Japan, and the world at large, a certain man is known as the Evil Emperor. I have it set to run for 3 hours in low speed and 5 in high. Is this just a problem with the thermostat button do you think? Below is a list of common issues that can arise with your Hayward pool heater. Hi LInda, humming or buzzing, and not starting could be a few things first check that the shaft is spinning, either by spinning on the impeller end, or at the rear of the motor (power Off in both cases), to be sure the shaft is not bound up or seized. That motor is sometimes used on the Hayward Superpump which is the only pump with a SQUARE pump basket. 2. pump lid Zero on the gauge indicates no water flow, so if not an air leak it could be a clogged line, pump basket or impeller. heres the motor: https://www.intheswim.com/p/hayward-super-pump-pool-pump-motor-1-5-hp-threaded-shaft and the seal: https://www.intheswim.com/p/hayward-super-pump-shaft-seal-assembly-spx1600z2. Unusual, but it could be the only problem, I would replace the capacitor with the same size (match the MFD number), and check that the shaft rotates freely when mounted to the pump. The ampage to the pump has been the same since we got the pump 7 years ago and never had this issue before. If they are tight, pull out the cartridge and drain the tank whatever it is may be laying in the bottom of the tank. Is the pump pot filling full of water, or does it ever catch prime fully? Hi Freddy, usually a clicking noise may be a relay, which are used in control systems for pools. Thanks! Attached please find a copy of the Aqua Plus Operation Manual Please note Section - Configuration Menu Items, Cell Type Selection, page 16. I removed it and put the old pump back (20 years old), it works and does not shut down. So, it either needs a new motor, or new internal parts, or possibly a whole new pump. It need not be a fancy $100 meter, it can be a $10 meter from Radio Shack. Thanks Davy for your quick reply. What is happening is that the pump pulls so hard that either an air leak around the pump develops, or the vacuum hose or pool to pump hose begins to crimp and collapse. The filter caterige is brand new too. Inspect the pipe/union connections on the suction side for loose connections or damaged pipes. Hi Rob, there could still have been some sand in the pipes yes, and thats probably the problem. If it is a 15amp breaker, but the pump wants 9amps and the aquatrol wants 7 amps, (for example, made-up numbers) thats a total of 16amps, too much. My first thought is that the breaker may be too small for the amount of amps needed to start each piece of equipment. All components of the Aqua Rite System are showing good readings and appears to be all set correctly. God bless your heart! Note: Antimicrobial properties are built in to the blue filter media to inhibit the growth of bacteria that may affect this product. It could possibly be a bad cord, or a bad outlet, or loose wires on pump or outlet. There was alot of debris once I removed the assemblies and some water below wiring. Or, 2). Also, I wonder if it matters or not which filter would be best, the Hayward EC50AC (AG), or sp2607x10 EC65A (IG). I turned it on and it ran fine for about one hour. Check the switches in the back of the motor, the centrifugal on the end of the shaft, and the stationary, mounted at 6 oclock, to look for any loose screws or insects, or mis-alignment. Just bought a hayward super II pump. I think it only screws on in one direction, but unscrew it to check When in Filter Position, water should route in only one direction. A spike below 100V or above 140V, could blow a capacitor. "caption": "In The Swim Blog"
What could be wring? Are I on the right track? Good luck! You can also turn off the pump at the breaker which provides power to the timer. Well call it assy B. Assy B has a bad on/off switch that sparks when you try to dislodge it from its position, but DOES start and run, until I unplug it. Also possible that the rubber is damaged, inspect closely for signs of wear while cleaning it. Motor wiring is pretty simple, green to ground and the other two wires, doesnt matter which one, go to terminals L1 and L2. Hello, my motor runs for 20 seconds then stops. Blower will operate until error condition is corrected. A pool guy who has since stopped operating put it in. Hi Davy. Hi David, yes! Also inspect other wires in the back, look for any pinched wires, or wires touching each other. Hi, I have 2 issues with my 1530 above pool. ), you have it primed full of water? What seems to be the problem. Hi Matt, sound like the bearings have gone bad, and now they are so bad that the shaft has locked up or is binding, and that trips the breaker. Many valve actuators have a small toggle switch that can be used to activate the valve motor, to turn the valve, it may have gotten switched accidentally and is closing off Spa Jets (when it should be closing off pool returns). A less common cause of water out of the waste line is a broken Spring, under the handle, indicated by a floppy handle or difficulty turning the valve, I have a Hayward Super Pump it will run for about 1 to 2 hours and then it shuts off once it cools off for an hour or so I can turn it back on it will run again the water flow its good its just shuts off when it gets hot, Hi Steve; check that you have good air flow all around the pump, and above. Then it wouldnt turn back on. Contact a professional for further assistance. It worked when fine for a couple of times but only clicks now. Hayward, Create a Pool Owner It DOES turn on. https://www.facebook.com/inyopoolsFOLLOW us on TWITTER! I checked the breakers, plumbing, control panel, plumbingjust need to know if I shud prepare myself to buy a replacement. A leaking shaft seal or drain plug could also drain the pump after some time. It had a non Hayward motor installed before. It ran and then we shut it off. Hello, Just bought a house with a pool in January. Make sure that the fitting that goes into the pump has no air leaks, which is the most common air leak area. Hayward has a 4 year warranty on these drives. hI, the impeller ring should go small side toward the impeller, they are often marked as such. i hope this helps, but I am also maybe missing something. 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.
