without resistance.. I have a Hayward purflex ec50ac. I was having to bump it frequently but then this happened and I don’t know what to do.

I have a hayward sand filter. I took the motor inside to the basement, but the filter is too heavy to move. Where should I store it. Can I store it in the shed? What if I get a grill cover and leave it outside? Is that an option?
I called the manufacturer and they actually said I can leave the sand filter outside so long as i drain it and put it in the winter position. they said i should not cover it because that will cause condensation and could lead to rust of internal parts. sunlight does not affect it at all. thanks anyway.

Last year we developed a problem in our line. jets in pool work fine although we do have some air coming through one of jets in shallow end which I know to be bad if you see bubbles. Anyways , no suction. Cant vacuum the pool with the hose and our Hayward sand filter. I backwash and do everything I am supposed to. I think I need to replace the sand as I have never done this since moving in 3 years ago. We do have a leak but right now what I need are answers on how to remove the debris (dirt silt some grass and a lot of algae dust ) I shocked pool and its is clear and clean but leftover algae on bottom, and a lot of it. I bought one of those portable vacuums but it wont clean this ampount of dirt and debris. Do pool companies have a good size portable vacuum that does not need to be connected to my filter and hose? Is there a chemical burn off that is safe for vinyl pools and will burn this off. I need this fixed but need to know more because pool guys not real helpful when I call.

This filter is an ec65 Hayward system. I put in the recommended 6 lbs of earth ( per side of filter). This has been going on for the last couple of years. It starts off at 7 lbs of pressure, where it should be, and within minutes goes to 15 lbs or higher. Can’t figure it out.
Don’t know the age, the pump / filter came with house / pool 7 years ago with sale of house. The filter has a drop ring of nylon fingers. The filter uses Earth (calcium) as the additive.

GAULDING
asked: I am replacing a pool pump with a Hayward Super Pump which is set from the factory at 230 volts. I can switch it to 115 volts if needed, but not sure if I need to. My breaker from the box is a 20 amp…Does anyone know which it needs to be set on? I could seriously use some advice. Thanks!
Here’s some additional info if this helps right off the sticker on the motor:
Make: SP-1607621-M
Model: C48KZN143B1
HP: 1 Horse power
Volts: 115/230
Max Load: 15.0 amps
On the old pump it does state 230 volts on the motor, but I don’t see a way to make it 115 volts instead, so I could assume that it was 230 volts on a 20 amp breaker??
Also, the wiring is confusing too as it seems backwards from the old pump. It has the green wire (obviously ground) then it has a black and red wire as well. On the old pump the back was attached to the pole L1 and the white (old pump) was attached to L2, but I am not sure with the new one??
UPDATE: I did notice that the old wiring was 12 gauge wire, which according to my diagram says it would be then 115v with 20 amp breaker….
The new wiring I got was 10 gauge, can I still use this?
The pump is hard wired, not used with a household plug. The wiring I was referring to was the wiring from the pump to the timing box incased in a flexible conduit. I bought 10 gauge wire instead of 12g for the 115v or 14g for the 230v…I made an error and that might be why the wires we green, red and black?
It is a single pole 20 amp breaker. I was told from a local friend that I should use 115v option with the single pole 20 amp breaker (currently installed) and use 12 gauge wire…. Is there any other option if I want to go to the 230 volts instead?

I have a Hayward inground pool pump. THis season the impeller was locked up (rusted) so I fixed it. Now when I turn pump on it vibrates and shakes so bad it kicks breaker off. What causes a pump to vibrate and shake like this? I am at a loss and can’t afford a new pump.

When I run it. The other day a hose came loose and I lost a lot of water out of the pool and it was running dry for some time. Immediately afterward it didn’t make this sound but now it does whenever it is on. Does it need lubing or is it damaged or some kind of other maintenance?? It still runs the filter.

PSI through my pool filtration system has suddenly dropped significantly from 10-15 PSI to less than 5 PSI when my Hayward Pool Vac is attached. I believe the Vac does typically reduce PSI slightly, in the 10 PSI range, but not to the extreme it is now.
This problem started only over the last couple of days. If I remove the vac, from the end of the hose, PSI returns to normal.
I did an initial inspection of the Vac, and did not see any obstructions, though I would not rule that out. Is this a common problem?
PIPPENGER
When the pre-pump filter basked cover (hayward) leaked on the first occassion, we changed the cover and o-ring and lubricant. After a few hours it leaked again and we could not get a seal so we replaced the basket assembley and once again could not create a seal. So we replaced the cover/ring/lube again and watched for signs of heat buildup and there was none. Yet, after a few hours the cover warped/leaked again. So on and so forth and we are seeking help in finding the cause so we can fix the problem.
