Also use a rag to clean the surfaces that mate on the pump body. If you see any damage, replace your flow switch. Please help! UNK the , . Thank you very much in advance. "@type": "Organization",
Hi Rodney, well the Green wire should be ground, so that eliminates one choice. It is good to let hayward know, because if they had a run of bad bearings, they will know about it, and want to know about it, and are more likely to help, if out of warranty. Though it is a different control, they use the same cell; so if you are getting a temperature reading of 215, you need to replace the cell. I replaced the breaker and electrical plug which showed some damage but motor does not start and breaker still tripping "address": "",
The pump shuts off because it trips the circuit breaker in the house. Mark. All breakers have some wiggle to them usually, but a very loose breaker could be a hazard for arcing or even fire so should be checked out, if so. Any suggestions or ideas as to why it is not producing chorine in regular mode? Do you have the correct cell size chosen in your diagnostics menu? Please tell me if this is normal or do I need to change anything? Could also be loose connections on the wires, or insect infestation on the contacts. Is it plug and play? Dont let pool pump problems drive you crazy! Now when it is turned on it works for a few seconds then stops pumping and makes a humming sound. When I turned off the pump I saw that it spit a little bit of water out of a Jandy Valve. Maybe thats off. Hi probably not related to the vacuuming, but sounds like a motor problem. Hi Douglas, it could be the capacitor, if youre lucky. I have chalked all the connections and lubricated the basket seal. If the pump plugs into an outlet, I would check the GFCI button to be sure the outlet has not popped or tripped. Pat. What do you think is the problem? Shut down the power to the pump from the breaker for 15 minutes turn back on and try to run the pump. registration, authorized I tried starting again one morning but the pump wont start. I assumed electrical issue but when I checked the voltage at the back of the motor and it was good I am at a loss. Shaft seal went out twice and I have a groove in the motor shaft now. Or maybe a clamp? If the salt cell is clean but the salt reading is off, the Aqua Rite will need to be recalibrated. ), or 4) loose suction side valves, I have a hayward 1081 century with 3/4 hp motor with top mounted capacitor. Maybe the transformer is not functioning properly? Humming Motor: If the pump motor makes a humming sound when starting up, you likely have a clogged impeller. Pull out the pump basket and reach back thru the volute to feel the impeller with your fingertips (pump off, lol), if you feel any debris, reach in with needlenose pliers, or pull apart the pump and ream the impeller vanes with a length of wire or a small screwdriver. The control panel says that theres a driver error. Inspect the circuit board, blow off with some air, and look closely at the 3 wires for any insects, spiderwebs or corrosion of any type. Hi, we just installed a new AquaRite unit and it has been running for 48 hrs The salt level is 3100 ppm (pool store also confirmed and tested the water, no issues detected with the water). 220v. It could also be that the power cord is not rated for 15 amps, which is the likely size of the breaker for the outlet (but check the breaker amp size). They just reopened my pool. Im having an air leak problem with my pool. This is a salt pool not sure if that matters in the question. Hi lindsay, pump motors are normally too hot to touch, they run about 140 to the touch. Our switch seems to be getting power- a voltage tester confirms this but pump makes zero sound when switch is turned on. Your thoughts? The waterfall pump should be a simple system, just a suction line and a return line (no valves? Hi, like some of the other comments, when a pump basket doesnt fully fill with water, doesnt fully catch prime the first thing is to rule out an Air Leak, on the suction side. If it does not, keep reading. If not those, it could also be a short in the motor windings, which would be a major failure, requiring a new motor. Any suggestions? Just replaced the upper lid on my Vari-flow and spider gasket, also changed out 300 lbs filter sand. Any new postings here are unlikely to be seen or responded to by other members. Breville Tamper Coffee Kit 54mm, If it is new, you may have undersized the cell, or your water chemistry is imbalanced, preventing the chlorine from working efficiently and effectively. The correct lateral assy for the S210 filter would be the SX210DA if you used a smaller assy, the pipe wont reach all the way into (inside of) the multiport valve base, and allow sand to enter the pipe but just a theory, you likely used the correct and full height SX210DA? When it shuts off, you could also test power, to be sure power is still reaching the motor, with a multimeter tester. The motor can be tested briefly without being bolted onto the pump. This worked well until about 4 years ago, when I replaced it with a similar pump, a Hayward sp2607x10. Pump shutoff during 24 hours of pouring rain. Any insight would be helpful. My pump seems to be working fine but Im having an issue with the flow pulsating out of the filter. Took it to pool mart and they cleaned it out and said everything was fine inside it. Turned everything off, let the motor cool off and tried again. the loosed its prime again. I also tried it in a different place same outcome.What am I doing wrong? Would the lack of enough sand cause the water to gush out of the top of the filter? I think the problem is a nick in the face of the salt cell that the unions o-ring seals against, but I cant feel anything there so its not like a giant burr or anything. Air can also be drawn into the pump from leaky suction side valves (skimmer or main drain). I checked pool water supply and dont feel any water coming but my pump is still running but nothing is moving in pool. Pump is less than 3 years old. Not sure whats wrong. switch in the center. Most Common areas include the pump lid (must be very tight, with lubed lid o-ring), and the threaded pipe that comes into the FRONT of the pump (must be very tight and sealed if loose, use Pool Putty to fix, or replace the fitting) the effluent or exit pipe fitting leaking will not draw air, that is on the pressure side not the suction side. Do we need a new pump or can the electrical cord be replaced? If they are within range, replace drive. Cap is fine, so I lost. We are trying to switch the jumper or selector plug (not sure what its called) from 230 to 115 but the jumper doesnt seem to fit smoothly on the 115 setting the prongs it has to slide over seem too far apart and Im afraid of breaking it. That is the black cylinder in the rear of the motor, located at 9 oclock. I have mud in my filter so I guess I have a underground broken pipe. With the pump off, remove the basket and reach your hand back into the eye of the impeller. Backwashing or cleaning the pump basket is the usual fix. Harwil type flow switches can become damaged over time and will need replacement at some point. If your pump is made of plastic, it must be the bearings, failing so hard that it is causing the motor to overheat. I have an older Haywood super pump 3/4 hp, i replaced it with a new 3/4 hp motor. When we turned it on heard a pop and blew fuse. of and in " a to was is ) ( for as on by he with 's that at from his it an were are which this also be has or : had first one their its new after but who not they have 25 The following steps will provide a guide on how to recalibrate a Hayward Aqua Rite. "description": "Is your Hayward pool pump not working right? any ideas? . ), it could be a bad breaker, they can fail or become too sensitive with age. Third possibility is the pipe size is too small, and your 90 gpm pump may be starved for water. Usually get 3-4x that long. God bless your heart! Some pumps are stronger than some hose, so check to see if the hose is not collapsing under the suction, during the issue. However, many inground pools do not run the pump 24/7, but operate it from 12-18 hrs daily, depending on the need, and the ability of the filtration system and sanitation efforts, etc Some small systems do need to run 24/7, but a properly sized system has a timeclock, to set it to run for around 12 hours per day (less during cool periods, more during hot spells)>. Holding the shaft stationary (so it wont turn), unthread the impeller, counter clockwise, to remove. You can, if possible, vacuum to waste by setting the multiport on the Drain to Waste setting, and then vacuuming fast you will discharge silty debris out of the pool. Should I shut down my system until I can get this fixed or is it safe for the motor to continue operation? Do you have any idea what I need to do to remedy the problem. I have a new pump and brand new grid inside my filter i have no leaks after about 10 minutes my jets stop i back wash filter and it works for about 10 min again i am stumped. Even if it looks good, it could be bad. I next realized the shaft (impellers) was frozen, and was able to free it up so it now spins smoothly. Hi thanks for speedy reply the breaker is 20 amp with a GFCI. All There should be at least 12 of straight pipe before the switch. Typically, the LED light should shut off after 60 seconds. Can I replace this pump housing or do I need a new pump? I just went out there to crank them up, after 10 minutes they shut off. They are cheap and easy to replace. I sent a sample to the store and my salt level is 3400 and the reading shown is 4300. Ive been told my Hayward Vsp has been shutting itself off for low power issues, even though no power issues are present. It overheated very badly, even burning the hayward sticker off the pump itself maybe a month ago. The second thing that can cause such a problem is if the pump is starved for water, cavitating, because it is too large (hp) for the piping system, or because incoming valves are closed, or pipes are plugged, or clogged.
I would also suspect the outlet or breaker, but you have tried a different one with the same result. Hi Davy,I have a Hayward pump and its not priming.The basket is only filling up halfway with water. I have a Hayward C900 Filter. The pump stopped priming and allowed water to just flow through but not pressurize the closed filter basket part that is right before the pumpso it looks like a waterfall in the basket flowing from the pipe coming from the pool to the lower end going into the filter. Thanks, John, according to the manual, CEL is the code for Panel not receiving data from control. It appeared that I couldve pulled them right off if I tried. No leaks, pressure is good, suction is good, connections seem right. Hayward recommends 1.5 PVC pipe, and more than one line, (i.e. 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. "height": "219",
I would turn it off and it would hum and eventually start. I completely back washed and clean the system two times making sure the filter was put together properly and there were no holes in either the manifold or the filter grids. There is an internal fan, near the front of the motor, but it is inside and hard to see. When pump start it work fine but after few hours water stop moving. Well, the good news is you are at the right spot and youre definitely not alone. IF its a broken off grease cap, tap in a sharp screwdriver into where it threads in, to get some bite, and then slowly and firmly back out the broken off threaded connector, turning CCW, then replace with a new Grease Cap, or a 1/8 threaded plug. . Could also be a vibration noise, or rocks/pebbles in the pump basket. Finally, if the new superpump is larger than the old one, the amperage draw may be too much for the breaker. We have a Hayward 1.5 lx. Hi, it could be the filter, and if so, the pressure on the gauge would be high during operation usually. For multiport valves, the Spider Gasket inside can become worn, torn or twisted. "primaryImageOfPage": {
HI Bernard, sounds like it could have cavitation, or a pipe diameter that is too small but pipe is the same. Thanks for your insight. Motors are hot normally, 140 degrees or so, but if it shuts off and then resets and turns on again after 15-20 mins, it could be overheating, from voltage problems, loose connections, motor board, switch or capacitor wiring problems, or internal winding shorts. Just bought a hayward super II pump. Make sure the stationary switch, triangular shaped, screwed in at 6 oclock, is tight and intact. Had the filter for 3 years. Approx. The cap is located at 9 oclock in the rear of the motor, when they go bad, they sometimes bulge or crack, or turn brown or smell strongly of burnt wires They are cheap to replace, worth a shot, replace with identical MFD number. Inspect and tighten the suction and discharge connections using Teflon tape. 3 No air bubbles on my returns when not vacuuming Next time it happens, check power on the timeclock, or inspect the motor, looking thru the visual motor check window (again, only on Intermatic clocks), if no power is getting to the clock, replace the breaker, and/or wiring. Hello, my motor runs for 20 seconds then stops. I open the plastic door, fill with water and sometimes need to do this several times in order for it to keep going. Id call the install tech for troubleshooting. If I prime the pump and turn it on it runs fine but when I turn it off and let it set for a few minutes you can hear it cheering then the water in the pump evacuates and there appears to be some water coming from the bottom of the pump. Inspect the motor for any burns evident on the casing as many times, an overheating motor will be shorted across the windings, and will soon fail. Replace the plumbing with a new fitting, using a silicone thread sealant and 3-4 wraps of teflon tape clockwise. When you installed the new lateral assy, did the standpipe come all the way up to the top of the tank, and insert neatly into the bottom of the multiport valve? Hi Davy, I have a Hayward Super II which has been running well for years. switch and to the capacitor, to be sure nothing is loose or no crimped wires. Display seems to be reading correctly and shows the cell is not generating. Hi, it does sound like a bad seal yes. Sandy, some hoses are clamped onto hose adapters, using a worm clamp or radiator clamp that tightens the hose to the hose adapter. My pressure is normal , no water being sucked in from basket and a MINOR trickle coming back out into the pool. The repair for such an issue is to remove the 6 screws around the lid (dont lose the nuts), and pull the handle to lift the key assembly out of the valve body, where you can inspect the gasket, in the area of the backwash port. Hi Heidi, it sounds like maybe the plumbing could be reversed? I have an Ecostar That has developed a pinhole spray leak at the top of where the pump housing oring sits between the pump and motor. One thing I discovered is that if I place it in super chlorinate mode today, once the pool pump shuts down for the day, the next day when it turns back on, it will be back in regular chlorinate mode even if the switch is still in super chlorinate mode. Dont know if I need a new pump or what. I swapped the pump assembly with an almost identical Hayward that I found in the garage (bonus!) Use a flashlight, and you should see gears moving thru the small view hole. Guess it is time for a new drive. Another check to do is to place the multiport valve on recirculate, which bypasses the filter, and will let you know for sure that the problem is in the filter sand. Does a Hayward super pump wired on 230v have to have a controller?.. When I turned the pump on it is very loud and the pump is not moving water. LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the In a Quirked world where most people have a superpower-like uniqueness to them, His is among the most dangerous. thoughts? Hi James, I would think that could be one of the E-clips used on the bump shaft may have broken off, or an o-ring has slipped off. Holes in grids, or stitching coming apart New pump probably not a shaft seal problem, just loose clamp band or volute bolts. Yours may have become weak, or damaged somehow. Could be a loose lid, or the basket not re-placed properly, and a clogged pump impeller. After about 15minutes the pump stopped and the motor was super hot. thank you Kelly. The pump works and will pump out whatever water is in the line, but wont prime and suck the water from the pool. It spins easily by hand and doesnt make any noise. I replaced the pump thinking it was bad. Posted: (10 days ago) Posted: (5 days ago) Mountainside Fitness is located at 9375 E Bell Rd, Scottsdale, AZ 85260.Mountainside Fitness can be contacted at (480) 502-2096. If they wont or cant fix it, call a electric motor repair shop to visit, or pull the pump and take it to them for service, or attempt the (easy) repair yourself. Look on the cap for the MFD number and replace with exact duplicate. Plunger was a good idea, a Drain King can also be used, from the pump, to blow debris back to the skimmer. It could also be due to the air intake, or the filter pressure, Water around the base, check the motor bolts or seal plate clamp for tightness on the seal plate o-ring, and check drain plugs for tightness, but most likely its coming from around the outlet pipe, and dripping down to the base, or from the shaft seal, which leaks directly mid bottom, where motor connects. If the voltage between the orange and black is not 12VAC, you need to replace the rectifier or the board. I have 2 extension cords running to plug it in. Hi Tim, when the windings in a motor are shorted, the motor is pretty much dead, they arent rewound anymore, like in the old days. Also look for loose wires or corrosion (stored next to chlorine tabs during winter?) Power on LED is intermittently on or off. Do you believe I have a bad breaker? Why is this happening? The other rectifier is rated as 18-33 VDC. The pump has been running for 2 days. We hope these charts help solve your Hayward pool heater problems. Theres not much room back there for wires, and if they get too close to other things. The pump is working great but concerned about the hot cord. Trying not to damage impeller. You can get locally at an electric motor repair shop.
