Hi Vandee, By default the selector plug is in the 230V position, but in rare cases like yours, it may come mis-aligned or mis-attached from the factory, and need to be shifted. If the new pump produces greater flow rate than the old pump, it produces high pressure, and poor filtration, and can damage the cartridge. Hi William, yes an air leak, is what I call it. Hi, might have been a small clog in the pipe. We even tried siphoning with a hose and it dont want to work either. Hayward recommends 1.5 PVC pipe, and more than one line, (i.e. For Pools up to 40,000 gallons.

Sandy, some hoses are clamped onto hose adapters, using a worm clamp or radiator clamp that tightens the hose to the hose adapter. They dont typically make noise for long either, because at 3400 RPM, if the impeller is hitting something, it will quickly wear it down. What does F5 mean? If there is a little noise, check the motor capacitor, or look at the motor switches in the back, look for anything that looks or smells funny. If a LED is flashing, wait 60 seconds after starting the filter pump. My salt was tested today at 3000 and everything else was perfect. Hi there if you are hearing no noise from the pump at all, shut off power and check the wiring connections at the pump, switch/timer, and breaker, to be sure wires are making good terminal contact. What does your water temp say? In particular, if the salt content of your pool water is too high, your metal screws, handrails, ladders, and covers will rust excessively.

Also check that no wires are touching any metal, and check for any bare/scraped wires. Since the flow seems correct, could it be blockage elsewhere? Mark. 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. Pumps can also leak water from the shaft seal, which can appear to be a housing/seal plate leak, but will leak only directly from the bottom. https://www.afternic.com/forsale/haywarddocs.info?utm_source=TDFS&utm_medium=sn_affiliate_click&utm_campaign=TDFS_GoDaddy_DLS&traffic_type=TDFS&traffic_id=GoDaddy_DLS the sound may possibly be a problem with the internal bypass, located in the front header.

If any of these readings are outside limits, replace motor. Occasionally, while running, it trips the breaker. Also make sure that the pump has no air leaks from loose pipes, loose pump lid, low water level in pool For you Scott, the next step is to shut off power to pump and remove the Blue, Black and Red wires (page 4 owners manual) from the drive and check each motor lead to ground. The pump will always start in high speed, and stay in high speed for a few minutes after starting, to ensure full prime. It worked fine for the first 2-3 years and then every time it needs to restart, it trips the breaker. Do we need a new pump or can the electrical cord be replaced?

Hi John, that is going to be either a cavitation noise, where the pump is starved for water, or if this noise is new, it would likely be the front and/or rear motor shaft bearings wearing out. So, that leads me to the hose having splits, and drawing air in from a few small slits or holes in the hose, or else the hose is crimping due to the strong suction of the pump. to turn off the timer.

The pump was working well since opening the pool in May, but the last few days it was quite weak. Test the capacitor for voltage, or just replace with exact MFD no. Try to spin the impeller by hand, to be sure that the motor shaft spins freely and is not bound-up. Hi Larry, valid question. "height": "219",
I have a Hayward sp 2603 vsp pump which is a year old has been working fine but 2 days ago I turned it on it ran about 1 minute, it cut off and on the display it says error code 11 and it will not run.

Most heaters can operate on 120V/240V, either one. A spike below 100V or above 140V, could blow a capacitor. Missing push-pull valve o-rings, DE powder getting inside of the grids however thats something notable and the fact that it only does it on Low Speed, also unique. So, I dont think you can use this motor, (sorry), unless you are able to add another 110V wire, and run both connected wires from a Double pole breaker. Hi Steven, probably the breaker tripped or the GFCI test button popped out due to some water touching some wire. IF the shaft spins freely, and your motor hums and trips the breaker, first check the wiring connections on the incoming wires, nice and tight, and no bare wire touching anything except the terminal connector. PUMP IS 15 YEARS OLD.

Are you using DE powder or enough DE powder? Originally it appears that the arrows are just off a little, but not the case. If stuck from rust build-up, move the capacitor (located at 9 oclock) and/or the thermal regulator (located at 12 oclock), out of the way, so that you can fit a 7/16 open end wrench on the slotted part of the shaft, behind the centrifugal switch that is screwed onto the end of the shaft.
