Do you have a video on how to change the seals for this newer pump, I can't get the impeller off to replace the seals. thanks
Is it a Hayward super pump?
This helped me, I have a Maax elite 2002 and it's pretty similar to this model. Thanks! Also, bonus tip, take a picture of all the things you take off so you know where and how to put it back.
Thank you. I just followed all the steps. The filter is clean and pump is working again. It’s very helpful!
Glad it helped
I have jacuzzi j355 and change the overheat sensor but still saying the same thing I have call main dealer and there re-set I need to do could you help me please
All the resets for Jacuzzi are in the video description.
Watchdog in a J385 from 2012 ?? Where do I have to put the jumper
Because Jacuzzi changes their spa packs so many times, Im not sure what pack you have. I do have other videos about the resets for different years and makes. There's only 3 resets. Look in the video description. It might be in there.
If the hot tub heating element is found to be the reason for the trip, can I just unplug it and still run the hot tub? It’s summer here and a luke warm tub is pretty nice.
Yep. That's one of my video ideas
Is it normal to have some sand in the bottom of a pool after sand change? I had none last year, and changed the sand at the beginning of the season this year (about 2 weeks ago), and there's a little building up in spots at the bottom. I have no sightglass, backwash to a storm drain, and my laterals are fixed, not hinged- so I couldn't get the assembly out for a thorough inspection. Everything seemed ok, as far as I could tell. Thanks
Last 12 years we’ve been putting a tarp underneath the trampoline like cover and water is chrystal clear every year!
Can you use a shop vac to suck the water out of the pipes rather than opening it up and unscrewing?
Whatever way works to get the water out.
I just bought a new Hayward Pro Series sand filter, 21". During setup I put a bucket of water in the sand filter (as the instructions say) and the drain plug leaks. I played with it a bunch and couldn't get it to stop leaking. It's definitely on straight and appropriately tight. It doesn't seem to matter how tight I make it, the same amount of water is leaking out. The only thing I can think of is maybe when the sand filter top is off, and there's no sand in it, maybe it leaks on purposes? The threads aren't stripped, and there's no sand or particles in the threads. I'm pretty stumped.
You can follow the instructions when it comes to putting water in the filter before the sand. There's a reason I do it this way and have learned over 30 years. When the stand pipe is sitting in the filter and you put water in it, the stand pipe will start to float. This will move it out of center. You will need someone holding the stand pipe down and center when putting the first 2 bags in. Water in or out makes no difference. When winterizing a sand filter for the winter, the water is drained out the bottom. So. No water. Or hardly any. As for the drain plug leaking. Try putting teflon tape on the threads of the filter. Then put the plug on.
You don't show how to keep water levels up. And I have air bubbles in my the pump even after I Prime it.
I have a leak similar to the one you show on your video and my pool guy is saying he may have to replace the housing. Is that possible ?
The ONLY way that the wetend of a pool pump needs to be replaced is, if the threads stripped. This only happens when using hard pipe and plumbing it the same as in the video.
Would this also cause my heater to intermittently kick on/off? I have this FL1 error but also my tub will not get up to temp
Yep. Any FL code will at some point shut the heat off. If it's on/off sort of thing happening, this is telling me it's going to be the filters or flow switch/pressure switch (whatever one you might have.)
If you unplug the switch, does FL2 come on?
Wow, this video is by far the best. I have a Strong Spa with a Balboa pump (PUUM2302582FR) that is leaking. Do you have the part numbers (or links) for the O-rings/gaskets/wetend?
Thanks for watching. As for the parts. You are already half way there by knowing what item number to use to find parts.
Hello...what kind of salt should I use if the level is low???? Great video and thank you so much for your help 🙏🏽
Any pool salt can be used.
Will the water inside the pipes evaporate?
No
Where can i buy the connector ?
Connector ?
Yea the piece that connects the two in takes to one tube it’s the t piece that you said came with the filter i have an older Hayward that i just got and the tube didn’t fit the old piece ofc so i was looking to find that piece somewhere
That did it! Thank you
Would the PVC connections be stronger if you applied the purple primer before the glue?
Good
My heater is only registering 30 volts. The heater light is on but no heat.
sounds like a board issue.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas so does that mean the entire board must be replaced?
I did everything you did basically I’m not getting 240 between the two heating elements so when I undo the plug from the circuit board, I’m not getting 240 from there. I’m only getting 120 from one side from the other side so basically the heat is only getting 120. Does that mean the boards bad or is there something that could be changed?

Why the heck are t the lines to the pump and pool shown? That would have helped a lot.
This is only one video showing how to install a sand filter. If this is a replacement for you, the plumbing is already there for you. The new filters have where the pipes go written on the filter valve.
We opened our pool 12 days ago and it still looks like a pond ☹️
Get all debris out, clean filters and test the water. Filtration is key.
I got 120v from testing the black/neutral and 120v from red/neutral, but 0 from black/red. What now?
Breaker is put in wrong
@@VIPPoolsandSpas but I am still getting 240v across the two lines from the power coming in and the heater element. Mine is interesting case. It’s a Balboa GS100 from Europe and I brought it to the US from Spain. I think I need a new motor also since it’s EU Spec.
What size bolts hold the seal plate to the pump body?
Good question. I'm not sure. Never had to replace them. Ever.
Hi, I just followed your video and I’m not getting 120v between the black and white wires. Any idea what the solution to that would be? My hot tub is not turning on, it’s acting completely dead. Red and white read 120v just fine, seems like the black wire is the issue?
If you are testing where the line comes into the spa pack, I would test at the GFCI breaker.
Great video! I have a Beachcomber hot tub and had it closed for two years. Opened it this year and worked for 24 hours. Then heard a pop sound and fuse went. Replaced the spa pack 20a fuse connected to the hush pump motor and restarted the breaker. Then I heard some sounds and then the hush pump started smoking up and saw a flame so quickly turned it off. Guessing the motor is completely dead at that point?
Sounds like the pump was seized after 2 years of not running. And yes, that pump is now toast.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas yup. Appreciate all your videos. Learning a lot
@@philipchristian9935 thanks. Just give the videos a LIKE so I can continue.
Do the heater elements have fuses on the board?
Most do not. The old stuff did.
I have been pulling my hair out with a low flo error. Finally worked out it was this part broken and blocking the pipe. Now to get that broken valve out.
Just installed a brand new motor and voltage is 230 like previous and now it will turn on but turns back off minutes after and smells hot.
If the old motor was 230 volts and the new one is 230 volts, then there's a problem with the new motor. Make sure you wired the NEW motor right. Some pumps come 120volts, so make sure its 230volts.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas correction old motor was 120v and new one is set up for 230v but when plugged in 120 hook up it kicked breaker.
@@mirandatweedie5415 if old motor was 120v and same wiring, the new pump must be 120v.
So when you backwash it (after it’s all changed) that’s what fills the filter back up with water? I don’t have to fill it up with water?
What is that attachment called that goes on the end of hose to
There's a link in the video description.
You're missing the bonding wire.
But did you learn anything on what the video was about?
@@VIPPoolsandSpas I have been on pools since 1977 but for the last 10 years I only do inspections. I send the link to this video to lots of people, I bet you've fixed 25 pumps. KK
Thanks
This might be a dumb question, but please bare with me as I am 1000% BRAND NEW to maintaining a pool and hot tub. I have ZERO knowledge whatsoever other than I just know pools and hot tubs need chemicals. However, is it okay to just use bromine only? I just set up our hot tub and have to maintain it this year because my Dad just can't do it anymore. I just set it up yesterday and today. I filled it yesterday and turned it on to get warm. It was around 65° when it was completely filled it last night around 8:30-9:00 pm. Today when I was able to finish cleaning the cover and inflatable thingy for the cover, the temperature was at 97°. I did drop 1 bromine tab into a float last night and today I just dropped another 1.5 tablets directly into the tub,(I was told to!! I didn't think it sounded right, either. Lol) Ran the bubbles for a few mins to get them spread out a little bit and that's all the chemicals that I have. I know that bromine is a sanitizer, but is that all I really need?!? Or are the other chemicals 1000% necessary?
Yes. You can use bromine. Always keep the tabs in the floater. Don't just throw them into the tub. You use a bromine shock or a non chlorine shock after each use of the tub. You will need to also adjust the ph, alkanlity, and hardness.
@VIPPoolsandSpas Ahhh, okay. Well it's a little bit to late to put them in something, but I will remember not to do that next time. And okay, I believe I do have bromine shock in the shed. I'll have to look tomorrow and I'll let you know if you wouldn't mind explaining to use it..
I have a sand filter so when I do this should I close the valve to the main drain? I don't get this kind of suction from the skimmer for sure..
Great question. You can keep the main drain open but you'll have to backwash more and maybe clean out the pump basket.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas Appreciate it..We bought our 1st house and have our 1st in-ground pool so I'm learning the ropes. I noticed our return jets don't have the eyeball to direct the flow so I'm getting those which I know will help with circulation and flow
@@TheJarheadEntrepreneur get yourself a Taylor Test kit. Don't just use test strips.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas I have one ordered..I joined a Gunite pool group on Facebook and they have been a huge help. That is the test kit everyone suggests to get
I always get sand in my pool from the sand filter even when it was new and put together correctly. So I still don’t understand.
If your getting sand in the pool its going to be from it not put together properly or the wrong size sand was put in.
Thank you! It must be the sand size!
Very helpful thanks
I just changed my heat sensor on my Sundance. I"m now getting and SN 3 code and a reading of 106 with cold water. I still don't get what the problem is.
change the other sensor. The high Limit. If you set the temp to 90F and it goes to 90F, does the heater keep heating or does it shut off at 90F?
I have this same issue but I have a Hayward DE filter. I have broken down the filter close to 10 times, cleaning and inspecting everything, in the last two weeks with the same result. I've cleaned the flex tubes with degreaser and then with muriatic acid. It will run great for about 30 minutes then the pressure jumps to 20 and the return slows way down. When the pressure gets to 20, water starts pushing out at the clamp that holds the filter together. Once I bump it, it's fine again for another 30 minutes. I'm to the point where I think I might just have to buy a new filter because I don't know what else to do. Btw, while waiting for the degreaser and muriatic acid soak, I ran the pump without the filter to keep the water circulating and the flow was fine. So, I don't think there's anything wrong with my pump.
Well. You did what we would do. And that is, bypassing the filter to see if there's any change in pressure. Could it be a bad pressure switch? Maybe.
@@VIPPoolsandSpas I don’t have a heater on my above ground pool. Isn’t a pressure switch only on heaters?
@@stacyharbin8172 Sorry. Pressure Gauge.
Great information. Thanks!
Good information and to the point. Thanks!
Great video, I have a “very fast leak”, where as soon as I fill the base, maybe a few inches high, the water starts to leak out and the tub empties in a few minutes. I do also have a creature that lives in there and I am working on getting rid of him. Please advise how to locate the leak, it is definitely not close to the panels, therefore making it difficult to reach too.
First. Get whatever lives under your tub out. Second. Fill tub and start digging. Should be easy to find if its leaking out fast. Maybe a hose has been ate thru?
How do all the leaves get in the pool during the winter with a safety cover installed?
Great question. If you live in an area that is very windy, the wind does lift it a little and leaves can be blown under it.
Hi, can you help me how to get the antifreeze out of the system to start the pool. Thank you.
Fill the pool and start. There's not enough antifreeze to do anything. You'll be fine.
What do you do to stop getting water back there
Find out how it's getting there. Ground water?, return leak?, skimmer leak? Liner leak?
Thanks for the video. My pool seems to not be clear after 3 shocks already. I removed as much debris as I could. (Hard to see for how murky the water is). I also replaced the sand in the filter last summer, as I was having issues with keeping the water clear. I suspect possibly a faulty multiport valve. Any advice on how to pinpoint the issue?
If pool is green at all, test the PH a d drop to 7ppm.and shock. If it's cloudy, test the alkalinity and raise that up to 120 to 150. Retest PH 24hours later. Put a clarifier in also. Balancing of chemicals and filtration is key.
