Thanks, Jim, if the motor is reversible it will have a Hi Voltage / Lo Voltage diagram printed on the label, and a means to switch it to 115V. You could provide a kind of tabletop shade to the motor, but dont enclose it and restrict air flow. We have cleaned it 3-5 times a day and changed the d.e as well. Hi the strainer housing must need to be tightened up. Or to a light switch and then to a breaker, that would be more of a standard installation. 25 LibriVox About. Any suggestions? If theres no power at the switch/timer, go back further to the breaker. If you have an intermatic clock (big yellow dial), there are a series of gears behind the dial, that all need to be engaged. Use any type of multi-meter, digital or analog. 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. Regardless, after wiring it up (we did the hot on the bottom and neutral on the top), I put water in the basket and turned on the pump. Secondly, it could be an air leak after the pump, around the filter, causing air to leak in when the pump shuts off (would be a water leak when the pump is on), which causes the water to drain out of the pump and back to the pool.

Any thoughts? Perflex filters are particularly known (to me anyway) for building up oily deposits on the fingers or flex tubes, and clogging up quickly. It could also be the wiring from breaker to timer, or timer to pump, or just breaker to pump, if there is no timer or other switch (and if there is no other switch, the breaker is likely just worn out from overuse). Home; Events. After that, putting it to filter (following the backwash) ramps the flow to full strength until the gradual decline cycle starts again. In some instances, it could just be a bad breaker. Is it possible that the filter is the problem? If you remove the motor from the pump, and then turn on the power very briefly if the noise continues, its the bearings, if it runs quiet (high speed), then look to vibration or cavitation. If you see any damage, replace your flow switch. Remove the back of the motor and look for anything loose wires, switches, tabs. Hi Tony, when all is good in the world, the pump basket will fill up full, and when a system is really air tight, you see no bubbles at all (through a clear pump lid), just solid water, filling the entire pump basket housing.

Too bad Hayward doesnt make this more clear on their installation instructions and labeling. If you want, you can remove the capacitor and wrap it in a heavy cloth, or rubber sheet just in case.

Hello Dave, So we cannot manually rotate the shaft a full revolution. Set the test meter to Ohms, of 1K or higher. Hi Tony, there could be a short in the motor, or loose wires connecting to the capacitor, or if the capacitor you are replacing with is not the correct capacitor, or if the centrifugal or stationary switches are not releasing the capacitor, due to loose or misaligned switches, or loose wires, or wires shorting out by touching other wires or the motor casing, or crimped wires give a good look around the back of the motor, and try another capacitor, maybe call Hayward and ask for the correct capacitor MFD number for your horsepower of Northstar.
