Closed and opened shut off valve to strainer housing basket, no water in strainer, how do you know if shut off knob actually opened or just broke the knob?

if the basket fills with water once you open the strainer lid then the valve is opening properly. If you open the valve and the strainer lid but you see no water flowing in then you can believe that the valve is not opening and needs to be fixed or replaced.

My Hayward pump was very noisy but now trips the breaker. I can turn the impeller from the rear pretty easily.

Hayward is synonymous with junk. Let me guess. It's been in service for about two or so years when the noise started. Eventually the motor will burn out. I've gone through two motors and a diffuser on my Hayward pump. It's already making noise again.

I have a elevated spa

Based on your description I'd suggest an electronic valve controller and panel to set the valve to the desired flow based on pump usage. If you do not have a control system with electronic valves you are likely in for some sticker shock but it would be the only way to automate what you are describing.

Hayward pump hums a few

It is very likely the start capacitor, or start windings. (If it's the windings it's pretty much shot.) If the motor has been running hot the windings could be going bad, if not it is most likely the capacitor. It is possible that the bearings, or something clogged in the impeller could be affecting it but not likely. (just something to keep in mind). The capacitor is fairly easy to test if you have an analog meter, and easy to replace as well. Without knowing the exact motor model. I can't give exact directions. Before I give you more details, you may want to just take the motor down to a pump repair shop they should test it for free. If you want to tackle it yourself, then continue on. You may have start, and or run capacitors. The capacitor(s) is either under the big metal hump protruding from the side of the motor, or in the tail end with the wiring. (or both) Either way it looks like a black or silver canister. At this point you should obviously have removed power to the motor. If you remove or check the capacitor remove the wires carefully and discharge the capacitor by shorting the two leads. To check the capacitor you need a special capacitance meter or an analog ohm meter. Some capacitor testers give a reading, some just an audible tone. To check with a meter it has to be an analog meter. Set the reading for ohms, and set for the lowest setting, maybe 1 ohm, or 10 ohms. When you connect across the terminals you should see the needle flick upwards then slowly drop. This is only a generic reading but gives you an indication the the capacitor is functioning. If the needle doesn't move, then it's probably open (bad) or if the needle moves all the way up and stays, then it's bad (shorted out) if you get a reading needle flicks and drops, you'll need to short the leads to test again. Replacing the start cap is cheap ($10-$20) compared to a new motor. You can usually find a replacement cap at Grainger, a pool pump repair shop, or sometimes at a local pool supply retailer. Hope this helps. If you need further assistance post a reply in the comments, and don't hesitate to leave a good thumb rating if you found this helpful. Thanks, and good Luck!

We have an older model Hayward Power Pro LX pump.

well of course you need to make sure the filters are not blocked up, Skimmer basket etc......I have seen on few occasions the impeller shaft has broken, so the pump runs like it doesn't have a trouble in the world.....but the impeller isn't turning, therefore no water flow.

Seal leaks on my power flo lx hayward pool pump

The seal can be replaced with either a 2131 or 200 seal from any pool store in your area. Most can offer tips on how to replace the part if you need guidance. The seal should be under $20 and could be as little as about $5.

System runs fine until trying to vacuum

Pull the strainer basket out of the pump and reach into the intake of the pump at the bottom of the basin. If any debris gets into this area, the pump will not have great suction. The baskets and pipes etc will appear in good condition, but if the intake is plugged up, this could be your problem.

How to get impeller off hayward power flo sp1525

Once you have the housing apart, 6 screws/nuts I believe, make sure you have the power completely shut off at the breaker. Remove the rear housing on the motor to expose the armature (shaft). Depending on the motor, you will need a 7/16" open end wrench to hold the shaft, be careful not to damage any components, you may have to remove the capacitor or switch to access the shaft. Once the shaft is being held, try to remove the impeller by turning counter-clockwise facing the impeller. If it will not move, you may have to use an impeller removal tool. c85eef7.gifMost pool supply places have them. Be sure to install a new shaft seal, its best to replace the seal anytime you mess with the impeller. Having a good shaft seal will save your motor bearings.

This video helps, although its not the same pump..

I hope this helps....
