Hayward pump stopped working last nite after big lightning thunder storm. Pump 11/2 HP model c48l2n134b1 is about 10 years old. Used during summer months only. Circuit breakers seem fine. Think it's time to replace?

SOURCE: we have a hayward pump and the motor keeps

The motor might be too powerful for the line it's on, (usually a pump should be on a somewhat dedicated line) no Ac's running on same breaker.
An extension cord longer then 6ft is also a suspect in not allowing the pump the draw enough power.
The pump may not be drawing enough water, overheating and tripping the breaker, or the motor might have rust on the inside causing the armature not to spin freely, and shut off. (usually motor will make a high pitch noise) while running)

SOURCE: HI! Just bought a Hayward

I have a few ideas. That the pump didn't come with a cord suggests that it should be hard wired(not a plug in) and you should check the product info plate to see if it requires 110 or 220v. and that the circut that it is being connected to can handle the start-up amps. Mine required a 20amp 220 circut of it's own. When wireing the hot wire(hopefully black) should be connected to the copper clored screw and the white one to the silver screw, the bare /green wire to the green screew. There is also the possibility that the new unit is defective !! can be checked with an ohm meter.

SOURCE: My pool pump is 2 months old. It is a Hayward 1hp

The capacitor is probably bad. It's under the cover on the side of the motor, Take a look and smell it. A motor shop has them, or Grainger

If there is air in the pump it cavitates and can make it run louder, otherwise it is the bearings in the motor.

6 years is a good time - you must have house for your pump :)

If you are close to a pool shop - take it in and get it tested - somtimes it will just need a service.

The pool timer goes on, the hayward 2 HP pool pump turns on and then causes the circut breaker to pop. After two, three resets, it starts to work. This problem started a week agao. The pump is 9 years old.

My Hayward Super II Pool Pump isn't priming. The

I think your impeller may be stuck OR your start capacitor has failed. Your pump is going off on over load because it cannot turn or cannot start.

Hayward 1hp super pump stops working

Your motor has a thermal protection switch in it the reacts to an overheating condition. Once the motor cools enough it will turn back on. You may be able to have the motor rebuilt for about half the cost of new if it is not damaged to severely. Take it to a local electric motor repair shop for service. If it is damaged beyond repair, you can shop around for a new one. If you would like a quote, contact us at www.arrowpools.net with your pump model number and we can quote it.

Just bought a used hayward filter,about 4 years old need diagram.

Line from skimmer connects to front of pump, top of pump connects to inlet of filter and outlet of filter goes to pool returns. Inlet and outlet of filter should be marked on filter and most Hayward filters that use backwash valves have valves that come pre plumbed to fit filters. Hope that helps, with pictures or models of filter and backwash valves that's about all I can tell you. God luck

Unable to get water clear last season could it be faulty pump

Although the chips inside the pump could decrease the efficiency i doubt that this is why you were unable to get the pool clear. What type of filter do you have, how old is the media inside it, and was the water just cloudy, or did you have algae problems?

Lightning Storm/Affinity Washer

During a lightning storm, a lightning strike could have induced a high voltage surge in your incoming power lines. Left unprotected from these power surges, the weakest link ( normally low voltage electronic controls) are the most susceptable. Just because you had power available at the wall receptacle after a storm doesn't mean that your washer control system wasn't exposed to one of these surges and got damaged. On the contrary, it is extremely likely that the washer took a 'hit' and was damaged.Other devices plugged into the same receptacle may have survived that hit because electricity travels the path of least resistance.. In this case.. that path may have been thru your washer.. My point being is that your washer could have sustained a power surge and was damaged so don't rule that out. Of course, that surge could have taken an internal fuse or other component out too..
