Great two part video from years ago. You said you need a third part. Did you ever make it? I cannot find it. Hurricane Helene flooded my pump and now its noisy. Needs new bearings.

Never understood why these lower btu models don’t have 6 coils like the higher btu model. Heat transfer is all about surface area and 6 would make it way more efficient

Sadly, my Hayward PowerFlo Matrix motor (made by Century) is split phase and has no capacitor. Yet it trips the GFI every time I turn it on. Now what ???

Kind of confused about the bulb. At 2:30 it's a bad bulb then at 2:44 it's a good bulb. I'm trying to figure out my pool light issue. I have power to the light as per my pen. I tried a different bulb & won't light up but the bulbs will light up from a lamp. Can I use my multimeter to test the light socket without the bulb is grounded? Thanks.

perfectly explained. was looking for how to connect back and no other vids or articles talked about polarity. thanks

Wonderful, straight-forward video! Thank you!

Could a guy give the shaft a strong spin manually, upon switching it on, to get it started?

I agree, a really good video. Good clear explanations of each step. Especially important is that discharging the capacitor before handling was clearly explained and demonstrated. Well done !

Great video brother💪🏼

I’m not mechanically savvy, helpful video but would’ve like closer video to actually see what you’re turning “motor shaft”, maybe see how you setup the testing on your tester first the capacitor, etc. thanks for the video!

Perfect. Thank You.

Don't like the idea of grease on bearing or shaft ! Bearing needs to fit tight so as not to spin on shaft or end bell ! Bearing needs to do its own thing.

why do you need to take the rear end bell off ?

Well done

How could you (using multimeter) test a Pentair Intellibrite board? Thx!

Thank you for the info

Hi great video, what is the the make and size of your gearing puller?

THIS VIDEO SAVED ME $350.00 THANK YOU SO MUCH. THE REAL PROBLEM IS THE NEW MOTOR COMES WITH A NEW CAPACITOR, BUT YOU MIGHT THINK YOU THE NEW MOTOR IS MAKING IT WORK, WHEN IN REALITY IT WAS ONLY THE NEW CAPACITOR THAT'S MAKING IT WORK. CHECK THE CAPACITOR ONLY AT FIRST!!!

I just pulled my motor off but here in AZ U can’t have your pool pump down for more then a day or 2 in mid summer so I pony up and bought a new motor now that she up in running I pulled my old motor apart and ordered bearings so I’ll have a backup this job seems pretty easy so thank U sir for the info👍🤠

What size gear puller is needed?

Thanks so much for this video. Helped me troubleshoot and fix my pump.

Thanks for the info! I feel like smoking a dobie with this fellow.

Great video. I have the same pump but no power. I hear the electricity on the line, but not the pump. Is it repairable?

Thanks Buddy, you're a life saver

Of all the pool pump cap replacement vids on here, this is the best walk through on how to do this. No extraneous nonsense- just to the point, with all the necessary precautions mentioned to be mindful of. Thank you!

I have this problem too, pump started after a few tries and when measured the capacitor i got a value of 2.07uF, so i bought an exact copy of it and before installed it i measured that one too. 14uF. Good i thought, i found the problem. But after 4 days the new capacitor just blowed up. Could it be a bad copy or could it be something else going on with the pump?

the new motor I purchased from a pool company (they ordered it from a parts distributor) claims OEM replacement. New motor does not have a threaded shaft. Now what...... The old motor and shaft has serious corrosion.Through bolts are severely corroded. Does the threaded end of the shaft unscrew from the shaft?

Thanks for the video. I have a capacitor that I believe needs replacing. I'm having a hard time finding one with the same specs. 250-300 uf 110VAC +65 C. Any idea where I can get my paws on one or are there any other that are compatible? Thanks again.

Are those end bells available as spares?

I had a brand new pump that sat around for three years before I installed it. It hummed and wouldn't run on first start. Turns out all I had to do was spin the motor shaft to loosen it up. It just got stuck sitting unused. The bearings and everything else were fine, it's still running now, two plus years later. However this would not be the main reason for a motor to hum and not run. But it is a reason that's easy to check!

Thank you great explanation and info really helpful.

Excellent Video. Saved me $$$. Thanks!

beyond great instructional video, strait to it real life advice and commentary on rebuild. Thank you! question are you using 120v to bench test the motor could not quit tell. anything on that is appreciated.

Great video. I do need to replace the washer you speak of in here, but am struggling to locate one. Any help on where I might be able to locate one would be awesome!!

thank you! You helped me fixing my pool filter pump! Your video is extremely helpful and now i'm on to pump # 2 (waterfall pump). Thank you!!!

Hi sr, thank you for the good video. Have a nice day.

Thank you for the good video Sr. Have a great day.

This video may be 3 years old but it's just as valid as the day it was released. I followed this process today and fixed my pool pump with no issues. The pump is about 12 years old but was still running very quietly until yesterday when it wouldn't start and was just humming. Removing the capacitor was a simple task, I took it to the pool shop, they confirmed it was dead and sold me a replacement for AUD $44.00. Five minutes to replace it and job done. Thanks for the clear and simple advice.

I snapped the head off the screw that holds the wing behind the bearing. 4.25 of this video. Does anyone know what size and thread count I should drill and tap it out to so I can replace it?

#1 Seal plate was cracked inside the shaft seal recession. #2 Never install shaft seals by directly touching the ceramic sides.....the oils in your hands degrade them and cause premature failure which leads to bearing failure. #3 Clean the piss out of all the parts, especially the internal parts and spray with electronic cleaner just before assembly to rid any dust/debris inside the winding area.

Good video, was getting ready to order from Amazon 2 seals, they cost $21.50, the 203 seal is less than $5 on Amazon. Same seal, looks like but one is marketed to pool pumps. Like the Plasto Joint seal, thanks will look for it as well. Any suggestions on the o ring kits?

You are a legend. I'm going to give this a try tomorrow. Had a pool guy come out today and tell me I need a new pump but it makes the exact same humming noise as this. My only question is I have 3 connectors that connect to the capacitor. If I get a new capacitor does it matter where those pins gets connected? Or can they connect anywhere? Only asking cos the one that is currently in it is very hard to source so need to get a different brand

Could not be more clearly explained! This is exactly what is wrong with my pool pump motor, and looks very easy to fix, thanks to your video. Thank you!

I have a question: Mine start liking at the other end of the motor the black piece with two tubes out of it almost at the end of the video. The tech say I need a new heater... do you think it can be fix?

Who the heck would construct a test system with a 90 degree fitting directly attached to a 3-way valve?!? And the pressure gauge is also too close to a 90 degree fitting for accurate readings. While I understand this does not invalidate the comparison between VS and SS pumps it’s disappointing a self proclaimed expert would make such installation errors

Thank you so much!! This part goes bad every couple of years here in Florida. The pool guy charged me $256.00, last time. I follow your instructions and saved more since I’m sure his prices have gone up.

u r all right bro , thanks for the info

10 year old video shot on a potato and its still the BEST PUMP video on YT! THX!

Great tutorial.

Best video on KZbin straight to the point and well explained. Thanks
