Here's a short little video describing how you fixed my Intex 1,000 gallon pool pump and got it running again! Please leave a thumbs up and subscribe!

[@kathrynmacduff4054]

What a blessing you are! I have not tried to fix ours but I am sure going to try now - thank you sweetheart for posting. (Love your kids - any grandma would be bursting with pride)

[@PurrfectPastaPets1817]

My mom did this today!!! The pump was working and then the next day nothing . She cleaned each with alcohol and Q tips!! Bam!!!! It works now!! Thank you! Saved us money not buying a new pump

[@DBTdad]

Thank you for saving me money! Precisely the same issue with our intex sand pump. Damn Intex for the triangle screws. Had to spend 15 bucks at wally world to buy one. After repairs i put the plug under a plastic bucket on concrete to keep it dry. You rock, Lady!

[@deondaniels4470]

omg!! this video was a life saver. we left the plug out in the weather all winter but after watching this video, I took it all the way apart and dried it out and within a hour or so it was back working. if it doesn't work the first time you might have to keep repeat a few times.

[@leahkillien8907]

This saved our summer! Our pump works again 🙌🏻 Thank you!!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Great news! Glad I could help!

[@torifa68]

Thank you! I’m so glad we didn’t have to try to buy a new pump!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Happy to help!

[@gerardbreau1050]

Just saved me a huge headache! My pump stopped working and I saw this video and sure enough there was water inside the plug. I used paper towels and a blow dryer, put it back together and it worked! Thanks!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

great I am so happy I could help! I also think @Intex could make a better design

[@smallhotels]

You and the lady who identified the car and not the elevator as the fix for the Little People Garage play set are my heroes! Thanks for sharing in the true sense and going out of your way to make this video. Mine worked with just a little cleaning but I wouldn’t have attempted to fix it before coffee if your video hadn’t explained the procedure so precisely. Thank you!!

[@maineprophetic9272]

Worked like a charm eventhough I have a different setup (summer waves motor and filter. Left mines out in the Maine winter! Took plug apart and cleaned all rust corrosion etc. There was also a diode broken off when I opened it. Fixed that and screwed everything back together. Took about 15 tries to get thstvreset button to stay engaged but it worked!!! THEN the wife reminds me of a pump filter setup she bought from a surplus store here in Maine (Mardens) ... I was like ):(. Smh. After all my MAN WORK!!! It looks more like yours. It might can be adapted but tks 4 the vid!!! Excellent work and clarity with no long drawn out stories about your dog!! U got to the point. August is saved!!!

[@jennifershaw9632]

THANK YOU, SO SO SO MUCH!!!! You just saved me from buying a ridiculously expensive new pump this year!!!

[@werbenjagermanjensen0]

IT WAS THE PLUG!!! 😂 You saved me from throwing mines out and getting a new pump. I had taken apart the pump motor and it looked good, i put it back together and was going to give up until i ran into your video. The adapter had water in it. I cleaned the rusty contacts, dried it and it worked again. Thank you! 🙌

[@rebeccahmcconnaughay921]

Your video was a god send!!! Thank you so much. You saved us from having to buy a new motor!

[@jessfento772]

I love her pure excitement when she sees she fixes it

[@jenniferjones3158]

Thank you for this video! Pump worked a month. Took the plug apart and water poured out!! I tried this trick, still not working but going to try one more time! Thank you!

[@MyLifeDIY1]

Thank you! I had not even thought about the power adapter. I actually have the sand filter pump, but it has a similar plug. I ordered one off Amazon and fixed it in a few minutes.

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Glad I could help!

[@TzUuup]

Finally got my pool cleaned. Dis assembled the motor housing and everything worked fine. Vacuumed, skimmed, scrubbed, poor in the shock and now the pump doesn't want to turn on. I swear if ain't one thing it's another. Trying this out for sure now

[@carolynbishop7139]

Thank you for this! My grandchildren's pool pump quit working. I'm going to look at the plug.

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

You are welcome!

[@BSalas]

I just banged the plug three times on the deck and kept pressing the button- and it worked! (Son had begun disassembling the plug)

[@teriandjacobsworld]

Thanks for sharing because my pump won't work 😞 It's not the pump that came with the pool, it's a stronger one. I'm going to try this, wish me luck because my husband has no idea 💪🏻

[@lorrainetraylor4696]

Fixed mine too! You’re a hard core badass! Thank you!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Your very welcome

[@jasonfrancis7663]

Thank you, Thank you. Thought I needed a new pump. Worked for me too. Only took maybe 10 minutes. I took leaf blower and dryed the plug out.

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Great job!

[@pierremede1527]

That is the problem with these pump. Once the plug get wet it stops working. I had a similar issue so I unscrewed it, blow dry the plug and it worked. This happened twice and that when I realize that the plug can’t get wet. I left mine out and it rained. That’s how mine got wet.

[@dunallemartinez8614]

YOU ARE AWESOME!! AND YOUR SIDEKICK 😀👏IT'S WORKING

[@Glulist]

Thank you I’m trying this tomorrow

[@cathybritt6701]

Thank you! My Intex sand filter pump worked yesterday (the first time we used it) today it didn’t. Called the Intex 800 # . They called me back over 4 hours later - A young girl who said it would take 7-10 days to send me a new pump once I sent them a copy of my receipt. I asked her what the heck I was supposed to do with 14000 gallons of water during that time.

[@cathybritt6701]

Replaced the plug and works perfectly!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

@@cathybritt6701 Great Im so glad you didn't need to wait for a new pump. 14,000 gallons is a lot of water.

[@summerc1036]

Where did you find a replacement plug?

[@angeliquepye7638]

Thank you for this. I never assumed that it would’ve gotten wet inside the plugs so I will just buy myself a new one this year and start plugging it in and inside of my house where the water can’t get it.

[@marymalave8296]

Thank you soooo much for this because it solved my issue as well. ❤

[@reginapatterson873]

Thanks for the video I'm about to go try this and see if it works

[@cwg2432]

Thanks a lot, this made it work again. Thank you !!!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Glad it helped you!!!

[@janetbagnato3078]

Mother's Day appropriate & helpful

[@serloquebusca2306]

Such useful AND wholesome video :)

[@Kaiser187]

You know what, you are so right! I noticed every time mine got wet it stopped working. These pools are such a pain in the ass, from the pump to the liner leaking water. I've had my fill with these issues and they will drive you nuts! Tomorrow I'm going to come up with an idea to put that plug inside a container to keep it 100% dry at all times. Just got done patching the bottom of the liner after I lost a good 6-8 inches of water over night due to a leak.

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Hey I know how it can be with leaks. Usually every year I was able to ( until I had a baby) supervised the dissassebly aka draining and puting away of the pool. The one year I didn't it got holes on the bottom liner which I didn't find until dissassebly the following summer. Now I know I have all the holes patched because I'm not lossing any water. But the ring can be a pain to find the holes for repair, but I found those too.

[@leonamartinez7287]

It actually worked on our Intex sand filter pump! Huge THANK YOU!!

[@sheylajavi]

Wowww l love the video !!!! Good job love the little helpers too...thanks getting redy to open up my switch...

[@cherylcarter-miller535]

You go Mama!!!! I’m going to try that now..... I’ll let you know .... You explained it really well!

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

go for it

[@NicholasLaDieu]

Thanks, pointed me in the right direction. I ended up replacing the entire power cable.. but I had everything on hand. If you end up replacing the entire cable just be sure you plugin to a GFCI outlet

[@JoshD-fb3hk]

[@Patches700]

When you plugged it in when it wasnt working. Did you get a red and green light at all ?

[@MaryMeowy]

[@ladivee8371]

[@SeemzLegit454]

Love a women with her own tools. :)

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

[@mikeembry6427]

Woman*

[@jeff262630]

I have a pure spa inflatable hot tub. I’ve tried plugging it in. And the gfi keeps tripping. No power to the panel at all. Anyone ever had this issue? Is there another fuse. Or is the gfi just bad?

[@HOLDonBRBlol]

@Paul Benevente did yours work?

[@maximus3730]

Any update? Same issue

[@macknumber9]

Mine has a timer on it...blue button on the bottom. At first I wasn't getting anything at all...now I get the numbers to turn on red 00 but I cant change the timer to 01 02 03 etc. And the pump doesn't turn on still

[@syko6046]

I have a very similar looking pump but don’t have that type of plug what can I do?

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Im not sure, if your motor is seized up inside the pump theres really nothing you can do about it. My original pump that came with this pool lasted us for maybe 6 summers then the motor inside the pump seized up and wouldn't work anyore. Thats why i had to buy this new one in 2019. And it still works in 2021

[@harleyhamblin9920]

Weird question? My pump is different but you pulling the filter. So I did Mine wouldn’t work but I did what you did and it works. Is there a relay inside the pump or something?

[@chrisfredrickson4658]

No way!!!!! I’ll be back!

[@annehorrigan570]

Your the best mom...can you come over & help me fix my pump that failed on Monday? 💚😁✌ ok, I need that triangle tip screwdriver...hardware store? Anybody?

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

i bought my universal screw driver kit on ebay. look for iphone universal kit.

[@binkybunnysway943]

Oh no these Intex pool pumps :/ I got the heater to go with this and that didn't work either :(

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

Oh no ...is your heater still under warranty? If not try cleaned ng out the switch?

[@lancem5965]

Thank you just save me 50 bucks

[@davide.s.3139]

Great approach but wasn't my issue.

[@macknumber9]

What was your issue?

[@vanryker2011]

My plug adapter shows up lit red when plugged then what you have to assume the piece of crap is getting power HELP worked the other day new filter no air in hoses going to die in this heat anybody???🙏

[@oskytel3780]

Yea let’s use four Phillips head screws... then two triangle heads... you can’t make this stuff up, who comes up with these ideas?

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

lol maybe there in communication with Apple. They do the same things on thew iphones, use tons of different types of screws. Just kidding

[@Eric-nf9zt]

I agree with you and on top of that I have never seen a triangle bit

[@jessedukelacrosse6470]

Engineers who do not want people to touch work 🤦 I don't understand

[@0.o.0.o1]

Thankyou mrs genius! Our pump is working again ! Ty for posting you’re a life saver 🛟

[@Mr_juan_]

Mine isn’t sucking?!

[@glendagray4371]

Where is the reset button

[@lisabrown8874]

Why don't you use a metal detector to find the screw the missing screw in the plug again why don't you use a metal detector

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

lol you mean a magnet?? I did

[@macknumber9]

You act like owning a metal detector is just as common as owning a screwdriver.

[@reedwallace5732]

make a short

[@YoMama9021]

Don’t do what she did kinking up your cords like that

[@bha6691]

[@lisabrown8874]

Why don't you why are why are you texting your child to plug it up it's not fair that my parents I do that but they don't love me do that it's not fair that you get to do that

[@JohannaParrishParrish_Place]

what the hell!!! I told my son to plug in a 12 volt pool pump. it's no different then plugging in a lamp! omg he will electrocute himself even though he's 10 feet from the pool???

[@slammerjaxlive]
