So you feel going variable speed is better than attempting to repair my NorthStar? If I replace pump motor and seals I will be out $475. I'm contemplating on replacing the seals and motor in the NorthStar. I see a small leak and believe a seal let water into the bearings. The 950 will set me...

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking at the Hayward Tristar 900 and 950. I'm not sure if the 900 will serve my 40,000 gallon pool or I should go with the 950. Any tips on knowing which to go with?

I have been running a NorthStar 1.5 HP pump which supposed outputs same amount of power as 2 HP for the past 16 years and the bearings are going bad. I have a 20x48 inground pool which holds about 40,000 gallons of water. The pool is also plumbed with 2 inch pvc resulting in a flow rate of 80...

I agreew with you. It's been over weeks since I topped my pool off with water and it has not dropped in 4 weeks. All the guys on the forum were accurate with telling me not to worry. I assume it was coming thru the strapping and the cover pump pumped some water out of pool. I'm still...

Today has been one week since refilling the pool with 10 inches of water do the water loss. I looked and appears to have not have moved. I'm going to continue to monitor and pray the heavy snow forced the cover down there is water going thru the Ultra-loc seams and the cover pump pumpted the...

Guys- I truly appreciate all your support. Below is feedback to some of your comments questions. bk - I don't lose much water when it's opened. I keep a solar cover on it at night and probably only added water 1 - 2 times per month. Nothing substantial at all. poolguy - I don't have a tile...

Scott I agree it's the hose that freezes not the rule pump and I also have it going down hill from the pool. I don't there is any damage to the cover at this point in time but if I had let it go and more water continued to leak out I believe it may have become damaged if I hadn't added water...

What if the gasket was bad on main drain? Would I hear anything or see any bubbles?

I do have an Ultra-loc but I'm assuming the pump has been froze solid for last few weeks?

So based on when I closed to date, I've been averaging an approximate loss of 2.25. inches per month. Miller lite is tasting good right now. What a pisser. Havn't had it two seasons and done everything by the book and paid pool company to close it every season. I can't believe this.

Bk, I'm worried now. I got off today and spent an hour and half shoveling all the snow and ice off the cover. I was able to remove the corner and see the true water level. It had dropped about 10-11 inches. It is nearly 18 inches from top of pool deck. The cover looked like Crud after I was...

No we did not have as much snow. We did just get hit with a lot as stated earlier. The problem I have is it gets so cold and the hose on my cover pump freezes and it can not pump the water off and then it freezes. I just pray to god it is water displacement.

I used the same cover last year. It's a solid Loop-Loc with no drain panels.

Thanks Bk...

There is also a crushed jug in it. I'm going to toy with it tonight but I'm afraid to stick hand in and potentially break Gizmo. That's all I need.

The gizzmo was in the way but I'm going to try the flash light method when I get off tonight. I just noticed it last night and had to take my daughter to Gymnastics. It was dark when I got home. I'll check it out tonight. Thanks

Bk I appreciate your kind words. It's hard not to worry about a 50k investement that I've only had for 1.5 seasons but I will try.

Guys- Based on my googling, I'm praying my lost water is a result of water displacement from the 8 - 12 inches of snow and ice we had. I think when the ice on the cover thaws out and the pool water is not froze, I should add some water and check where it's out. Then check it in 3 days to see...

Guys- I appreciate the quick feedback because I've been sick all night. It is a solid cover with no drain panels with a cover pump. I currently have so much ice on it I'm afraid to undo a couple of straps to look in it to see how long it actually is. Looking in the skimmers it's right at the...

Hi Guys- I live in Ohio and had my pool closed in 10/09 by a Pool company. I have a solid cover on the pool and after all this snow I noticed my cover appeared to be much lower than normal and a bit stressed. When the pool was closed, the water line was at half the skimmer level like when...

Hotrod30 I called Interfab and provided them the measurements for my pool and they stated it was 13 inches because it's a vinyl lined pool and the walls have a 4 ft. slope in deep end. They indicated there manual is for Gunite pools only and you must call for Vinyl dimensions. Thanks Terry

Hello- I just had a 20x48 pool installed and I'm waiting for the rain to stop so we can pour the concrete deck. I'm concerned about the proper distance to mount the diving board jig because there is a discrepancy between my pool builder and Interfab. The pool builder states 27 inches from...
