Poolside Chat Episode 21: Suction, Pressure, and Robotic Cleaners

Mar 2nd, 2016 2:42 PM

“Do I need an impeller lock screw to secure the pool pump impeller? -Douglass in Colorado Springs, CO Well, we get this question all the time because most new motors do not have the internal threads for a lock screw. So, when pool owners get a motor, they’re a little concerned that their impeller lock screw has nowhere to go. But, we’ve discussed this with pool pump manufacturers and they’ve advised us that the impeller lock screw is no longer necessary for most pump designs because the new impellers will not dislodge for the motor shaft. So, toss the lock screw. Well, there are some exceptions (a more in-depth explanation) because there are some old pumps that still need to use a keyed shaft as a joiner between the impeller and motor. You’d have to check to see when you’re replacing your impeller or pump motor to make sure you have the external threaded motor shaft. Make certain do not need that impeller lock screw before you throw it away. But if you do have the outer threads, or the external threads on the shaft or the motor, you can toss that impeller screw because it’s a redundancy. If you want it in there, you can have it in there, it’s not going to affect anything. It’s not going to make your pump, pump more or less water. It’s kind of a safeguard.

Episode 20: Should I Fix My Cracked Filter Lid?

Feb 17th, 2016 1:37 PM

This is Poolside Chat where every week we answer your questions on how to fix and maintain your swimming pool. Poolside Chat is presented by INYOPools.com, helping pool owners find the right parts since 2001. In today’s episode of Poolside Chat, Rob and Matt tackle another common swimming pool question: Should I Fix My Cracked Pool Filter Lid? “I’m thinking of trying my own pool filter repair because, I have a crack in my filter lid. Is there anything I can do to patch it?” - Chris from Kalamazoo, MI Well Chris, we don’t recommend patching cracked pool filter lids because patches lead to blowouts. The patch and the no damaged filter lid under too much pressure and if for some reason that patch loses its integrity while you’re not home, the resulting crack (possibly, now bigger) could drain your pool. If the pool’s main drain is open it could drain your pool completely or it could possibly drop below the skimmer, then your pump will be running dry which will ruin your pool pump. So we don’t recommend trying to patch it. I know some people have used J-B Weld or other types of epoxies, but we just don’t recommend it. The chances of you being the lucky one to get a cracked pool filter lid to last a few months are there, but not likely.
