I have a new motor that seems stronger than the one that was replaced but the Polaris is tying itself in knots and not doing the job. There is a very strong discharge into the pool that is highly visible coming from the connector that goes into the wall. Will adding a pressure reducer solve the problem?

I am trying to check my booster pump it appears that I should have more pressure then it has I connected a water hose directly to the inlet and when I turn the water on it begins to flow out the outlet line but when I turn the pump on I do not seem to get a big difference in the water flow should the water flow when the pump is turned on shoot the water up with power I removed the front off and there is nothing blocking inpeler my question is how much pressure and how high should the water shot up when the pump is engaged

My booster pump will not come on. It was working fine two days ago, but when I cleaned out the filters,put it back together the pool pump came on, but the booster pump motor would not come on. Its only a year old. Help

When I removed the 4 through bolts, it sounded like a spring went sprung. Now when I attemptto reinstall the 4 bolts, I insert them all the way and just as they are almost all the way in, it feels like they are pushing against a spring and will not start to thread. They did not break off when taking out so they are still the original length. Do I have to open the case to do something before reinserting?

The polaris flex hose is leaking on both ends. I have tried removing and replacing it and making sure it was on all the way and then rescrewing the caps, but it still leaks. This is the hose that the pump returns water to the pool with black screw down caps. Can the hose be trimmed and replaced to solve the problem, or do we need new hose and connectors?

Hi Alicea,

You can buy something called a “Polaris hose kit” that will include new hoses for the pump and the fittings that spin into the booster pump as well.

Let me know if you need more help.

Yes I did backwash the filter and the PSI is around 12. Where should I check for suction leaks? How do I find out of the pump is working at maximum strength?

Hi John,

Have you tried back washing the filter? Although the noise is motor bearings the pump should still run providing you don’t have suction leaks and the pool filter is running at the correct PSI.

Let me know if you need more help.
