    New pool pump motor... low pressure low return flow
    We bought a home with warranty,the pool motor and timer went out... repair company replaced the motor and internal timer mechanism... it is 1 horse 220 volt system... had an eplus motor on it and the pressure was about 10 to 12 pounds on the gauge and the return flow was obvious as it would push ripples across the water to the opposite side to pool steps... after he replaced timer guts and looks like a rebuilt magnatek motor... I have 2 lbs pressure and very little flow... now the baskets and kreepy are all clean and operational like as before... so I'm wondering why?. there is 2 120 voltage lines in and out of the timer and to the legs on the motor... but while running the lines on motor has 120 and 5 volts... normal? I can attach pics

    Turn off all power to your equipment and double check the connections at the time clock. Then remove the back cover on the motor and double check the connections there and also check to make sure the motor is set up for 220.

    This is terrible. You should definitely consult your dealer. Choosing the best pool, hot tubs and spa dealer is a critical part of your purchasing decision. The combination of water, electrical controls, motors, and exposure to the elements means you'll eventually need maintenance of some kind on your tub—and the dealer is the source on which you will depend.

    Look for dealers who provide service calls, as opposed to those who pass service calls off to a third party. You want the expertise and reliability of dealer repairs—not a third party that has a large customer base to deal with.

    Similarly, you'll want to choose a dealer who handles his own deliveries. Those who outsource delivery may not consider the challenges specific to your situation—narrow entryways, for example, or unsuitable supports—when they sell you the tub, leading to a big "uh-oh" moment when the delivery arrives.
