Re: Replacing a motor on a pump, and getting the correct size for your pool?
Hopefully mas985 reads this and can give some suggestions. I'm not sure how long I can let the pool go without circulation, as it's been since late Friday night that it died. I'm keeping the chlorine high to make sure stagnant water doesn't help lead to any funkiness going on in the water. Obviously manually skimming much more often than I usually do as well.
Here's some info on my filter. The pressure gauge on it seems to be broken, as there's no pressure currently, and it's reading 30 psi. When the pump is running, it typically reads 55-60 psi, so I'm assuming it's actually about 25 psi most of the time. I'm not sure if that pressure reading matters, but I'd seen some sites that used that to calculate the head (I don't have a way to check the suction pressure before the pump, at least not yet...)
