No, but it will not clean the water just circulate it, the water will still turn green after a while you should get a filter hooked up as soon as you can.
Ice isn't meant to be in a pool pump. this can damage/ruin it. that is why you hear a grinding noise. cheers <3 -Eli
Yes you can. But it is highly discouraged since you are now not filtering any large items out of your pull which then goes into your pump and will ruin the pump.
its a low volume high preasure pump. there no good for a pool they dont have the flow and if is a cast iron pump it will bleed , so you will have rust streaks. but if its all ya got go with it.. your pool pump repair guy in longwood fl
This is (obviously) important, given that you could ruin your filter or send contaminated water back into your pool. Don't be cheap. Buy a new multiport valve.
You can probably find the plumbing to step down to the right size but the pool pump will have more water flow then a garden hose can safely handle. Your going to ruin either the pump or yourself.
Sand and DE filter have a multi-port valve that has setting labeled backwash, filter, recirculate and waste. by turning the handle to the the waste setting and vacuuming the pool you will flush the water out the waste line and not through the filter and back to the pool. Cartridge filters do not have these valves, you clean it by taking the cartridge out and hosing it off. you will not be able to vacuum to waste without adding a valve and a dedicated waste line. I have known pool owners to take the lid off the cartridge filter and vacuum letting the water overflow the top; not recommended, it will create bigger mess, and possibly ruin your pump motor. Try shocking pool with strong shock, using a clarifier and running pool 24/7 while cleaning the filter at least one or twice a day. The more you filter and clean it the faster it clears up.
Replace the fuel filter before proceeding. That may be your problem. It may also be a fuel pump failing, especially if the fuel filter is clogged. A clogged fuel filter will ruin an otherwise good pump. Can also be a defective fuel pump relay.
The mechanical seal probably needs to be replaced, or it may be the seal plate gasket. if it is the seal it will eventually ruin the pump motor if not replaced. Go to you tube for a how to videoPOOLCENTER.com - Hayward Pool Pump Impeller-Seal Replace 2
If you know positively the fuel pump is good then either the fuel pump fuse is blown or the fuel pump relay is defective. Inspect the fuse and replace the relay. Also be sure and replace the fuel filter as it may be partially clogged. A partially clogged filter will ruin a fuel pump.
No. When you get out of it you will be coloured and you will have to take a shower/bath 4 times or more or less. So do not do it. And also, you will ruin your pool.
Not keeping oil in it, not changing the oil and filter, not servicing the timing belt when it needs it, running it without coolant.
Partially clogged fuel filter will ruin a good pump in short order. Also check all the fuel lines to make sure one is not bent or crimped closed.
