Hello all,
I went out to check my pool last night to let out some water as we had a crazy rainstorm, when I shut the pump off to move my sand filter to backwash the pump would not turn back on. When I try to turn on "hi" or Low" speed, I just hear a humming noise and the pump usually does not turn on. Occasionally I can get the pump to turn over by knocking the side of it when low speed is on. I did not see my model of pump on your site and looking at other resources it is hard to find a 2hp, two speed, 115v motor. The closest that I have seen is a AO Smith BN50V1, but this is only a 1.5hp motor. I can buy my entire pump assembly from amazon https://www.amazon.com/Pentair-DYNII-N2-2-Dynamo-Aboveground-without/dp/B008H1RIPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1529977139&sr=8-1&keywords=pentair+340221 but I would like to avoid spending so much if it is not necessary. At the recommendation of a pool parts associate at my local store, I have already replaced my capacitor. Tomorrow morning I will try to clean out the impeller to see if there is any debris, but I am wondering if I should try to change the bearings, or just buy a new motor or a whole new pump.
