Beginner's Guide to Pool Pumps: What Pool Pump Do I Buy? 

Cool they finally put a VFD variable frequency drive on a pump to speed it up or slow it down .

Thank you I almost got a hp3 and have a 2 now

Fantastic content! Thank you guys

Just bought new pool pump wired it up turned it on and it is making a clanking sound

He liked the mention of the shaft

I thought the misinformation was the Variable Speed Pump myth that they are more economical than single speed pumps. The fact that all those extra electronic "features " that inevitably go bad. It's a lie to all accept paying 2K on a pump that will last three years max. My Pentair VSP first got water in display. Replaced that a year ago at $400. Now the bearings are bad along w/driver controller board. If its so economical, why use a 3hp pump?

A bit of misinformation in the video. You claim that when the pump starts making noise or squealing it is the shaft seal that is making the noise. I have over 20 years experience working on swimming pools and pool equipment and have repaired/replaced many pool pumps that were squealing and not one of them had the source of the noise being the shaft seal. On 100% of the pumps I have encountered that owner said "squealed" the source of the squealing WAS a result of the pump shaft seal wearing out, however what makes the noise when the shaft seal wears out is not the seal itself, but is rather the front pump motor bearings that the pool water got into after the shaft seal had started leaking. Replacing the shaft seal will stop the water leakage, but it will not stop the noise. The only thing that will stop the noise is replacing either the pump motor or at least the pump motor shaft bearings. And if replacing the motor shaft bearings, it's a case of false economy to try to only replace the front motor shaft bearings but not replacing the rear shaft bearings because the rear bearings sometimes encounter moisture just from the humidity in the air making them typically start to fail within a year or two after the front shaft bearings were replaced so as a customer, if the pump makes noise, your best option if the bearings are able to be replaced is to replace both motor shaft bearings at the same time that the pump shaft seal gets replaced.

and hes wearing pink,,,,,,,,,"whats a pump do??

Disgusting
