Sta Rite StaRite Duraglas Pump 1 12 HP Single Speed Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jul 28, 2010

I have a 18 year old dura-glas pool pump. Recently, when turned on, the pump sometimes just 'hums' for about 3-4 seconds, then starts. The pump is primed and does not leak. There are no obstructions inside the housing. Other times, the pump starts right up. Any ideas? Thank you

SOUNDS LIKE THE START SWITCH IS DIRTY OR IT MAY NEED A CAPACITOR it's a 161start cap THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE BEST PUMP YOU CAN HAVE ! THESE AS ALL PUMPS CAN BE TRICKY TO WORK ON, THIS COULD HAVE THE MOTOR REPAIRED WITH NEW BEARINGS AND A SHAFT SEAL AND DIFFUSER ALL FOR ABOUT 100.00 .. LOOK FOR YOUR LOCAL POOL PUMP MOTOR REPAIR GUY OR SHOP.. USE YOUR ZIP CODE IN YOUR SEARCH .. GOOD LUCK AND VOTE .. Jay
