Hi y'all does anybody know if you can by spares for these pool pumps ie new motors etc and any diagnostics, cos ive got power to the pump but it aint doing anything.Its linked to an inline heater we fit so without this starting it doesnt activate the inline heaters paddle switch therefore cold swimming pool. dont really deal with pool stuff but a new one is £600.

Yes, you can get spares I used to look after these. May just be a motor capacitor that needs replacing which costs about £5.

If it's the motor however it could end up costing almost as much as a new unit. The motors can be rewound if necessary without having to replace.

Take your pump to a company that does motor rewinds and repairs and they will be able to help.

cheers pal sounding like a capacitor or something cos it doesnt sound like the motors stuck or humming also the motor wasnt hot like its stuck....dont know if thats a correct asumption ( only going off heating pump knowledge).

Those fancy pool pumps are expensive for what they are.
I'm trying a central heating pump on a pool in a couple of weeks. The place won't be open, So we will be playing about with different pumps.
I have two identical pumps. One is listed as a pond pump £75 trade. The other is listed as a swimming pool pump £600. They are both the same.

Surely you'd be better off with a bronze or stainless steel bodied pump? I saw a standard heating pump on a secondary return once, had me baffled for a couple of hours wondering why the dhw was rust coloured till I spotted it.
