Just FYI - replaced impeller should have paid more attention to belt

[alldodge]

A previous thread I posted mentioned about replacing my impeller last season. This season I noticed the temp was going a bit higher then I was use to so I pulled the impeller to have a look. Turned out it had crackes and needed replacing. I bought several impellers years ago and achris noted they did have a date on them. So some of the bulk impellers I bought were from 1999. All those went in the trash.

Today - head out and after about 20 minutes my alarm goes off, so I shut it down, temp is at 210 degrees. After a bunch of looking around turns out the belt broke. Should have replaced it years ago, but it was hard to see and took some standing on my head to see it. So I am replacing all belts.... This time.

Just to add to the suggestions, make sure your pulleys are clean. If they are not, clean them up and paint them to prevent rust.

Thanks, but never had a rusty pulley other then on something that sat for many years outside
