Hayward Tristar pumps.

Function of the capacitor: The start capacitor provides the impulse to start the pump motor and ensures smooth operation by stabilizing the electrical current. A faulty capacitor can lead to starting difficulties or reduced pump performance.

Installation tips:

Safety: Before any intervention, ensure that the pump is disconnected from the power supply.
Access: Open the pump housing to reach the existing capacitor.
Replacement: Carefully remove the old capacitor and install the new capacitor, paying attention to the original connections.
Verification: After installation, reconnect the power supply and test whether the pump operates correctly.

If you are not comfortable with this procedure, it is advisable to consult a professional to ensure a proper and safe installation.
