Not sure if I need a new one. Hayward 1.5 hp pump keeps shutting off for about 30 seconds and then coming back on. Not flipling the breaker either. DE recently changed. Filter pressure normal. Baskets cleaned out. Anything else you can think of. Help please.

Pool pump about 3 yrs old. Hayward powerflo 1.5 hp. Noticed that it has started turning itself off for about 40 seconds and then it will turn back on. I originally thought maybe the filter pressure was too high but at this point not the case. The de filter pressure is fine. Any tips or advice...

Over time I am wondering by the end of the summer season do you suppose the cya will have come down. You know a fresh start for next year!

The pool is almost clear. The filter is still having a little trouble but not near what it was.

So I should add 4 gallons of 12% which will raise it to at least 34

So we need to maintain 39 free chlorine for the next couple days

Yeah we can try that but we really can't drain pool again. The water is clear just a little cloudy. We pass the slam test minus the clear water. So I think I am just going to run a high chlorine level for now and hope the cya will decrease over time. If we don't add anyone stabilizer will the...

OK. I hope you are still available to help me. After 2 long days we drained the pool at least half and started over. I vacuumed the pool today and got up all of the yuck from the bottom. It looks like sand. My readings fc 10 cya 100 all 120 pH 7.2. I am going to bump the filter every hour and...

The pump and filter have basically been down for about a week and half. There was nothing on the bottom until we added the 50 lbs of bicarb and the stabilizer which was granular. Then we saw this buildup but with a filter that only works for an hour it has made it impossible to run and vac Sent...

Sort of. Once you start vacuum you can get a lot out but it also stirs it up to cause cloudy pool Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Well we are going with your recommendation. Drain and fill and start over. Yipee.... Maybe then we can get somewhere. I may be back for more advice. I was on here a lot previously a few years back when we had the dreaded baquacil that would not clear up so we did a switch to chlorine. That was...

We still can't swim or run the filter for longer than an hour. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk
