Thanks so much for the help! I'll probably try to repair it with an epoxy like suggested, but does anybody know if the Hayward SP1091WM is available in gray? My dealer says mine should be a Hayward but it seems like they only available in white. They said they could order it in gray but I...

It looks like my skimmer basket got cracked over the winter: Here is the skimmer: I've been looking at videos and it seems like I need to pull down the liner and replace the entire skimmer? I was hoping the basket (?) was separate from the skimmer frame (?) (the thing inside the pool) but...

Thanks again for the information. It's running again and it sounds like a old hotel boiler room or something. It just sounds like a very very loud (rumbling) furnace. It's the same kind of sound my quiet heater makes but just cranked 20x louder.

Would the larger (?) heater require a larger gas line? Is it adjustable on the unit? Thanks... I haven't seen him backwash the pool in several weeks (or all summer?) but I might not have seen it of course.

I live really close to one of my neighbors and his pool heater is on the side near our house. He has an above-ground 24' pool and replaced a broken Hayward H100ID heater with what appears to be a Hayward Universal H-series. However, it's makes an noisy rumbling sound. The decibel level isn't...

It might be a few days before I can take a photo underwater. It's been raining for the past 24 hours and it's supposed to keep raining for a couple of days. The hole is located about 1 foot from the bottom of the pool but on the side wall. Did you want a picture to help determine the cause of...

The liner is only 2 years old and I have no idea how it got the hole. It's behind the removeable ladder and doesn't touch the side of the pool so I'm really quite stumped. Would you recommend the Boxer Vinyl Pool Repair Kit? I'm going to check my local pool stores tomorrow but I want to make...

I've had my above-ground pool for just over 2 years (~28 months?) and I was taking one last swim before winterizing the pool and I found a 3/4" hole on the side wall of the pool. Do I need to replace the liner or should I try a patch? One of my concerns is that I won't be able to see the water...

I was just trying to make it go a little faster (and further from the pool) but I was able to use gravity to drain just below the return. Is that OK (drained by gravity just below the return) or do I need to drain it any further?

I have an above ground pool that I need to winterize and I’d like to drain it just below the return. I’ve used backwash/waste to drain below the skimmer but now I need to go lower (below the return). Is it safe to connect my pool pump to the return and pump water out that way?

Sorry, I don't see the picture? If I remove the grommet and even the heat exchanger, if the coupler is attached with pipe dope (glue?) how will I be able to remove it to attach a replacement? If you take a look at the picture above, part #11 is the broken coupler. It's threaded, but that...

Thanks so much for the reply! What do you mean by sealed and not glued? Here is the manual which shows a parts diagram: https://www.hayward-pool.com/assets/documents/pools/pdf/manuals/h-series-induced-draft.pdf Here is a snippet: However, I've tried to turn the remaining PVC part but it...
