Good point. I’ll kick it up again and maintain it until it clears.

i opened my pool five weeks ago, ran the SLAM process and am maintaining chemicals. My water will not clear up (I still can’t see the drains in the deep end). Current test results below: FC 7 CC 0.5 Ph 7.4 Alkalinity 60 CYA 40 any ideas? It’s like the sand filter isn’t filtering well. Do...

My original thought was I used bleach with an additive but I would have noticed that when I poured in the bleach...at least I hope I would have.

We recently opened our pool and have a film on the top of the water (pic attached). I’ve never seen this before. We have had the pump running nonstop for five days so far and the water is still cloudy and this film is floating on the surface. My recent test results are below. Any ideas on how...

After disabling the flow switch, the pump has remained on. Thank you for this. I will look into the flow switch.

I am getting good flow however the flow switch is showing no flow. Is there a sensor that would need to be replaced? I disabled the flow switch and we’ll see if the pump stays on (I didn’t know how to do that, so thank you for the info)

The pump will kick back on when I push the filter button however it will shut off in 20 mins or so afterwards.

The timers are off, so I don't think that's the issue and i'm not sure what else in the automation would be the problem.

I don't believe the motor is being turned off by automation. It could be overheating (it's not hot and there is no warning). The filter light goes off. The new motor is the same as the old (1.5hp). As far as wiring, I think I did it right but I could have done it wrong. There are two wires and...

The timer is off (meaning the pump should be running nonstop) and i'm not sure what other program would be affecting the pump run time.

I have prologic automation to turn the pump on and off.

At the end of last year, our pump died and we replaced the motor with the same 1.5hp Hayward Superpump this weekend. Things seemed to be set up just fine and the pump kicked on no problem. I am opening the pool, so the water is really dirty. I first vacuumed to waste and ran the pump for...

We are considering opening our inground pool tonight. Recently we had a bad storm and several sections of our fence were damaged leaving my backyard and pool open to anyone or anything. The fence company is coming this afternoon and will finish it up tomorrow, and I'd like to keep the mesh...

Thanks for the info, Jason. Very helpful.
