    Hayward Pool Vac Ultra Problem!!!??

    The suction has been "dialed-in" using the suction gauge that came with the vacuum. There is no more air in the system and the vacuum is working like a dream! I am loving my new dedicated suction line !!!

    Hayward Pool Vac Ultra Problem!!!??

    I just had my pool resurfaced. They capped and filled the infloor cleaing system and installed a dedicated vac line. The pump is a brand new whisperflo. I tried putting lube on the o-ring and tightening the pump basket lid but that did not solve it. I only notice it when I turn the jandy...

    Hayward Pool Vac Ultra Problem!!!??

    I think I figured out my problem. I had too much suction going to the vac. I used my flow gauge that came with the vac to adjust the pressure so it is right in the middle of the min/max window. I just don't understand why the pump basket filled with air???

    How Soon after Re-Plaster can you add borates

    I just had pebblesheen installed this last month. The pool was filled and start up chemicals were added on 01/10. Is there a waiting period that I need to endure before adding borates?

    Remodeling Contract

    Ok thanks! I think I found a rare deal on the autopilot. My question is, how hard is installing a pump and an SWG? I will ask for help from my father-in-law who is a licensed contractor.
