    Hayward Heater sensors and manifold

    Hello, I’m working on my Hayward H400FDN. I’m getting the SF/5F sensor failure error, it would start if I cycled it a few times but now won’t at all. It appears there’s the thermistor (I assume this is just a thermostat) with the red and black twisted wires and two other sensors. Possibly...

    Hayward Colorlight replacement

    Hello, found a few threads but all older. Both my Hayward colorlogic lights (pool and spa) are dead after 9 years. I’m finding replacements around $800 each and the repairman wants $1000 for parts and labor (actually not bad for the labor it seems) BUT I don’t have $2000 to drop right now! I’m...

    LED Replacement

    I have a 10” pool and 6” spa LED lights. They are about 9 years old. About 6 months ago the pool started occasionally turning on just for a few seconds on the wrong color with the timer but is now dead. Hot tub died about a 2 weeks ago. I’m seeing everything from $45 to $800 to replace these...

    Main Board Replacement

    Bit of an old thread but I appear to have the same problem. Did you replace it yourself? Any issues if so? I’m really liking the $200 repair vs the $1000 replacement while I’m stuck in the house!

    Hayward 3c SWG - too good to be true?

    I found a few (including one with great thoughts from you on it!) but only found one person that had actually used it and they were quoting a price double this one. The fact very few people have used it pretty much tells me what I need to know. I was hoping to avoid a big install charge in...

    Hayward 3c SWG - too good to be true?

    This seems too good to be true, about $200 and a self install and I can have my 15K gal pool on saltwater. Am I missing something here? Hayward Salt Swim 3C Salt Cell - 30K IG Pools Thanks!

    K-2005 Kit Upgrade?

    I'm new to the TFP method and very happy I switched! I found this because my chlorine shocks weren't working which led to me discovering CYA levels which I didn't even know to test before. I believe I have the K-2005 kit (it came from Leslies but is Taylor) and it appears to have everything...

    CYA very high and algae

    I'm a newer pool owner, this will be season 3. First year didn't do anything but put chlorine tablets in and kept the pool frog mineral pack in service. Year 2 started having continual algae problems. Did research this year, found this website and learned about CYA in the tablets and shock...
