Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club Thank you! I will look into those two models - spending less will be ideal:cool:.

Re: Doheny's Discovery, S200, Active20, Triton owners club I have an above ground pool. Would this be too much of a pool cleaner for an above ground? I had purchased the Pool Rover 10 years ago and loved it. It finally broke and I bought a replacement two years ago and it just isn't the...

So we ended up replacing the filter. There were too many broken fingers. I guess 13 years was enough for this filter and we got our money's worth. LOL. Everything is running great now but we have to get our numbers up and get rid of algae. I have another small problem now but will start a...

Just following up. I ended up sending an email to Hayward and they said that I could buy the smaller filter. It actually is the replacement of the one I had. We purchased it on Amazon and it arrived in two days. It's now hooked up and everything is running great. I now have another problem...

I will purchase the larger filter. Thanks!

Hi. I need to replace my Hayward DE Filter. I currently have a Hayward EC45 DE Filter with a 1.5HP motor. The motor is fine but I have to replace the filter. I cannot find the EC45 model anymore. They sell the EC40 and the EC50. Can I use the EC40 with a 1.5HP motor? If not, will it work...

Is the return jet "the eye"? Sorry, I don't know all the terminologies. Thanks so much for your help!

I'm back. My husband checked and the filter is installed correctly. He did not take the filter apart because he couldn't find the plugs to plug up the pool to take the filter apart. We're going to have to go to the pool store to buy the plugs to do this before taking the filter apart. By the...

Hi Richard, My husband installs the filter every year. I don't think he installed it backwards but you never know. LOL! I will definitely have him check. Originally I thought I had algae. I shocked the pool yesterday morning and just checked the levels. They are still at shock levels...

Hi Everyone. We just opened our 24 feet above ground pool a few weeks ago. The water tested very well but for some reason, I am getting DE back into my pool. We've been vacuuming it up with the automatic pool cleaner and it's been consistently picking up the DE. This morning, I see DE in the...

I have a pool rover junior for about five years - just loved it. It still works but not as well so this year, I bought a new one. They changed it. It's not as good. It doesn't pick up like it used to and the cord tangles like crazy. It also doesn't move in the pool like it used to. My old...

Hi Crackerjack4u, That's a great idea about the clothes pins. I never thought of that and probably because I've never hung my clothes outside and forgot there were such a thing! LOL!!!! I think we're going to go with the uncovered pool again but will wait until the pool water falls below 60...

If there are anyone out there that closes their pool without putting on a winter cover, can you please share your process? I've had my above-ground pool for about 10 years now. When we first got it, we would do the normal closing with the winter cover on our pool. However, due to having a...

How do I set the filter to recirculate? I didn't think I can do that with my filter? Thanks.

We are having the same problems. We opened the pool with ALOT of algae - more than we've ever had. This was the fourth winter that we haven't covered the pool for the winter. This was a weird winter and had some 80 degree days in March. We kept backwashing our DE filter, but we keep losing...
