My pool is approximately 15 years old. The OE cartridge filter, a Hayward C5520CP, just cracked. Of the current ones out there, which one would be the most comparable, and the simplest to install (pipes lining up to fittings, etc) based on the current 5520? Thanks in advance!

I am constantly cleaning off poop of the walkway that surrounds my spa around the spillover, as the birds have decided it's their pool/spa and they can do whatever they please. :mad: Yesterday, I bought a fake owl with a bobble head from Home Depot. Within about an hours I saw a bird STANDING...

Good morning. I recently replaced my old Hayward Ecostar pump with a new TriStar. The installation was mostly seamless. I do have a question about wiring the automation, however. As the old one new are not the same. I included pictures of how the EcoStar was wired to the automation system...

My previous pump just died, and a new TriStar variable speed pump is now on the way. I do have a number of questions regarding setup for my automation and ideal pump speed and runtime duration. First, some general info. My pool is approximately a 25,000 gallon diving pool. It has an attached...

Hey all, My Hayward SP3400VSP pump just died. Obviously I need to replace it ASAP. What recommendations do you have, and what pump will come laid out with the same dimensions so it will be an easy swap, with the plumbing all lining up easily, etc.? Thank you all in advance!

So yesterday I was working on my pop-ups gear cluster. Some of the small retaining washers holding the gears down were gone, and the gears were walking off each other. Well, I couldn't fit a vernier into the opening to measure the shafts, so I simply removed the whole thing to take to ACE to...

My pool runs automatically through the night on spillover mode for about six hours. Is there any way I can configure the PS-4 to change that to run for *just* pool mode for the majority of that time (so the pop-up cleaning system can do its thing), and then spillover for a short period of time...

I have a missing spa return jet, as well as a few broken pieces (I bought the home with the spa in this condition). I'd like to replace everything. There are five jets total. I can't seem to find the right pieces though. I'm also curious if I have better options (spinning jets to replace the...

My pool has an auto pool leveler. The problem is the float was not present when I bought the house. I went to Leslie's to pick one up. The thread on what I bought is straight (non-tapered) thread, and the female end inside the leveler "skimmer" area is tapered pipe thread. Therefore, they...

Good morning everyone. I have a suction side leak. They suck! lol. I've had the pool since November. From the beginning I had an air leak from the main drain line, as the popups would spit a pretty sizable amount of air when pulling from the drain. When pulling from the skimmer, they...

Hey all, I had a brand new H400FDN heater installed on 12/21/2015. It worked fine up until today. When I turn on the pump, the heater lights flicker and then it goes dead. Turning off the pump and restarting it resulted in the same thing a few times. Now, it appears to just be completely...

Hi all, I have a Hayward AquaLogic PS-4 control board with the AQL2SSRF remote. Can I upgrade to the Aqua Pod remote? I have the upgraded software version. How do I know what base receiver I have though?? I don't want to spend the money only to find out it's incompatible. Thank you!!

Hi guys, I bought a house a few months ago with a pool and raised spa. The control board was set to kick the filter on around midnight. It ran in spillover mode for about four hours, then switched to low speed spillover for a few hours, and then to just spa for another hour or so. Well, I...

Hi all, I just recently bought a house with a pool/spa. The heater was dead when I moved in and just had a new F400HDN installed. The pumps are set to run overnight between spillover for the majority of the time, and then spa mode for a short period thereafter. I noticed this AM that the...

Hi all, Is it possible to simply drain the spa into the pool using the AquaLogic controller? The dark tiled walls have some calcium and limestone deposits I'd like to clean off, and figure the easiest way would be to drain it. Dumping the water into the pool would save me from having to waste...

Hi all, I just bought a house with an inground pool and attached spa. I'm curious how quickly the heater *should* heat up the spa. Its not small, but it's not huge either. Just a good size. I have a Hayward H400 heater. This morning, I attempted to heat up the spa, and it went from 71 to...

Hi all, I'm brand new here, just saying hi. My fiancé and I recently moved to Arizona (just west of Phoenix) from northeast Pennsylvania. We're in the process of buying a home with an in-ground diving pool and attached spa. I have limited experience with either, so I'm hoping to learn...
