Hi all, Our one-speed Hayward super pump 230V finally bit the dust and we are installing a new Hayward 2-speed super pump max in its place with the same voltage. New pump Model # SP2607X102S, 1 HP Attached are pictures of my husband's work in wiring the new pump, and the schematic. We won't be...

http://blog.haywardpoolside.com/pool-ca ... 6f30de375e There's so much missing information here, like in our case we can't use a SWG or else our heater will corrode as we don't have the newer style made with titanium (this is what our repair guy told us based on his experience). I just don't...

Hi, I have a question that is probably pretty obvious but I need confirmation pleez. We had a small leak at the connection where the t-fitting is where the tubing leads up to the ozonator, so he decided since the ozonator is old and not producing ozone to just replace the entire line without...

Ouch - two guys came out yesterday to replace the bad compressor in my Hayward heat pump and they were there for 4 hours, for a total of 8 man hours. The rest is travel time since this Hayward-certified HVAC company is 40 minutes away. The compressor and capacitor were under warranty for n/c...

Hi, I have some old pucks that are really so old that the plastic jug they are in has deteriorated and cracked. The pucks themselves look decent and I'm still slowly using them each season to replenish the stabilizer lost over the winter. I happen to have a nearly empty pail of cal-hypo and...

I'm a bit confused here .. We use a tarp to cover our pool for the winter for the reason that it blocks the light to help prevent algae from growing. So if algae doesn't like darkness, then why does it grow first and the best under the darkest places in my pool such as under the rungs of my...

While running the heat pump it started making a loud noise then quit. :rant: It won't even run anymore - just trips the breaker as soon as it comes on. We are having a guy come out tomorrow to take a look at it, but he said it might be shot. It's only a few years old - how long do these...

Hi, in having a heat pump that my water flows through all the time when the pump is on, is it advisable to keep calcium levels higher than the minimum recommendation of 50 for a vinyl pool? Just wondering since I keep my calcium levels higher in my hot tub to help protect the equipment and so...

Hi, I'm helping some friends balance their ig pool after opening for the first time - it came with the home they bought late last fall and of course they opened to a nice bright green lime jello water. Their PH is extremely low (the test results in the vial are yellow, not even orange :? )...

Hi, we opened our pool three weeks ago; the water was quite clear and there were no issues. However, I've recently noticed that the water has an odor when standing nearby; it's an odor of like stale beer or something. I also had this odor last year spring and thought it was the winter...

We had our heat pump installed a couple of years after we had the pool put in, and we thought it would be standard that a diverter valve be put in to keep the filtered water from flowing needlessly through it when not in use. The pressure on the filter has doubled from about 5 to 10 since...

Hello all, I've been mostly a reader of this forum and the original one (Ben's pool forum) for quite awhile now and have gained a wealth of information. I'm so grateful that I've decided to try and participate more (my time is limited because I'm giving caregiving my 96 year old dad) in order...
