Hi all, I previously did the bucket test, both pump on and pump off, with resulted in no difference in bucket and pool water loss. That was last week. Well I did the bucket test again (pump on) just to be sure. Did it from monday 7am to today 7am. 12 hours showed no loss, but after 24 hours...

Hi All, I'm having an issue with a leaky shaft seal. I've replaced the seal 3 times already. First time lasted a few weeks, second and third time less than a day before it started a slow drip again. Any thoughts on what else could be wrong? Possibly the seal plate? I couldn't see anything...

Hi All, About 2 weeks ago I was concerned that I might have a leak. Even with the solar cover on, my pool was losing some water. Air temp dropped considerably those few days (around mid to upper 50's at night) and my water temp was pretty warm (high 80's). I did the bucket test (24 hours with...

Hi All, Just wondering if anyone else has experienced evaporation with the solar cover on. I'll be doing the bucket test to check for leaks this week. About the past week or so, the temp. outside has cooled off at night and has been going as low as 55-57F. Pool temp was pretty high before...

Hi, I have a Hayward EC65, no multiport, just a backwash/drain valve on the bottom of the filter. We just got a good amount of rain the past 2 days and I want to drain my pool a little, only about an inch or so. Do I lose a little DE every time I drain or vacuum to waste? And if so, should I...

Hi, I was told that I could add Alkalinity and PH increaser through the skimmer. Is this correct? I run my filter 24/7 and I dont have a heater attached. Thanks.

Hi, I have a hayward offline chlorinator hooked up which I havent used for 2 years. The only reason I even have it hooked up is because of the two holes I had to drill in my pvc piping to install it. Does anyone know what I can use to cap these holes off so I dont have to hook it up anymore...

Hi, I have a hayward EC65 and I'm trying to get to the check valve inside the filter. I'm guessing that I need to remove the elbow assembly, but it's stuck in there pretty good. Any ideas on how to take it out? I don't want break anything. I attached a photo of the part I'm referring to. If...

Hi, So I got my Hayward ec65 taking apart looking for what could be causing de leaking into the pool. Didn't see any tears in the fingers and everything looked good. What else could have caused the leak? Could the gasket have gotten unseated? Thanks in advance!

Hey all, Planning on taking apart the filter to check and clean. Been noticing some DE accumulating on the pool floor around the return jets and the pressure is running a little lower than normal. Took it apart two years ago to clean and acid wash and I had a heck of a time putting the cover...

Hi, Just a quick question - Usually my filter runs at 15psi. Its been steady at 15 for a few weeks (filter is always running 24/7) and I havent had to bump the filter since I got the pool opened and cleaned (it was a big green swamp!). We've had a couple heavy rains and I've drained the pool a...

Hi, Sorry for the silly question, but just wanted to ask if it's alright to run the pool filter if the water level reaches above the top of the skimmer. We had some heavy rains the past two days and the water level is higher than I normally keep it. When I went to drain the pool the T handle...

Hi Everyone, When my filter is off, the pressure gauge only goes back down to around 2, not 0. When the filter is on, the gauge seems to be working fine and reads 15-16 (Just opened the pool and its gotten to 18 but bumping brings it right back down to 15). Should I replace it? Wasn't sure if...
