Thanks for the info, this is going to save me some money.

Unfortunately, pool salt seems to be expensive in Canada. A 44lb (20kg) bag is $10 regular price, but can be found for $8, so double your cost.

Has anyone here heard of, or own the Hayward AquaRite Low Salt Generator system offered in Canada? I am in the process of finding a SWG and came across this. I am intrigued by it because it only costs slightly more than the regular AquaRite system, and with the lower salt concentration needed...

I googled and found the following which I will be trying when I get home, hope it helps someone else dealing with the same issue as well: http://www.inyopools.com/HowToPage/how_ ... _seal.aspx http://www.wikihow.com/Replace-a-Swimmi ... -Pump-Seal

Is the Shaft Seal the same as the Seal Assembly? I bought the Seal Assembly already, but am having problems removing the impeller. I can't seem to get a good hold on the shaft with a wrench I inserted to prevent it from rotating, and the impeller seems to be very tightly fastened as well. I...

I noted that my Hayward Super Pump was leaking from the bottom, so I changed the old Diffuser Gasket and the Housing Gasket, and yet the leak continued. In fact, it appears that once the pump is turned off, the water drains immediately from the pump housing (this did not happen before I changed...

Success! It was a plug in the backwash line afterall, thanks to all for your inputs. Now, on to my next problem, a leak coming from my pump which I will start another thread if I can't resolve.

Thanks for all the suggestions, they are really helpful. Hopefully it is as simple as a plug in the backwash line, then I don't have to remove all the lines to check the valve. The last time I removed one of the pipes to change a connector, it caused leaks that took me longer than expected to...

Thanks for the messages. I checked if there was any flow at the return while backwashing, draining or rinsing, and the answer and no. I did not have time to remove the sand filter valve to check yet but will report back shortly when I do. I'm a total rookie with this, so what should I be...

I inherited an inground pool when I bought the house 3 years ago and everything worked okay even though it has pretty dated equipment like a Jacuzzi Laser 225 sand filter and an old Hayward Superpump. Due to various personal reasons, I only got to open my inground pool this past weekend. I was...

I've talked to different pool owners and pool stores, and there is no consistent answer. Slightly more than half say to add, the rest say it is unnecessary. We do get freezing conditions up here, so I'm inclined to think it is additional insurance, although now I'm not so convinced anymore.
