The light does not turn on at all. Honestly, got used to it not working and during a couple days off due to Hurricane Idalia start looking for things to do and thought About trying to fix it. Sounds a bit more complicated than it’s worth to me.

Just replying to say I am glad I found the information in the thread, it was helpful to the extent that I am going to live with having 1 of my 4 laminar lights not work. Got them in my 2016 pool build and one went out a couple years ago and finally today I decided to pull the laminar manual and...

I will go by a plug now. Is filling that hole with gunite/concrete typical practice with a pool builder or half-Rear? Just seems like that skimmer has threads for a reason and a plug would be the way to go.

Quick follow up to my own post - I believe I have a dedicated main drain going back to the equipment. If so, should I just clean that “stuff“ out and get a gray screw in plug to fill that hole like my neighbor has? Staring to think that is where the leak is happening.

Hello, There seems to be some buildup clogging the “from pool main drain” in the skimmer. The “to pump suction” pipe is clear and sucking. I honestly don’t know if that to main drain pipe has always been closed with this stuff or is supposed to be closed. My neighbor has a gray plug screwed...

I appreciate it; unfortunately that route is beyond my abilities and comfort level. If anyone else has ever had this issue, let me know if you were able to resolve it in another fashion. Otherwise, it’s not the end of the world having one light not in sync and not worth paying a professional to...

You lost me at being comfortable doing high voltage electrical wiring, lol - I am not. Fortunately, what you suggest seems unnecessary now. To update my original post, I have since put the Omnilogic into service mode and located the relay that is associated with the lights. When turning on and...

Hello, looking for help from the most helpful pool forum I know. So. . . First upfront, I am aware of the syncing procedure contained in the manual for my Hayward Colorlogic LED (see pic at the bottom of this post). Several posts I found while searching before posting referenced it. But, it...

Just ordered a W3T-Cell-15 from a Hayward authorized online reseller. Thanks to everyone who commented (even the Eskimo guy, lol), the thread was really informative and should provide helpful information to others as well.

Fan shroud is not coming off - screws are stuck - pulled the head off of the first screw trying to loosen it. But, I can reach the fan partially with the pump cover off and the fan spins fine, no noise, and no obstructions between any of the fan blades either. Definitely seems/sounds like the...

So, I’m back by the pump now and was just looking to find the screw you were referring to and pulled up on the cover over the pump and it just comes up 🤷‍♂️. See video. Should this be screwed down? Anyway, about to go back out and unscrew the 4 screws I think take off the shroud over the fan.

A SIRI typo.

Regarding this particular seller, I noticed it says “This is a genuine cell with a 1 year Hayward warranty” but other sites suggest there may be a 3 year warranty. For example, Hayward’s warranty page seems to suggest a 3 year warranty if bought from authorized sellers - see below. is the...

Honestly, I am too now, lol. It runs mostly when I am at work all week but I am surprised it didn't bother me (or my neighbors) more on the weekends. It's a sound I cannot unhear now so hopefully it's the fan or something fixable because wow those motors are not cheap (compared to what I think...

OK. Will do tomorrow as it just got dark here in hot as heck Tampa, Florida. I did take another video just before it got dark turning the pump on, then to Eskimo, then to high, then back to medium, then low, then medium and then off -

Great information. I founds some disassembly instructions for the EcoStar (http://www.haywardnet.com/pdfs/EcoStar-Technical-Guide.pdf) but I’m not sure I am savvy enough to get to the fan To see if something is stuck. I may have to rely on the honestly of a pump repair person to find this out. I...

Yes, thank you and I’d love to hear your thoughts @1poolman1 on the whine. Figure replacement is around the corner. How long are Ecostar pumps expected to last? Easiest for me would be to just replace it with the same pump but if that is a bad idea I will start researching pumps I suppose...

Just verified rpm’s. 30% is 1035 rpm, 50% is 1725 rpm’s (what it normally runs at) and 100% is 3450 rpm’s.

it was running at 50% which is 1725 when you heard that noise. Honestly, I think there has always been air in it at 50% (or for as long as I can remember) - didn’t sound like in the beginning for sure, lol. When at 100% definitely no air. 100% is schedule only for 15 minutes or so per day to get...

Funny you should say that about my Ecostar. Definitely hearing a whining noise which if I understand correctly is a bearings issue from a seal leak. My Tri Star pump for the water features runs so quiet still Compared to my main pump Ecostar. Here is a video I just took after seeing you mention...

Perfect, not much different than taking it off to clean. I assumed when my neighbor said he pays his pool guy $1,200 to replace it there was more to it.
