Woke up this morning and noticed the waterfalls and their lights (programmed to Aux 1 and 2 buttons) were running. Went to look at my security cameras and it seems they turned on at 445am this morning. This has never happened before. Thankfully I bypassed the cracked waterfall as otherwise...

So keep having the same issue with my jets sputtering. I removed the pump top and filled it with water and then started the Filter again at the highest variable speed and all was well for a day. Then it happened again, and again this morn. Doesn’t appear to be a not enough water in the pool...

So last year one of my 3 waterfall lights went out and that’s when I realized the way they were installed was quite stupid in the sense that there are no openings in the masonry wall to get to each waterfall if something goes south. Well it went more south. My daughter asked me to turn them...

Not sure what this is called, but trying to see if I can find a 3 or even 4 foot one given it's quite short and sometimes pulls up in the winter causing the cover to sag (I have a feature waterfall wall, which I'm finding is a real pain as the bolts tend to pull out of the wall over...

Just opened up my pool last Thursday (get a service for it) and they as usual shocked the pool. I have kept the gas heater off and been using my bypass to hopefully spare the heat exchanger from the chemicals of the shock. Curious, any thoughts as to how long I would leave the heater off for...

So had a bypass installed to bypass my heater a couple weeks ago. Yesterday I was adjusting the Jandy valve manually to shift flow away from my heater as I was turning off the heater this week. But the valve moved quite freely vs the usual "clicking" and a bit more force I would typically have...

Where are folks getting refills for 871 and other commonly used agents in Canada? I picked up a full kit in Florida a while back but that option isn’t available anymore. Also, for checking chlorine, the test says I can use a 10ml sample or 25ml. For a 25ml sample I am to add two scoops of the...

So looks like I need to replace my Hayward H250FDN heat exchanger and or the whole heater as it’s leaking. Thinking while I’m at it I would install a bypass so that I don’t need to run water through the heater every time the pump runs. Read the bypass thread here Heater Bypass - Further...

Can’t seem to google this. My pool guy is recommending I replace my Hayward H250FCN pool heater (I’m looking into just replacing the heat exchanger which is what i think is leaking). But I can’t figure out how to tell what heaters outside of another Hayward H series would be compatible. I would...

So am about to leave for Europe the day after tomorrow for 2 weeks and went into my equipment room and noticed water in the floor. Looks like the back of the main variable speed pump is leaking. Can anyone think of a possible cause that I can look for? Also, if I leave for 17 days should I...

Had my pool opened last Friday, usually they also turn on the heater but didn't this time around (left the breaker off on the panel). So I turned on the gas and then turned the breaker on. But the heater doesn't seem to be working, pool hasn't changed temp and obviously no heat from the heater...

So a friend of mine (no really, not me!) recently was having issues with his gas heater. Had a guy come over, open up the cover and see what he thought was a considerable amount of soot, and was causing his heater to stop/start and have issues. In conversation, he mentioned that he has a timer...

Not sure if I've just not noticed it before... But there is a strong natural gas smell eminating from my pool equipment in my cabana that I am noticing while outside. I just turned up the temperature of the pool 5 degrees and increased the filter to 80%. Is that normal (maybe coming out of the...

Been googling maintenance for my Coverstar pool cover, in particular the motor , lubrication, etc. Coverstar wants ~$300 to $1,100 for annual maintenance, but I'm wondering how much of this is pretty easy to do. E.g,. lubricating pulleys, greasing fittings, adjusting torque limiter Would love...

So installed my pool 2 summers ago and have had someone open and close it. But it occurred to me I don't hink he has been cleaning the salt cell. Decided to remove it this morn. But I can't seem to get it off. I loosened the two collars completely. But the top part (see picture... Cell was...

So looking to buy a pump mainly for my 24x44 hockey rink which uses about 4000 gallons. But figured I'd get one that would be good in case I never need it on my pool. What are folks using that doesn't break the bank? Will need about 100 foot hose as well. Thx!

So have always had an issue with significant air bubbles in my jets which started up again this week. Above is what I'm talking about. Thursday night I turned up my pool temp from 75 to 88 deg hoping to get in. But this morning 2 days later the pool is registering only 77, and the jets...

So since opening my pool this year I've had this happen with one of the sheers: Can't figure out how to get it to flow properly. Tried cleaning the front with my pool brush but nada. Is there a way to clean these out somehow?

Opened my pool yesterday and I guess with all the snow we had this winter the water level ended up being above the skimmer vs half way. So maybe 3 to 4 inches too high. Is this an issue that I should worry about and get someone with a pump, or something that overtime will come down anyhow?

First off, I'm in Toronto Canada and there doesn't appear to be many choices for us here, certainly not much under 2k anyhow! So thinking of ordering from a US retailer (maybe Marina unless folks recco others as well?) and shipping to my parents in Florida who will be coming back in a month or...

So can't seem to figure this out. One of my jets makes a gurgling/airy/farting noise constantly. Have tried bleeding air out of my cartridge filter system to no avail. Other ideas? Thx!

So have had my "new" pool for the last few weeks. Doesn't get much debris, but looking at a robot regardless. Was thinking of the Dolphin Nautilis CC .... but see so many threads on the S300 and other models. Seems to be a ton of models out there, and I'm in Canada and ideally ordering in from...

Not sure if this is the right forum, but wondering where other folks in the GTA are buying their bleach/chlorine and other stuff? I picked up some at Canadian Tire but wondering if there is a less expensive source: Purox Liquid Chlorine, 5L | Canadian Tire

So I have a stone wall that comes right up to the edge of my 16x32 pool. This will be the first year I have it and am starting to wonder about winter covers for it. How would they work given there is a long side with the wall like this? Sorry for the poor shot, it's from my security cam...

So took some water to get tested at my local pool supply store. Results are below: Free Chlorine 7.19pmm (2 - 4ppm is suggested range) Total Chlorine 7.73ppm (2-4ppm) Combined Chlorine 0.54ppm (0 - 0.2ppm) pH 7.9 (7.2 - 7.6) Hardness 103ppm (150-275ppm) Alkalinity w/stabilizer correction 83ppm...

So had my training on my pool equipment yesterday, and after the guy left I covered the pool and didn't use it until this morning. Opened it up, noticed that the water turned a slight tinge of green. Also noticed debris at the bottom, so thought I'd vacuum. Hooked up the vacuum, nothing...

Just in the process of completing a new pool install. It's a 32x16 salt water pool, steel wall/vinyl, about 3.5 feet deep to 5 feet deep. I also have a wall that will have three 3 foot waterfalls spouting out of a 32 foot wall (see 3D rendering), 2 basic lights in the pool itself and a...

Wasn't sure which forum to post this in, this one seemed the best! New pool owner finishing the construction of a salt water in ground pool (steel walls with vinyl, 32x16 feet, 3.5feet to 5 feet depth). Purchasing Hayward equipment for it, standard package consists of: Hayward "Pro Logic"...
