Hi. I need to replace my Hayward DE Filter. I currently have a Hayward EC45 DE Filter with a 1.5HP motor. The motor is fine but I have to replace the filter. I cannot find the EC45 model anymore. They sell the EC40 and the EC50. Can I use the EC40 with a 1.5HP motor? If not, will it work...

Hi Everyone. We just opened our 24 feet above ground pool a few weeks ago. The water tested very well but for some reason, I am getting DE back into my pool. We've been vacuuming it up with the automatic pool cleaner and it's been consistently picking up the DE. This morning, I see DE in the...

If there are anyone out there that closes their pool without putting on a winter cover, can you please share your process? I've had my above-ground pool for about 10 years now. When we first got it, we would do the normal closing with the winter cover on our pool. However, due to having a...

Hi. We've had our above-ground pool for six seasons now and have decided to finally get a slide. Does anyone have any suggestions or pictures they can show me? I've seen pictures of the Boomerang, but I'm not sure I have enough deck space at the location where the pumps are located. It seems...

This morning when we put the pool rover jr. into our above ground pool and turned it on, it started, rolled a couple of feet and then died. I checked the power to make sure the power was on and I also reset it, but nothing worked. Can anyone tell me what I should look for in regards to...

I've been reading a lot of posts on how different people have their plumbing for their above ground pools. Alot of it doesn't quite make sense to me because I'm real newbie at this and seeing it is easier than reading it. Even though I've had my pool for 5 years, I've always just assumed that...

Once again, we are having problems with our Hayward H-150 pool heater. We had problems with it last year, had it repaired at $475 and then it stopped working again towards the end of the season. My BIL told me to order a part for it which I did and he replaced it today, but, I'm still getting...

Me too. I just opened my above-ground pool last weekend and had a ton of worms. However, I did not cover my pool for the winter, so I thought maybe some birds just dropped them in. I have to say that this was the easiest pool opening ever. It took my husband and me less than one hour. Our...

You may have read on my previous post that I am looking for a way to close my above ground pool, which has a surrounding deck all the way around it. One of my biggest problem is the huge crosswind that we get, and the wind gets underneath the solid winter cover. In order to hold it down, we've...

I have a Hayward H150 heater and the rocker switch needs to be replaced. It was not working early in the season and we had a plumber look at it. He replaced some parts and it was working for a little while, then it stopped working. We didn't need to use the heater during the summer because...

I wanted to get some suggestions on closing my pool. I have a 24 feet above ground pool with a deck built all around the pool. Part of my pool is dug into the ground and I can't get under the deck because it's too low to the ground. I've had my pool for 4 seasons and have done pretty much the...

This is our third season with our Hayward H150 gas heater. Every year, my husband has problems getting it started. I never touch it, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Today, he tried starting it and nothing.... I guess there are directions on the heater itself and he followed the...

There have been a lot of good feedback on this board and on the Pool Forum board about the Poolskim. I went on the website and it does say that you can use it on an above-ground pool, which is what I have. I was wondering if anyone has this thing and if they might have any pictures of what it...

Hi. I am looking at getting an above-ground pool vacuum cleaner, preferably one that does not connect to the pumps. I've had my pool for 3 years and am tired of using the manual vacuum cleaner. It's hard to manuver and I always manage to get air into the pump. I also have one of those lady...

Hi Everyone. I'm new here from Tinley Park, Illinois. We purchased our pool about 3 1/2 years ago. We've been using the BBB method and it works great. I hope to get a chance to chat with everyone in the near future! We have a 24 feet round Artesian above-ground pool. It's 54" deep. We use...

Hi. I have an above ground pool. When we closed our pool, we put one of those inflatable pillows in the center of the pool and then placed the winter pool cover on top of that. I'm not quite sure what the pillow does, but I just noticed that it must have gotten a hole and deflated. I live in...
