    Hayward AquaTrol J-5 jumper

    I have a question about using the J-5 jumper to allow the AquaTrol to utilize the T-15 cell. Once the J-5 jumper is accomplished, can the AquaTrol also use the T-5 cell or is it permanently locked into using the T-15 cell? Thanks, John

    Above ground pool vac

    Can anyone recommend a good robot pool vac that does not climb the walls? Last vac that I had that climbed the walls wound up putting a hole in the pool liner at the bottom where the pool walls are bolted together. Apparently the pool installers did not put enough duct tape over the bolt heads...

    Should I use o-ring lube on the plastic union that connects my pump to the Hayward filter.

    Had to disconnect the pump from the filter for pump seal repair. The Hayward Superflo Matrix pump was connected to my Hayward earth filter with a plastic union. When I reconnect the pump to the filter, should I rub Jack's o-ring lube on the mating serface on the union plastic ball and socket?

    Hayward PowerFlo Matrix motor mount rust

    I have a 4 year old Hayward PowerFlo Matrix SP15932S pump with severe rusting of the motor mount that connects it to the base. It appears that the mount is permanately connected to the motor housing and not replaceable. Has anyone else experienced this or have any solutions?

    Replacing upper connecting plate on an 18x33 oval pool.

    I recently noticed that I have rusting on the upper connecting plates that the railings are screwed to. Do I have to drain or partially drain the pool to replace these or is the wall stiffness enough to maintain stability if I replace them one at a time?

    Why such a high price for Hayward replacement T-cells?

    I cannot believe how high the cost of Hayward T-cell replacements are. When I bought the Aquatrol back in 2016 , the whole system with control box and T-cell was $455 from Amazon. Now just the replacement T-cells are over $500 ! Why the dramatic price increase in just 6 years !!

    Hayward H200FD pool heater not working

    Just opened up my 18x33 above ground pool. After everything was connected and the pump operating, I turned on the Hayward heater. It would turn on briefly with no gas ignition and cycle off and on a few times and shut off with the error code IF (ignition failure). I tried all the trouble...

    Before and After

    Three years ago my 30 year pool bit the dust so I got a new one. When the original pool was installed, I built the deck around it. The new pool buttresses interfered with the existing cement footings and the pool had to be repositioned 18 inches away from the side part of the deck causing me to...

    aquabot junior

    Hi, I have an aquabot junior that I have been using for about three years in my 18x33 above ground vinyl pool. This year I had to patch two holes in the liner on the lower wall right where the pool walls are joined and bolted together. I suspect that the installers did not adequately cover that...

    Just had a new 18x33 above ground pool installed. My 30 year pool bit the dust this winter. Since I am starting from scratch with the water, I had to get some salt since I have a SWG system. I chose Morton Pool Salt due to the brand name and the claim on the package that it is high purity, fast...
