I have decided to just buy a new pump since this one is quite old. no point in repairing it and going through the hassle. There seems to be several different models for Hayward Tristar VS. Which one should I get? Where should I get it from? Will I need to order any accessories with it? Should...

I do have 2 pumps that I use it on the pool cover in winter. Can this help?

oh thanks for your reply. This is my major concern. I am not able to spend enough time to research since I don't want to get my pool turn green for not taking care of it. About the sump pump, can you please send me a link for something reasonable? Do I have to install anything?

Will Hayward deliver and install it as well in a reasonable time? What pump should I go for as a replacement? how much $$$ is this going to cost me?

Based on what I understand from some reading my pump is April 2013. Can I still call Hayward or should I call local pool store?

OK I found the serial number. Here is the attached picture.

I took pictures of every label on the pump. One of the picture I posted shows some number. Is that the serial number? If not, how do I find it?

Thanks for your quick reply. I do not know how old is it. I live in my house since 3 years. I will try to to turn the breakers off and see if it help. I am really not handy at all. What is automation? where can I read more about it?

I am attaching some pictures that shows the specs of the pump.

My pump does not start. I see the "Drive Error. Pump has stalled" message on the display. It is a "Hayward" pump. What do I do? What could be wrong? Who should I call to take a look at this and fix it?

Is it safe to use the smart stirrer (the X piece) in all the tests that this test kit can do?

What are the effects of low pH or high pH with respect to swimming in the pool and maintaining overall water chemistry? I noticed my reading showing high pH at this time. What causes this? What is the best way to fix it? pH = 8.2 ALK = 80

If your CYA is at 80 and if you need to SLAM, you would need to maintain FC of around 31. Wouldn't this be very expensive?

What is the best CYA number to have to be most economical? I ask this because my understanding is that if this is too low then FC does not work, if it is too high then you need more FC to do its job. What is the ideal number? Is it a good idea to maintain the ideal number? I mean lets say, you...

I don't feel confident about my CYA test. I keep second guessing what I am seeing with respect to the "black dot" Has anyone been through this? How do I test this more confidently?

So it seems like I can stop the SLAM process now. I have a few questions: 1) Once the SLAM process is stopped. How do you continue the process of maintaining FC and other chemicals. What is recommended? How often to test what? What levels to bring FC to? 2) What if you continue to maintain the...

I want to thank everyone once again....I have never seen my pool so clean and clear before like I see it right now.

Will sure do. Thank you. Nothing wrong with swimming in the pool while SLAM process is ongoing right? what is considered safe FC levels for swimming? How much is considered too low? how much is considered too hight? Also......is there some page where I can read about safe levels for all the...

Just tested the water. I had 10.5 FC and 0 CC. I little dip in FC might be due my not using the smart stir properly. But I did put 1 Gallon of LC right now to raise it to around 15. Will keep measuring throughout the day. I strongly believe, I will be fine tomorrow morning.

LOL. Thanks. Now I know!! I had no clue until now what that "X" shaped piece was for.

OH NO! I feel stupid now!!! Thanks for the picture. I saw that by had no idea until just now what it was for. I just used it and now I know!!! LOL

I noticed something when using the smart stir as opposed to just manually swirling/shaking. Any thoughts? With smart stir....the liquid ends up being a lot more cloudy as compared to when just manually swirling. Is this just a co-incidence or there might be something to do this. With smart...

What do you mean by "bean"?

Anybody uses the Smart Stir that comes with the TF-100 Pro Smart Stir kit? Any videos explaining how does this work? I inserted the batteries and I see the 2 Buttons. 1 of them flashes nice white light and the other 1 not so much. I thought I would see/hear/feel some kind of vibrations or...

Thanks for the message. I have adjustment things in such a way that SPA water is circulated continuously. I did this by shutting the drains from it 100% while waters keeps returning to it and spills over in the pool.

Tested at 9:40am. The FC was around 15.5. I did not add any LQ.
