are there two lines that run to the two holes in the skimmer? or is it the same line a just joined somewhere? I am a little confused in how what you are suggesting would tell me if the drain was plugged.

so one little follow up, when I try to plug the skimmer hole that feeds the pump and use the clog buster at the pump going back to the pool, the clog buster just shoots back out like there is too much pressure

First, let me say I love this forum as it has gotten my pool sparkling clean using the BBB method. Well that was until I started experiencing problems with my hayward de 4820 filter and a possibly clogged main drain. My setup includes a caretaker 99 system, skimmer, and two main drains, and the...

so a quick update... No where in any of the advertising do they say what the cover of the manualbsays which is do not submerge more than 3 ft below water. Well of course ignored that rec and it seemed to work okay. Like all the normal review the head doesn't lock worth a Crud so that gets a...

I must have put it back right. Its working like a charm. No more leaking!

okay, got it off. thank god for giant channel locks. no I did something stupid and lost track of which way the springy seal goes. does the flat metal go against the impeler or against the shaft/

I sure could use some help. I can't seem to get part number 8 off to access the pump seal. I have vice grips holding the shaft in place but I can't get it to budge

So my Hayward Super II Pump is leaking from a hole near the motor end of the pump or where the motor mounts to #13 in the figure. Its hard to tell since its on the bottom. I replaced the housing gasket #5 and that didn't fix it. The impeller ring (#7) is sloppy and there isn't a gasket, just a...

I have this (http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-NPS1018-Cordless-Electric/dp/B000NJQ73M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1273179089&sr=8-1) on the way to help fight my black algae problem. Not sure if anyone has one but I'll be sure to post how well it works (if at all). I'm just to lazy to...

I was able to dig through Haywards manuals and find these cheat sheets for the Astrolight and ColorLogic Lights versus Niches.

I'll have to measure when I get home but I would say about 3-4" in diameter. It had the 250W, 120V halogen bulb which did a decent job lighting the pool. Its in the deep end and the shallow end def. and bench had dark spots.

I am also starting to think that maybe this niche is supposed to be used for a spa? and it is installed in my pool?

My Hayward SP59HSL light has taken a dive. The white insulator around where the halogen light plugs in is deteriorated to the point it no longer holds the bulb in. I have only been able to find this particular light at a couple of online vendors but was wondering if there were other Hayward...

It will not allow me to update .xlsx files and regular .xls doesn't support all the conditional formatting it uses. I renamed to .txt to upload, download and rename to .xlsx and see if it works

Sorry, thought it attached

I created a very simple ss to track pool conditions based on the recommended levels in pool school. It also color codes the cells in your out of range based on whether you have an algae problem or not. I used 50 ppm cause I am currently battling black algae again. The charts tab also plots your...

I see your in Indiana so I assume you get everything from a farm store! :-D Just kidding, thanks for all your help.

by autoparts store I meant home improvement store, multitasking no working so well for me today

Very good point, it does not go to zero. Are they just standard pressure gauges you can get at like an autoparts store?

Probably going on 10 years old. It registers a pressure change so I know when to backwash but it just seems really high.

I have an old Hayward 1.5HP Superpump, 2" plumbing, and a Hayward 4820 DE filter with a cartaker system with 1.5"? plumbing. My baseline pressure with clean filters and new DE is around 28 psi. This seems awful high compared to most recommendations on this fantastic forum. Does this pressure...

OKay here are todays results. FC=16 CC=0 ph=7.2 (I read to lower it to help kill algae) T/A=120 CH=150 CYA=30 Temp=80 When I left this morning for work the FC=34. It dropped that much in 9 hours. I added another 4 - 174 oz jugs to raise it to 40 according to the pool calculator and so now I...

Oops, files must have been too big

Slowly but surely its coming together.
