Well its not the temperature as much as the drying out of something that is constantly wet. The high temperature, drying it out completely the rubber wheels, gaskets, and plastic.

I bought a tune up kit for mine and it runs like a champ now...

My Polaris P39 lives in the pool 24/7. So its 106 degrees today and some people are coming over to swim. I disconnected it and took it out of the pool and put it in the shade. But it's still 106 out there and will be completely dried out by the time I put it back in. Does this damage the Pool...

So I installed a new Hayward S310 and Multi-port valve this week. My pool was full of dirt from not having a filter for a month. I've got most of it cleared out. My starting pressure is 20psi and will rise to 30psi within an hour or so. But if I shut it off and back on again, the pressure goes...

I had considered that but being that the pipe is 27" high, I don't think I would get much lateral support from that. It shakes in all directions.

Thanks!

That's a great idea! I'll figure out a was to secure it to the concrete and I should be good. Thanks

the pump is bolted into the concrete. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a way to support that pipe but the problem is, its way up in the air. see pic.

After I installed my new sand filter and installed an all new pipe system, I feel I must have done something wrong because if you watch the video, you’ll see the scary movements of my pipes when I turn on the pump. Is it the height, the long distance, the elbow configuration? I think it’s going...

Well the only thing that leaked was the stupid drain plug.

I got those unions you recommended and they fit just fine side by side at the valve. I posted pics in an update above. Thank you very much

UPDATE So I had to improvise a few things from my original plumming design. Everything is connected but I ran out of daylight so I'll start it up in the morning. Feed back is always welcome. If you see something I did wrong, please tell me LOL.

Unboxing my side mount 30” Hayward sand filter today and I noticed something odd. The laterals manifold is angled (see pic) One side of the laterals are almost touching the tank. Is this a problem? If it is, how do I fix it?

I'm confused, I'm I supposed to use a threaded male union straight into the valve? I just watched an install video where they said to use a threaded union and NOT to use a threaded male adapter. Is this true and if it is, where do I find them? If I use a threaded adapter with thread sealant, is...

I ordered the one on the right, should i have ordered the one on the left? the other one looks a lot narrower.

It is 2' and I noticed they were very close to each other. I ordered these from SupplyHouse I hope they fit.

Plumbing in the concrete has been like that for 40 yrs. Leaving that alone. I'l only replacing the PVC to copper adapter so its all good. Where would i put unions? 2 questions. 1- The treaded adapters at the pump and valve, are they standard threads? 2- Is the distance between pump and filter a...

I'm replacing my old DE filter with a new sand filter and I have to redo everything because the new one is to big to fit on the pad. I'm a 3D artist so I decided to throw this image together to help me figure it out. The 3D model is measured accurately. In the corner you can see what i'm...

LOL I just realized that I typed Zero instead of Zeo in the title of this post.

Thanks, I think I'm going to go with good ol sand. I don't need more headaches. Between the stuff that falls from the trees to the 3 ducks that Crud in it all day, I need a filter that I know is going to work right. I'll be getting the sand from Leslies. The sand they sell is called "AquaQuartz...

Hi, New guy here. I'm replacing a DE filter with a new 30" Hayward side mount filter. Its in the backyard still in the box. I haven't bought the media yet. I'm used to a DE filter quality water but I'm sick of the hassle and costs that go with it. I'm worried the sand isn't going to clean my...
