    Why aren't my jets pumping correctly?

    Let me clean it again today and I will report back a little later. Last time I cleaned it was about a month ago. I'm sure it's due for a cleaning b/c the pool has had pollen and leaves in it. I guess that is something I need to do more often.

    Why aren't my jets pumping correctly?

    Information: - Pool is 16x32. 4''ish up front and 8' in deep end - Hayward c1200 filter - Hayward SP3400VSP My pool does circulate water, but it doesn't seem to have enough pressure to make the jets throw water as hard as it should. As a result I can't run my pool cleaner b/c it doesn't...

    Crack in steps causing water to leak a lot

    I have a crack in the steps that is about 4-5" wide. I ordered some florescent dye to try to find where it was leaking and that's the only area I can find. As soon as I put it near that crack it gets sucked in right away. The pool is vinyl, but the steps are fiberglass (I'm assuming)...

    New Hayward SP3400VSP not priming

    The repair people came today and replaced the drive (motor?). The pump is up and working again. Nothing else was wrong but that. It's frustrating that I pretty much had problems from the beginning with this pump and two weeks later it pretty much failed on me, but I will applaud Hayward...

    New Hayward SP3400VSP not priming

    I appreciate the response. Both my pump and pool filter I bought are from Hayward, so this makes me happy I stayed with Hayward. I changed the settings to 3 minutes and it still does not work. Here is a small video I recorded to show what I'm getting. Link to video. This was...

    New Hayward SP3400VSP not priming

    I had my brother in law help me install a Hayward SP3400VSP at my house. The old pump was only 115v, so we had to run a new line and got the new pump running fine. After hooking it up I noticed it worked fine the first night or two, but after that it wasn't running. I went to check it out...

    Get new pool pump or fix current one that leaks?

    I'll most likely get a 2 speed at least. I'm not gonna lie, I don't know much about pumps and I guess efficiency kind of works like this: Single < 2 speed < variable ? 2 speed will probably be my lowest one I buy, but I think I have seen single eco models. Hello neighbor! That does look...

    Get new pool pump or fix current one that leaks?

    That's what I'm worried about. I'll have to give it a good look and see if I can find anywhere else that is leaking. I just have to figure something out soon because the pump is losing so much pressure that I can't even run my creepy crawly. I'm leaning towards just buying the new pool...

    Get new pool pump or fix current one that leaks?

    The tank body on my pool pump is leaking. It's only one area that I've noticed, but it leaks quite a bit. I'm going to do some research and see if there is anything to try to fix that, but if not, I'm wondering if I should fix it or just get a new eco one that will potentially save me...

    Can I run pool without filter? As in temp. eliminating filter for a few days?

    Well, I ordered the replacement and got it, but haven't installed it yet. The only reason I haven't done so yet is because my brother in law said he would give me one for free. He came and dropped it off today and it's a Big Bubba Filter BBH-150. I'm hoping it's a good one (looks nice)...

    Can I run pool without filter? As in temp. eliminating filter for a few days?

    Thanks guys. Took about 10 minutes to hack off the pvc pipes connected to the filter, then to prime, glue and install the new 1 1/2" pvc pipe. Works great right now. I just hope I did enough to keep the water from turning real green on me. I'm definitely going to have to look into the...

    Can I run pool without filter? As in temp. eliminating filter for a few days?

    Where I connect the tie rod to screw down my Hayward c1200 filter, the bottom screw area is stripped. I couldn't get it to screw down at all, so my pool has been down for a day now. I have had this pool for almost 3 years now (bought house with pool 3 years ago anyways), but I never ran...
