I am closing my pool and notice dirt particles coming from my returns. Long short 3 of my grids have small holes. I plan to try to make a repair and use a t shirt and crazy glue it over the less than 2" hole's. this is a temporary repair of course unless it works real well. :) Any...

Thanks for the quick reply. It is cement based grout. This was the way Anthony & Sylvan the company that built my pool did the tile work.

The grout is falling out between my coping and tile in a about a 20 foot section of my pool. My decking is pavers. Is there any problems this can cause with water getting in there and lifting the coping? I feel that any water that gets in there will not stay since I have pavers and my soil is...

Suggestions 1. When you tap on an item for instance PH. General information on what this does. If it’s too high this happens, if it’s too low this happens, it’s more important with a liner pool compared to a concrete pool etc. etc. etc. 2. The ability to graph your logs over variable times...

My PH also increase so I am constantly lowering it, TA is also on the high side last check was 110. My CH is always very low, last check was 250. I don't notice any other problems beside this and this has been like this for many many years. I am just servicing the light and noticed that it is...

I have this whiteish building on the stainless ring for the SAM light. It will scrap off if I try very had with a finger nail. is this a chemistry problem, hardness?

The grout between my coping and tile is cracking in about 30% of my pool at the shallow end. Besides the aesthetics will this cause any other damage to the pool or the coping that I need to make the repair as soon as possible? I was reading another thread about four years ago that I did not...

The housing near the drain plug on my Waterway SVL5 Pump is chipped and leaking water. I temporarily fixed with with teflon tape. A few years ago I replaced the motor with a 2 speed A.O. Smith B983 high efficiency. I am very happy with the way it performs. So I need a recommendation on a new...

In my limited experience hayward is generous with the warranty. I have no experience with a variable pump for a pool but in my opinion with variable motors and drives, they are expensive and more prone to fail. stick with the tried and true regular ac motor. I purchased a green two speed 3...

I have been using Pool Calc for years and seen that is hasn't been updated and was wondering it there is a better app?

It turned out to be the Motor. This was for a friend and they called a pool company and they determined right away that it was a bad motor. I didn't want to take the chance since the measly motor was around $200 or more and didn't want to steer a friend wrong. Suck on the vacuum switch switch...

I pulled the motor from the housing and had no suction at the hose fitting mounted on the motor. I could blow air with my mouth in the fitting and there was "0" restriction. Someone told me this motor should really spin and make a decent amount of noise, a desk fan has much more air flow than...

Hi, I am getting an AO error on a friends Hayward Gas heater. The heater blower vacuum switch (rss-495-061) seems to work when I suck very lightly on it (when I do this the error instantly goes away) There is not any noticibly suction coming from the fitting on the blower (fan). The fitting...

I am interested in a flow meter, do they make them that will read less than 30 GPM?

Any opinions on Waterway Pumps? I am thinking of just getting some spare parts (impeller, what really goes bad on a pump, really no other moving parts but the seals) and keeping this pump. I want the AO Smith B2983 motor and can't find a pump that comes with this motor. From what I can tell...

So when my current one dies I have a speedy replacement. My last motor only lasted two seasons and died on a saturday night before a big party. I had to scramble to find a replacement.

I am looking to buy a spare motor for my pump or should I get a new pump and motor together? I want the most efficient 2 speed motor (i believe it's the AO Smith B2983). This motor is around $305. I currently have the Waterway SVL56. Is this a decent pump or is this the time to get...

So then 8*220=1760 watts at high and 3*220=660 at low Is this what you mean?

Wow, incredible analysis. I measured the draw at both speeds and at high speed I get 8.1A and low speed I get 3.00A

Wow 1/6 the power. Is there any reason why I would need to use the high speed? My Polaris with separate pump seems happy at the low speed. I measured the rotation according to the Polaris manual and its even on the high end. I know the Skimmers will not be the greatest but I am experimenting...

Ok, that's what I have a Hayward/Goldline. I'm going for a swimm now and will keep on eye on it. 95 degrees yesterday, and 90 today, I luv my pool.

I just installed a 2 speed motor for my pump. Since low runs at 1/2 speed of full could I expect the GPM would be pretty much exactly 1/2? Full speed the pressure at the filter is 18 psi compared to 2 psi at low. Since the pressure is not proportional could I say that at high speed the pump...

to clarify even more with the SWG. If it's set at 50% then 1/2 the time it will be off. Mine seems to run all the time, I assumed that 50% would run at 1/2 of the maximum or 1/2 power?

Does the SWCG create the bubbles, is this common?

I have a new pentair whisperflo pump and want to change the single speed motor to a dual speed. Plan to keep the same horse power 1.5, Generally speaking are all the whisper flo pumps the same but with different motors. Can anyone recommend a place to buy the new dual speed pump?

I am installing my new Pro Logic Automation System with includes a sub panel which is replacing my existing sub panel. It has a bond lug, does it get bonded? I have read that the electrical system does not get bonded only at the main panel, but since this is more than a sub panel and includes...

Thanks for those links. Amazingly I called my local Leslie Pools and they were able to order this for me at the internet prices, so that's what I did. Thanks much all.
