    Changing Hayward ProGrid Filter to a SwimClear Cartridge Filter?

    Has anyone here done this? Just a quick search on the Hayward site it looks like the exact same enclosure for my ProGrid as for the SwimClear Multi-Element filter. So what I am wondering is, is it just as 'simple' as swapping out the manifold? Does everything else line up inside from the ProGrid...

    Finally reopened our pool after not using for 2 seasons...

    of course we had to replace equipment. New Pump (replaced Hayward original 2HP pump with a Harris 1.5HP) because there was a crack in the housing and it was at least 8 years old.

    Skimmer sock - all the time or just occassionally?

    I know this is an old thread.... How do these socks work with baskets that have built-in handles? If you put the sock over the top, you lose the use of the handle, am I right?

    Need a salt test?

    So then, how quickly should I be losing salt? Very often we will get salt up to 3200, and within a couple of days back down to 2700. According to the SWG readings.

    Need a salt test?

    We have an aqualogic P4 that shows us the salt level (granted it might take a couple of hours for the salt level to update) should we still get a salt tester kit?
