A month ago I had a Raypak 106A propane pool heater installed. Purchase price was 1039.00 install with rent and full tank of propane was 993.00. So under 2000 Canadian. I have solar as well and a Sun touch controller with remote plug in. Our first 2 weeks were wet and cold, I kept the pool in...

Added a heater and a few potted palms this year. It's amazing what you can do with a small space!

Hi All, My new Raypak 106A has arrived. The propane install and hookup is scheduled for Monday. I would like to do all the plumbing today in advance. Is there any issue with running water through before there is gas? It says there is a built in by pass so the plumbing would be pretty basic...

Well I bit the bullet and ordered a propane heater for my little pool. I chose the Raypak 105000 btu.propane as my pool is only 9 x 18. I currently have solar so this will hopefully be the best of both worlds. I have read about tank sizing and understand that bigger is better but I am worried...

Hello All, I have found a used Hayward H 350(?) that the owner is asking 600 for. Its older but looks to be in good shape. See pic It is currently on propane but I would like to switch it to natural gas. Complet newbie at the heater thing so could use some help. Do you think it's worth it...

Hi All, My wife would like to add a spa to our backyard. I like the idea but I'm cheap:p Anyway a have a decent solar set up, a hard plumbed pool (AG 9 x 18) with a 3/4 HP pump and sand filter. It is automated. My thought was to add a heater after the solar and utilize the existing pump. I can...

Hi Guys, I'm hoping someone may have run into this before. My pump is scheduled to come on from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm. This morning the pump turned on and after about 15 minutes the actuator began to turn to send the water to the solar panels. It looks like it got about 1/2 way between then...

Hi Folks, Where would someone find a Pentair High Voltage relay for a Sun Touch? Any good Canadian suppliers? Thanks, R

It felt like a spring day out on the West Coast of Canada today. It got me thinking of the fun we had in our little pool last year. At the end of my first season I had levelled, installed, hard plumbed, built a deck, added a Hayward skimmer, installed a solar heater and a control for my 9 x 18...

Hi All, Now that the pool has been put up for winter I am putting my energies towards research for a 100-200000 btu propane heater. It seems like they all have some type of bad reviews. I was looking at a Hayward H series low nox 150...anybody have any thoughts? Thanks Rob

I would like to make a quick shout out to the sales and support staff at Hayward Pool Equipment. Sometimes all companies get to hear about is the complaints, I think that they should also be recognized when they go above and beyond for their customers. I have had an experience lately that has...

Hi All, I received my new to me Hayward Aqua Solar today and I can't seem to get it working. Here is what I have done so far. -Installed sensor on inlet pipe by pump. -put actuator on Jandy valve -wired Aqua Solar to GFIC circuit Sounds like I should pretty much be able to set it up from...

Admin please move to to correct area if need be. Hi All, I have installed my new solar panels and they seem to be working. I did however forget to turn off the valve the other night and lost a lot of heat. I do use a blanket but alas I still lost 5 deg. I have been reading about solar...

Hello all, Well I bit the bullet and ordered this from Amazon.ca 2-2 Garden I wanted Heliocoil but I couldn't afford it. I do get a lot of sun to my Southern roof exposure so I can retire my DIY. My pool was sitting at 74 at 7:30 this morning but is currently knocking on 80. This is just...

Hello, I thought I would throw a question out and see what the prevaling thought is. I currently have a 3/4 hp sand filter combo for my 9x18 pool. I have hard plumbed to pump with 1.5 pvc. My return is also 1.5 but I have a "T" to a 1/2 inch that goes to my roof. There is a ball valve above...

Hello all, I am just in the process of setting up my 9 X 18 Hydro Force pool. I wanted the 9 x 18 Intex but was unable to track one down. For four years we had a 12 x 20 in this same spot but we never prepped it properly and I had a 3 in difference from side to side . We never filled it over...
