    The hose that's supplying water to the tail probably came loose.

    Dolphin S200-questions

    Opened the pool today. Some sludge and worms on the bottom. I noticed the unit would only be able to make a few passes before not being able to climb up the walls and after a bit out of the deep end. Seems when the basket gets full its too heavy to move. Could this be the case? This unit...

    How do I apply algaecide and can I shock at the same time too?

    We have some algae, green and black in our pool. I bought 2 quarts of liquid 60 algaecide and box of bags of shock. Do I just pour the algaecide into the the pool around the perimeter? Put it in the skimmers? What's the best method? After the algaecide is in can I shock it or should I wait...

    Just opened up and unboxed our Dolphin S200-Questions

    Opened the pool last weekend and our old Polaris 380 suction style vacuum needed the semi-annual $100.00 in parts and hour or so of repair that I've taken care of over the years. Usually this occurs at the beginning and middle/late pool season here in NJ. I have to say this vacuum has been...

    Hayward 500lb sand filter leak

    We have a Hayward pro series 500 lb sand filter. Had the sand and laterals changed out 2 or 3 weeks ago. Now there is a split on the seem that runs the length of the filter, top to bottom that's spewing water. It's a 15 year old unit. I'm thinking the people that changed out the sand had...

    Second issue with our Hayward H400ED2 pool heater

    **UPDATE** I back washed and rinsed 4 or 5 inches out of our nearly 30,000 pool this past hour and the heater works. Back washed 3 separate times before dumping the last big amount out. Anyway it's working. We had a bad wind storm a few days ago that loaded the the pool with pine needles and...

    Second issue with our Hayward H400ED2 pool heater

    Our first issue with this unit I resolved 2 weeks ago or so with the help of you folks here. I was getting an IF code and wound up replacing the damaged igniter, that didn't do the trick so I bought a new control panel from Pool zoom and it worked like a brand new unit, until today. I didn't...

    Hayward H400 IF, What I did today and it still isn't working.

    It doesn't wiggle. I guess I have to spring for a board. Thanks again for the help. Bob

    Hayward H400 IF, What I did today and it still isn't working.

    OK Thanks Paul. How would I know if the soldered contacts or the board itself is the culprit?

    Hayward H400 IF, What I did today and it still isn't working.

    Ok, this may be a bit long but I just want to describe everything. A few days ago the pump motor was leaking that goes into the skimmer basket before the filter and heater. I took the motor off and had all of the seals replaced and I put on new gaskets as well. The heater was working great at...
