    Hayward New AquaVac 650

    I just recently purchased this cleaner from Marina Pool Spa & Patio in Colorado. I thought I would leave my findings and reviews on this thread because I checked reviews and they weren't great, but were from 2019. I wanted something cool and modern with no filter bag, so I thought I would give...

    Hayward Pump Jandy Valve

    Hello guys, I am a newbie to the pool world. I have a hayward pump and the Jandy Valve seems to be pointing backwards (comparing to all the educational videos I have seen on youtube). Is this normal or should be fixed? should the handle of the valve be pointing towards the pump?

    Hayward H-200 Millivolt Running Erratically

    I was having trouble getting my heater going when I opened the pool for the season a few weeks ago. It was my first time opening the pool. A friend was able to help, so I’m confident I was following the right steps. I’ve owned the pool less than a year and the heater worked without issue for the...

    Hayward Acid Feeder Testing

    I replaced my Hayward AC-035 peristaltic chemical feed pump. The way it runs is the voltage relay within the Prologic system controls the power to it. If you plug it into a normal jack it runs constantly and continuously feeds acid into the pool. The problem I have is I plugged it into the...

    Hayward 400btu Heater starts and runs but not heating

    Hello, Opened pool up for the season yesterday and turned heater on today. It appears to light the blower is on and the flow is fine. It does not sound anywhere near as loud as it used to and the water returning back to the pool is at most 2゚ warmer. Any thoughts?

    Trying to clean filter first time, can't get it going again!

    My hubs left for a couple weeks - far away fishing, of all the nerve, and out of contact. Before he left, I cleaned (hosed down with the hose sprayer) the filter cartridge to get the hang of it under his tutelage, and today I've done it by myself. It's a Hayward C48D43A04 pump. I got...

    Hayward Aqua-Plus GLX-CELL-5 Not Creating Chlorine

    Recently my SWCG stopped producing chlorine. It’s less than a year old so I thought maybe it was dirty so I cleaned it although it looked very clean. I put it back in the system and it still didn't work. I then decided to clean it with an mild acid wash. Still no change. At that point I...

    Possible impeller problem

    My Hayward Super Pump (1 1/2 HP) began making a loud rattling noise very similar to cavitation (sounds like rocks in the impeller).
