FIXED. So my bad and apparently it was pressure out of the filter (need to install a gauge). I spent 30 minutes running water down it and churning the sand with my hand. It was a mess. After reassembly and fixing a very small leak in a pipe, the heater fired right up and has stayed on. I...

Wow....great info guys! Thanks. Yes, I can feel movement on the valve when it's making the noise that seems to coincide. Could that be caused by incorrect pressure? As in I need to adjust and check with Manometer? Or is it more I need to replace the entire valve. It's this one...

Anyone? Need to sort this out. I bought a Manometer so will check pressure tomorrow.

I’ve had a Hayward H150FD heater running a few seasons now. It’s been stored inside during the winter and installed 3 months each summer. Recently it’s started to show “Lo” which usually is an issue with the water pressure or pressure switch. I’ve gone through all the troubleshooting in the...

Anyone? I already use a solar cover...that's not really what I'm asking about.

Howdy. My setup is below in the signature. I'm wondering how to schedule the pump/heater running. The last few years I've used an auto timer that turns both on at 6AM and off around 5PM. The heater only runs as necessary to maintain temp. I know this isn't optimal as each night the pool...

I started with a 12' Intex, then moved up to a 14'. I got sick of the Intex filters clogging and leaks everywhere so converted everything to in-ground hardware including the pump, sand filter, and heater. This is my 3rd year on this equipment and I upped the size again to 15'x48". It's...

All my my AGP equipment is designed for IGPs...

Problem solved! The 3 things I didn't think it would be....it was. I checked the pump drain plugs, cleaned and reseated them. Then I pulled the pressure gauge from the filter, cleaned and wrapped with new thread tape. System primed and is pumping! Thanks so much guys!

Yep...it self primes and no issues last 2 years. Both intakes (skimmer and one on the other side) are clear and full of water. I checked the drain plugs for tightness but those are the only 2 seals I didn't pull. Will do that next. Thanks.

The pump does need to pull it uphill 3' increase about 10' long...it's worked great for 2 years.
