Yeah, I let the air pressure out the top and opened the bottom part to let the water flow out before attempting to remove the top. I found the number for Hayward support. I will try them out tomorrow. Thanks!

Hello, I have a Hayward pool filter enclosure just like this one. However the top will not come off! I can turn it and turn it, but it eventually gets to a point where every full rotation of the top handle, it makes a "clunk" noise and makes no further progress coming off. Also, if I look at...

Thanks again guys for all the advice! This morning I tried to test all the main things, here are the numbers I got. FC = 26.5 CC = 0 PH = 7 TA = 80 CH = 500 CYA = 30 The CC test was supposed to turn a pink when adding the regent according to the instructions, but it turned yellow. I guess...

Thanks guys. I'll get a set of numbers and post them. It may be hard to get a good FC and CC reading, hopefully I have enough R-0871 to get the sample colorless! ;)

Hey guys, First time home owner and pool owner! When I first moved in, pool was green. Followed the pool stores advice, which meant throwing a bunch of shock, algaecide and clarifier at the pool. It did actually end up clearing the green out, but left the pool very cloudy. Fast forward a...
