    Any way to backwash without turning the pump off?

    Ahh...looks like I was looking at the wrong manual, which is why I couldn't figure out how to get into the config settings for the pump. I was looking here; http://www.hayward-pool.com/pdf/manuals/maxflo-vs-S2303VSP.pdf Thx for the help folks, I think I'm off to the races now.

    Any way to backwash without turning the pump off?

    Hey guys, me again...so I guess when I wanna backwash, my only speed option is prime (or full blast)? I guess this is the only option, since when I turn the pump off to switch the sand filter setting to backwash, and then turn the pump back on, it automatically starts on prime...right?

    Any way to backwash without turning the pump off?

    Hello. I just got a new Hayward 2303vsp pump installed, and it's working great. The only thing I've noticed is that anytime you 'pause/resume' the pump, say to do a backwash, it always goes into an 8 minute priming session, where it runs at full speed for 8 minutes before gong back to its...

    New pump recommendation - need something quieter, more efficient

    Thx Matt. I'm starting to wonder if this is something I should just tell the installer to handle. We paid a lot of money for the pool last year, you would think this would be something he should have known.

    New pump recommendation - need something quieter, more efficient

    I don't suppose you'd be able to suggest some model numbers, would you? It seems like each company makes a ton of different ones, I'm not really sure which ones I should be looking at. Another thread on the forum mentions the Hayward SuperPump 1 HP uprated SP2607X102S, but it only seems to be a...

    Newbie trying to open pool - sand filter gauge seems stuck

    I just bought one of these gauges, and noticed that it says its freeze protected down to -4º F. It gets colder than that here in Ottawa on a regular basis in the winter. Should I just play it safe, and take it out and bring it in the house and store it in the basement during the winter? I do...

    New pump recommendation - need something quieter, more efficient

    Hello. Last year we had our 24' Radiant Metric pool installed by the only pool company in our area who is authorized to sell/install them. Overall it was a great experience, but on the support side of things these guys are awful. Anyway, it seems as though they installed the cheapest pump they...

    Newbie trying to open pool - sand filter gauge seems stuck

    Awesome, thx for the quick response, I really appreciate it. Am I OK to run the pump while I track one of these down and get it installed?

    Newbie trying to open pool - sand filter gauge seems stuck

    Hello. We put our pool in mid summer last year, so this is my first time attempting to open it. Everything seems to be going well, water is nice and clear. Filled it, got the pump and everything up and running, put some super shock in it and thought I was golden. I had a quick look at the...
