Pool Size: 24,000 Gal Filter: Hayward DE 4800 Pump: Hayward (old) Heater: Raypak 337 Hello, I just had a Raypak 337 (333 BTU) heater installed on my pool. Prior to the installation, my pool pressure was usually 15-18 psi, and I normally backwashed at 25 psi. After having the heater...

I see online that there are less complaints with the Raypaks. Question . . . I see the Pentair is designed to prevent spiders from damaging the elements because they are fully enclosed. Is anyone know if spiders are able to access the Raypak elements. I live in Southern California and we have...

Curious if anyone has a good opinion on the better of the two heaters to get installed on a 24K inground pool. Looking at either the Raypak Lo-nox vs Pentair Mastertemp. I see the Raypak goes around $1850 vs $1750 for the 300 btu Pentair. PS. . . I live in California, and my pool equipment is...

Thank you for all comments. I have asked 3 pool stores and 2 pool service men I know and the consensus is 4 Raypak vs 1 Hayward. Raypak is the way I am going to go, thanks. Waiting for my gas company to stop by and check my gas connection to check on the gas line size to order the largest...

Curious if anyone has a preference on these two pool heater brands. Which one is better for heating a 24,000 in-ground pool. I do see Raypak is generally $200 more than a Hayward.

Hello, I am a newbie with pools. My original Hayward DE4800 pool filter 48 sq ft. (no idea how old it is, guessing 6+ years old) casing cracked spewing water everywhere. Was lucky to find a replacement Top and Bottom housing unit on Ebay (Hayward no longer makes nor sells this model). I...

Re: HIGH PRESSURE after cleaning DE FILTER - POOL CLOUDY GRE Thanks everyone for your assistance and support. I feel so stupid in the amount of money i wasted on the pool when I could have so easily fixed it for so much cheaper. It is so nice to have a clear pool now after 2 months of having...

Re: HIGH PRESSURE after cleaning DE FILTER - POOL CLOUDY GRE Thank you. Today the pressure dropped down to about 20 PSI. The Pool School was educational. My biggest issue was I would take care of the pool on the weekends but ignore on the weekdays and the algea would return (FIRST MISTAKE)...

Hello, I have no idea what is going on with my pool. Any help would be appreciated. Spending a fortune on my pool with no improvements. I own a 26,000 Gal Pool with a large Haward DE Filter. The pool has been perfectly clean for 3 years, but we have a new baby and ignored the pool, not...

You know whats weird, one of my friends just told me to unplug the kreepy crawler from the skimmer hole, and it will suck in all the bugs and junk on the surface of the water. However it seems the hole is so low in the water that it cant build enough suction to pull any of the surface junk into...

Hello, I just moved into a new home with a pool. The pool all ready has a kreepy crawler, but there are always tons of bugs and leaves floating at the top of the pool. What can I do to stop this without constantly hand skimming the pool. My pool is about 15,000 gal. It has a simple hayward...
