    Puzzling Hayward heater troubleshooting

    With a milivolt system it is important to keep all wire connectors clean and free of corrosion. I usually replace corroded connections each time I open the pool for the year. My heater is a 1994 and still works great. Never bypass safeties...

    Ok the one I found would not work as the connection to the copper line was different so i just took the good switch off the new one and screwed it to the old one.

    Pressure switch for 150,000 btu 90s heater (Millivolt)

    It is the electrical part of the switch. I think the tab broke off for the wire. I will have to look into it tonight.

    Pressure switch for 150,000 btu 90s heater (Millivolt)

    Hey guys I was sticker shocked when I researched a new pressure switch for my heater. I saw prices over $100. My question is, is there a cheaper alternative to use in my application?? The part number of the original switch is EE05-Q11. Thanks in advance!

    Pump To Waste

    I just remove the drain plug at the bottom of mine and run. It shoots the water out at a high rate. I may even this year add a valve to this and eliminate the cap all together. You can also take the filter out before doing this. When I re-plumb with PVC this year I am adding a shut off to...

    And I love that walkway to the deck, keeps grass and other stuff out of the pool. Fill the bottom half of that with gravel for drainage.

    solar cover question

    I have this one on a 21' pool.. http://www.shoplitehouse.com/store/prod ... %27-Pools/ LOOOOVE it, better than lugging the cover on and off. Before this I cut my cover in half which made it easier to move, but didnt eliminate the clippings and other stuff that it put back into the pool.

    Heating my Above Ground Pool

    I don't understand the need for a 400,000 btu heater on an 18 ft pool?? I have a 21 ft round and heat with a 150,000 BTU heater. It does quite well. Gas bills are nuts, but that is part of the price I guess. You could look around EBay as well as Craigslist for a used heater. Mine is like 12...

    Above Ground Solar Cover Reel

    To swing it u just pull the pins and leave 1 end in. Pick up the other and move it. Mine has the 3 inch pole. It sags a little. I think with the 4 inch tube it would be better.

    Above Ground Solar Cover Reel

    Thats the one I have!! I love it just for the fact that it is easier than folding the cover like we used to do. I can take it completely off or simply swing it away to 1 side of the pool.
