I have an Intermatic Timing Control Center model T30004R and the timer is kaput. Hasn't worked since I bought the house a couple of years ago. I'm just now getting around to replacing it, or should I say THINKING about replacing it. What do youse recommend I swap it with? Can I use one of their...

So I've got iron stains. I am purchasing "Pool Mate Mineral Out and Stain Remover" from Amazon. Instructions say that I should let the chlorine levels fall to ZERO so I have the pool running during the day, the chlorinator in the off position and the slide running water to help. I had shocked...

I'm about to call Marina as well. Mine doesn't seem to have the suction of my older Aquabot turbo T. It wouldn't pickup a good deal of the dirt on the bottom of the pool even after guiding it there with the remote. Wouldn't even stir it up. I borrowed the old Aquabot back from my parent's house...

To be honest, so far me and wifey are slightly underwhelmed. It seems to not do so great picking up larger debris such as leaves and small stones, which our old robot did very well. I think our old Aquabot Turbo T2 worked better. Going to give it another week or so.

Called Marina Pools. They said to wait and see once the pool is clear and balanced. We'll see.

I've had my dolphin s300 for about a week now working in the pool and I keep getting impeller #1 error codes. Also, I have yet to see it climb the walls. I assume it's because te walls are dirty or something but my pool is looking much better now. Could these be related?! Anyone else having...

Found it! Lathered shaving cream all over it and a pinhole appeared near one of the seals. Took it apart, reteflontaped it, lube, and retighten. No bubbles!

It's a Hayward Variflo Valve

1. Yes. We had it last year but it stopped and now has re-emerged. 2. Hayward Superpump with 1HP century motor. 3 I think it's a multiport valve. I'll check for the make and model when I get home.

Might be worthy to mention that I just replaced the pool pump's motor. I was going to replace the seals as well, but Amazon sent me the wrong seals. Had to reuse the old ones for now.

I think I have a suction side air leak. I have air in the basket of my Super Pump and low flow. Basket has large visible bubbles within a minute or two of starting the pump and is half empty within 15-20 minutes. I've checked all the usual culprits with incense, water, and cellphane with no...

Found the right pump, but what about upgrading to a 1.5 hp? It's not much more, is it worth it?

Upon further inspection Hayward uses an AO Smith motor which is apparently now rebranded century. Carry on.

Oh I'm with you. Already looking at replacement motors. Inyopool suggests an AO smith motor. Trying to find a matching Hayward motor for a good price.

Yea I think so too. I was trying to figure out how old this thing is based on the serial number. Any idea how that works?
