Hi, pool design looks great. Just wondering if the pool is swap enough for diving off the side. I get the benefit of using more of the pool without a deal end, but my kids and some adults still jump and dive and I don't think 5 feet would be deep enough. Thought I was share. Best of luck...

The issue I was having was a result of low flow. I had recently installed an intelliflow pump and was running is too slow. It was screwing up the heat pump. Once I increased the flow everything works fine.

For some reason when I opened my pool this year it stayed cloudy longer then expected. I just put some clarifier or something like that in and it was clear the next day. No issues in the 2 months since. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, my pump is down which means my salt chlorination is down too. Repair is scheduled for mid next week. My question is do you think I need to do more then adding bleach as needed to keep chlorine at the right level and run my Aquabot turbo T for 7 hours a day to keep things under control...

My pool doesn't overflow but I don't believe I have any pipe to allow this. I just assumed I had a hole in my liner somewhere above my skimmer that keeps the water from reaching the top. I haven't seen any downside to the hole in the liner method so far. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi, Having problems with my heat pump. It has been cycling on and off. Even though the setting would keep it on it turns off after about 5 minutes. Then about 5 minutes later it turns on again. Over and Over. There was no condensation coming out of the bottom even though this was going...

How much would the leak detection company charge of they didn't find a leak? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Searched the Hayward website. According to them "Hayward heat pumps have a flow rate range of 30 to 70 GPM, with an optimum flow rate of 45 GPM." Good to know.

My heat pump indicates the flow can be as low as 30gpm. Is there any data on what the most efficient flow rate should be for a heat pump pro? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reset the pump and started over. Works fine now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have new pump installed and am trying to set it up as follows Time Flow Purpose -------------- ------- ------------- 1am - 1pm 17gpm filtering / SWG 1pm - 5pm 35gpm Additional purpose - Increase flow so...

I was hoping that was the issue too. Did check on not this issue which is why I thought maybe when I turned to multi port to off prior to cleaning maybe it got screwed up inside and needs to be repaired. May try to open it up to see what it looks like in there.

I cleaned my filter a week or so ago (which I have done at least 50 times now since I had the pool). This includes opening the filter, removing the manifold and spraying the grids to remove dirt and DE. Put it back together and add DE as have done in the past.....next day DE all over the pool...

Hi, wondering if anyone has replaced / installed a temp sensor Hpx2169 to determine if it is a DIY job or if a Pro is needed. I couldn't find any installation instructions anywhere so I thought I would post. Thanks in advance for any help.
