"How to modify Pool Pump Lid" video is so cool. I will attempt that next year.. Thank you so much for sharing I was able to access the returns from the pipe coming out of heater ( highlighter 4 )... Hopefully everything is winterized correctly. One last question. do I need to do anything...

I did get the cyclone to close the pool. Sound like your suggestion will work and I appreciate it very much. But I will be very nervous trying it considering my first time. If nobody else has any other suggestion on how to blow return separately I will try out your suggestion.

Hello All. After 10 years I am taking the courage of closing the pool for winter myself ( live in MN ). I watched my neighbor closed his pool. My first surprise is how to blow the returns. ( neighbor was able to do it from the pipe going into the sand filter because it was removable for him...

I was finally able to figure out the root cause of the high pressure. Culprit was very small debris in the salt dispensing equipment ( I don't use it so never paid attention to it .......attached the pic ). Now the suction is good. 4 Returns have very good flow ( except one has decent flow...

I ran the pump without the filter Cartridge's and pressure is same around 26 PSI

07/10 . New Pressure Guage Results Pump Running : - Regular flow and the pressure is still 24 and going up to 28 PSI. So I think Old pressure guage is ok Pump Running with Backwash : - the pressure drops to 0 which solves one mystery and the reason is not the pressure guage. I had a drain pipe...

To clarify when - Pump is completely shut off. pressure drops to zero - Pump running - water goes through the filter with cartridges' inside then pressure is 25 - 28 PSI - Pump running - filter is bypassed and water is drained out ( backwash if I can use this word, even though its not sand filer...

Opps, I can get the new pressure gauge. Does the one suggested fits my kind of hayward filter ? what about the low returns pressure and low skimmer suction

Hi Casey/JohnT, I have attached the latest pic of the pool mechanical setup. All valves are at 90 I have not been running the pump regularly because I just think 29 PSI is too high. But the water is ok. I have attached the pic as well 07/09 update : - I turned on the pump and the reading was 25...
