    Replace discontinued mother board or upgrade?

    Oh I understand now. I though you were referring to the retrofit not the entire system replacement. To be honest I’ve kinda had it with Hayward. I’ve replaced more circuit boards than I can count. Service is terrible. I’ve had to replace almost everything with a Hayward sticker on it already...

    Replace discontinued mother board or upgrade?

    Plus it looks like there are many other model numbers and options and versions of the system online (likely older versions and models). Confusing. Just don’t want to get ripped off with an outdated system like I’ve already got…….

    Replace discontinued mother board or upgrade?

    Hey everyone, need help please. Have to decide tomorrow AM to install parts before freeze hits this weekend. My old Hayward on com system main motherboard fried itself (again). Rather then replace old outdated tech (and no option to upgrade to Omni) think I’ve decided to replace with Jandy...

    Hayward the pool cleaner connection issue

    Yes I see it now that I’ve pulled it out of pool. The connector portion slides so low it hits the gears inside and prevents them from operating. Pics attached. Something must have broken in it. Amazon replacing as it’s brand new.

    Hayward the pool cleaner connection issue

    Hey everyone. On my second Hayward “the pool cleaner”, this time went with the 4 wheel version. Worked great for a week and now it won’t work. It’s like the connection hose gets sucked to far down into the cleaner and it just won’t turn. Any recommendations? I’m not sure if something broke...
