Any help on this would be appreciated. I’m stumped.

I just finished up a DIY installation of a Hayward Max-Flo VS pump (model IS2303VSP3) which replaced an old single speed pump. I set it up to be controlled by my ProLogic controller. I followed the wiring instructions to a tee. Everything seems to go fine. Pump started up just fine after...

Thanks for the response!

Does anyone know if Hayward’s XE Series pumps can integrate with their automation systems, especially AquaPlus? There is zero documentation online and Hayward has removed even the info pages for the XE line from their website.

Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much. I think I was looking at the wrong manual.

I need to replace my 15 year old single speed pump that just went to a better place and decided to upgrade to a VS pump. I have 1.5” system piping and a Hayward AquaPlus automation system. Looking at the Hayward Max-Flo VS 1.65 HP. Found a deal for $1,120. Anyone know if this is a good lock...

Thank you. Variable speed is what I’m wondering about. What models will work with the AquaPlus?

Does anyone know if non-Hayward pumps can be used with Hayward’s AquaPlus pool automation system? What models work with it? My old pump does and I’m shopping for a rebuilt unit.

I know.

Yeah. Probably. Just wanted to be sure because I had SLAMmed about a month prior and the issues recurred along with the yellowish powder on the sides and bottom of the pool. I’ll take your advice and stay at MA maintenance level for several weeks after. Thanks for the clarity.

So one would expect an overnight drop in chlorine at higher levels? Just curious about the science.

Hey all, I had cloudy water and yellow buildup on pool walls and bottom of Home Pool so decided to do a SLAM. Suspected Mustard algae based in reading articles here so decided to take it up to Mustard Algae levels following the conventional SLAM per TF instructions. OCLT passed with flying...

Well not 100% certain. Back in June or so, I added 25 lb of boric acid to the 10,000 gal pool according to pool math. That would have given me around 50 ppm. For weeks afterwards it would read around 75 by the strips. But my salt levels were declining due to leaks and such (most of that saga is...

The instructions say wait 30 seconds with strip held parallel facing up so that’s what I did. It was actually even more yellow at the 30 second mark.
