I watched the video, which was really impressive and I bet I'll need it one day. But this doesn't seem to be the issue. The impeller spins with no trouble at all. any other ideas? Can I test the power unit without the vacuum hose attached?

Its just 2 years old. Thank you, I will check it out.

Dolphin CC LED lights flash but will not stay on. Has anyone seen this? Any suggestions? Thank you!

Jim - the idea was to go from the drain through the pump and to the tanning ledge. No filter but added circulation. Zea- it is controlled with manual valves, I can’t see how automation can handle that easily.

Exciting! How does it look now?

It seems that there just isn't enough volume of water flowing. I cannot have a decent water flow from the spillover spa and tanning ledge at the same time. Or perhaps I could, but then I have no water going to the proper filter returns in the pool. The builders response was that you simply...

We've come to the conclusion that my current filter setup simply does not flow enough water for the 18,000 gallon pool, plus spa, plus tanning ledge. I have a 2 HP pump and Hayward says adding .5 HP really won't help much. The plan is to use the return from the drain at the bottom of the pool...

Thank you both. I don't have test results handy, but figured a loss of pressure or waterflow in 12 hours is a problem regardless. I never understood about the pressure on the pump until now. Crusemm you explain it well. Honestly I never look at the guage immediately after backwash. I will see...

My pool is new this year. It’s been tough to keep clean with the weather and paver work and loose dirt around it. I back washed yesterday and the returns were pretty strong, but just 12 hours later there’s almost no return visible. I’m not losing water so I know there are no leaks. Could I just...

Thank you. I will.

Hello everyone. I'm Mike from New Jersey. I grew up with a smaller above ground pool, then got a larger above ground 20 years ago. This year we got our dream pool installed and I want to keep it crystal clear but we've had our challenges.
