Never mind. Just started working. Odd

the pressure gauge on my Hayward de filter is reading zero but water is being pumped so that be zero. Would that mean that my gauge is broken or does the port get plugged sometimes?

Might have a hose bib in the barn. I guess it would be easy to give it a try. I already have the leaf gulper. My dad had an extra.

i have hard piped my intex pool and Hayward 1hp DE ec-40. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a hose bid and have enough pressure to run a leaf gulper? I vacuum but the leaf gulper is faster for big leafs and things and it would be nice to use w/o adding extra water.

Water is perfectly clear. Will be adding muriatic, bleach and cya this evening. I have been trying to sneak up on my levels so i do not over shoot. But as soon as the levels were about right I would leave for a week and when i get home FC is 0 but the water is still clear. Nothing planned...

So i get my pool dialed in and then my chlorine levels slowly drop to null. My SWG is not throwing any error codes, when on it is producing bubbles in the water so it is creating chlorine and i have it running 6 hrs a nite per the manual. My CYA are currently low but when last checked this was...

I think it would be easier to build a shallow end. I have seen several platforms but I can't find them now. My kid too fast and I deleted the bookmarks. But a platform for the little kids that is removable might be easier than trying to adjust the skimmer height.

Added some final pix. Haven't figured out what to with the fountain. Right now I am changing it up often for the kid with dry fitting left over parts from my sprinkler install. Sometimes it shoots up, down, sprays or mists. I think I will glue a piece so no matter what the water always shoots in...

The threads on the Hayward skimmer is 1 1/2 fnpt. I bought a 1 1/2 npt x 1 1/2 slip adaptor and ran 1 1/2 pipe. Looks like you have a 1 1/2 npt x 1 1/4 reducing adaptor.

Bought used. Receipt shows this is its 2nd or 3rd year. All light show good and I have bubbles when on. Going to do all the water testing today and post results in a new thread to see if we can figure it out

Thanks. I finished today but way too hot to take pix. I built the deck and used the std A frame ladder. I wanted a raised platform but the wife did not, at first. I found the ladder on CL for $30. The lady asked if I would haul away the raised platform. The steps, platform and deck are kinda...

I am in the process of piping my intex pool. I am going to add a spray bar. After pondering it for awhile, why not just use a sprinkler or two? Seems you would have plenty of options and control. Drilling holes in a pipe would be cheaper but just marginally.

There are plenty of these posts but i thought i would share mine since I am bored at work. I am half done. It is 110+ here so I decided to swim instead of finishing. I made my own adapters w/ a 1 1/2 elec conduit box connector and o-rings. Kept the existing connection ports but will have...

I bought an EC40 with a 1hp pump. I was using an intex over the side skimmer. The small particles get thru the skimmer basket and plug up the screen in the sidewall connection which blocks the water flow. Since the hayward pump has a skimmer basket can I break out the screen in the intex...

Oh and I already have the new pump and filter stashed behind the pool next to the small intex. She will never know the difference by the time summer rolls back around. Thanks for the all the input.
