    integrated light in filter return and winterizing

    I linked the light in my post, but I will update with pics when I can. Yes, I am talking about the line from the pump back to the pool. It has a light built into it.

    integrated light in filter return and winterizing

    I have a Pentair light that is integrated into my filter return. If I drain the water 6 inches below as pool school says do I still need to remove the light?

    Filter hose alternative

    I will look into skimmer socks. Thanks. In the spring everything is yellow with pollen. This is our grill every year. also my neighbors are going to have their house repointed so there is going to be a massive amount of mortar dust. I was thinking of getting a super cheap winter cover for...

    Filter hose alternative

    Last change of DE included me hosing off the fingers, I was right at 14PSI and after adding the DE it didn't go to 15. In the last week the pressure has risen to 17 psi without bumping it. But I will bump it tomorrow morning before the pump kicks on. When my pressure hits about 20 there is a...

    Filter hose alternative

    Single speed 1.5 HP Hayward pump I have gotten the pressure down to 14-15 psi range with a hard plumbed return and cleaning of the filter fingers. I will probably go with a dual speed pump once this pump goes bad. I don't know when is best to run pump, but I run mine from 1 to 7 PM since...

    Filter hose alternative

    I replaced my 6 foot hose with a 3 foot hose and there was no drop in pressure. Sorry.

    Filter hose alternative

    Water is Always crystal clear. I cleaned my filter tonight. I took top off and hosed fingers, they were dirty. I turned pump on with no DE and had a pressure of 14. I weighed out the DE this time instead of relying on scoop size. I put about 3 lb, 14 oz in. Just under the recommended 4...

    I have a 6 foot hose for my pool filter inlet. It is only about 1.5 feet from the filter to the pump. I am having hight pool filter pressure issues (16 psi with new de, and noticeable return pressure drop at 20 psi). It was suggested to shorten this hose and the return line. Return line is good...

    Hayward ec40 filter pressure

    I have a Hayward ec40 filter and my starting pressure with it was 16 PSI. The manual says to bump around 7-10 psi increase. But when it gets to 20 PSI in about a week there is a noticeable drop in return water. I am guess that the increased pressure is due to the pool coming with a return...

    can I plug the hole on my skimmer lid?

    This hole on top of my skimmer lid splashes out an amazing amount of water while the kids are swimming. Is there an issue with plugging or covering this hole? Or am I seeing more water come out of it then there really is?

    round AGP is going in tomorrow and friend suggested making center deeper

    Haha, I know. The pool store had to give me someone else’s liner with a late summer install since mine is going in now. There are no pools and even less liners.

    round AGP is going in tomorrow and friend suggested making center deeper

    18' I don't know what brand pool it is, but I believe it has a bead liner. I figured I won't get 6 inches, but maybe an inch or two in the center.
