Hey guys, I opened my pool a few weeks ago up in Ontario Canada. The outside temps have been an average of 50 degrees and the water temp matches it. I have not used the heater, just circulating water. I've been seeing about 1/4" of water loss per day (with our without a solar blanket). I...

Baptism by fire lol

Quick update for everyone. Turns out the venting adapter that I bought from a Hayward dealer was the incorrect size. I ordered the right SKU number and part, but the wrong size adapter was shipped (without me knowing). The hole in the adapter is only 4", when it needs to be 6". That...

That’s a good idea. I’ll try a lower rpm... but I fear the heater will throw an LO code. Too little water flow. I’m fairly handy, I’ve looked all over for a step by step video without any luck

Thanks so much for everyone’s input. I’ve been running my Hayward VS pump at 2475 rpm during the day and at 8pm I have it slow down to 2200rpm over night. So I’ve always heated at 2475rpm. I have never heated over night (at the lower rpm). I’m going to turn the pump up to 3000rpm and turn on...

Thanks for that. So does turning that end cap open and close the bypass?

Gotcha. And the bypass is inside that somewhere? I’m assuming it needs to be dismantled in order to access if it? Or is it as simple as a switch on the exterior of that black intake/outlet? Thanks again!

So it’s in the PVC plumbing that is installed into the heater, not on the heater itself? I don’t have a shut off/bypass valve installed on my plumbing near my heater. Or is it something that Hayward has built into the heater somewhere? Sorry for the silly questions, I literally know...

This is interesting! I literally don’t know anything about this stuff. Where would this bypass valve be located?

Thanks guys! It's a Hayward 150,000 BTU Gas Heater. From haywards input, it appears to have been connected correctly - they seem to be satisfied with the venting connection. Just seems like a heck of a coincidence - is it even possible for calcium to build up in such a short amount of time...

Here’s the story. Brand new pool, heater and all components. Hayward 150,000btu heater is causing me grief since the venting was installed. I hired a gas fitter to install the gas system middle of the summer last year. He hooked up the gas, but couldn’t install the venting (it’s located...
