    Is Foam Injection a Good Fix for a Leaking Skimmer?

    Back in Jun 2018, TFP Forum Member baxtx posted a question about repairing a leaking skimmer using a foam injection kit from Anderson Manufacturing. Now, 15 months later, I have the same problem with a leaking skimmer and the same question about how to fix it. IMHO, the Anderson foam injection...

    Can't Access OmniLogic from Laptop

    Argh -- it cleared itself and is now working as it always has! Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it did. I'm just annoyed when something like this happens and I have no idea why -- or how or why it got fixed. Just wanted to update you all in case this happens to somebody else. Speaking of...

    Can't Access OmniLogic from Laptop

    Thanks frogabog, Any idea who NextGen technical support is and how to contact them? I have not incorporated anything called NextGen into my home wireless network, router, modem, etc. I usually consider myself to be Tech Support for my own home system (and I never heard of NextGen in this...

    Can't Access OmniLogic from Laptop

    Installed OmniLogic last year and connected it to my home network via wifi. The Hayward laptop/desktop program has been great for checking/changing pump speed, heater/water temp, slat level, lights, etc. and has worked flawlessly until this am. When I tried to log-in on my laptop this morning...

    For us non-chem majors, why not store MA with the rest of the stuff?

    Landscaping Help - Good Trees for Pool?

    Yes, crepe myrtles are colorful, but they do drop a lot. Very messy. I'm thinking maybe some seedless maples for shade and a few dogwoods for springtime color.

    Landscaping Help - Good Trees for Pool?

    Great idea! We're actually thinking of planting a row of hollies as a privacy barrier. They grow well here and there is a variety (forget what they are called) without the sharp tips on the leaves.

    Landscaping Help - Good Trees for Pool?

    I have a 20'x40' inground concrete pool with 10'-15' of Bermuda grass between the pool deck and a natural area. The natural area has dried leaves and pine straw (typical for the Raleigh area) and lots of trees. Because of the tree droppings (whirlybirds, spiney balls, hickory nuts), we are...

    Hayward pH & ORP probes: Sense & Dispense vs. CAT2000/4000

    I was afraid of something like that. Since I really don't want to pay for a dispense capability that I don't intend to use, I guess I'll just have to be on the lookout for a used S&D system with operational sense capability to interface with the OmniLogic control panel. Shouldn't be hard to...

    Hayward pH & ORP probes: Sense & Dispense vs. CAT2000/4000

    Hi Vince L, Glad to see you're still posting. Also glad to hear the Sense and Dispense system isn't as bad as I thought. If you don't mind another question: When you switched-out the pH probe in 2016, did you use a Hayward replacement probe (GLX), one of the commercial probes (from the CATx000...

    Hayward pH & ORP probes: Sense & Dispense vs. CAT2000/4000

    This is an old thread, but it was the closest archived posting I could find that addresses my question. I hope the original posters are still active and others find it useful . . . I have a new inground concrete pool with all new Hayward equipment including an OmniLogic control panel. The...

    Pool Light - Neutral Wire

    Late to the thread, but I can't believe nobody asked what switch you used. So, what switch did you use?
