Considering I can buy 3 non Hayward ones for the price of a Hayward one. I am not complaining just yet. We shall see how it looks when mine gets here tomorrow.

How long have you had this system? Mine is now on 3rd season and my flow switch just failed this week... Only 2.5 season is quite disappointing...

Well I finally was able to finish the plumbing overhaul. This weekend I put another 3 way diverter in to control between returns and seat jets. I can now turn one or the other on/off. If I need both I can simply remove the stops and select both..... The noise is no longer there. It had to...

Brenda. Read read read and listen listen listen listwn to what they are telling you. Minus the leaves and sludge. My pool looks just like this every spring. 1 week from that to crystal clear. Make sure the bottom is clear of as much debris as possible and filter bottom drain only for a bit...

Been down for a bit. Back issues and trying to get pool ready for a party. Measurements. Feed from the pump is 1.5 inch in diameter. I do not think it is a design issue. If you look at these pictures you can see the clean area. I think this is where the cavitation was happening on the old...

My old liner did that in a 3rd of my pool. I was never able to get it out... very frustrating. I did however continue for 4-5 years with it and never had a problem...

Yes I do. I will measure when I get home or in the AM. I do not think anything is that small but you never know. The PVC is 1 3/4 stepped down to the threaded size and the I may get even smaller inside but I do not think it gets as small as 3/4

The noise is loudest at the MP right where the pump feeds it. Awesome to find out I am not alone. I was concerned it was something I did with my overhaul. I suspect it is since I indeed increases flow by replacing a few 90's with 45's and I removed the nature 2 which I considered a...

Sorry? :-) Yes slide only it goes away. Seat jets and returns at 14 it is still there but significantly reduced.

Pressure after backwash 12 PSI MD and Skimmer on. All returns including slide on. Pressure after backwash 22 PSI MD and Skimmer on. Slide only Pressure after backwash 14 PSI MD and Skimmer on. Returns and seat jets only Pump is 35 inches so call it 3 feet above current water level...

Sorry did not answer thoroughly. Noise happens with any combination until the pressure rises. I will go down a little if I simply select slide but it is still there.

No change. Skimmer off to filtering bottom only due to slamming it.

Ok here you go. I am planning on replacing the T in the return and seat jets return with a 3way diverter just like the other two. I do not like that I cannot turn off the seat jets without turning off the returns. All pipes labeled in the pictures. The other pipe you ask about is the waste...

Multivalve is all new. Pluming cut out unscrewed and removed from filter and replaced with new. Are the gaskets you are talking about the ones between the Multi and the filter? I am not sure if they were replaced. What is the backwash valve you speak of?

Will make sure I post a solution if I find one.... It is definitely the in multivalve. At 26 seconds you can hear it the loudest. hat is right where the mic was on my iphone. Could the pump be creating the noise and it travel up through the pluming to the multivalve and be heard there...
