Does anyone know of a « bib »-like device I can strap around a Hayward S244T sand filter to be able to deep clean the filter inside the pool shed where the filter is located? Something I could hookup a suitable drain hose to, to direct the water outside the pool shed. Hauling the filter out...

Hey! Texas Splash. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am aware of this sticky but since it is not a trivial process (my MP valve is hard plumbed into the system), I was hoping someone might have an explanation for my dropping pressure issue. I'm planning to tackle the filter replumbing and sand...

Hello, My hayward S-244T sand filter pressure now drops instead of rising, as filter gets dirty. This happens on both suction side gauge and filter gauge. Nothing has changed in equipment setup since last year. Backwashing returns pressures to normal. Clean pressure is around 28psi on the...

Thanks for the clarification. I will take a look at the pump tools workbook's "PSIVac2GPM" tab. I'll also move the pressure gauge to the pump to compare. The filter pressure port is about 36" off the slab. Plumbing btwn the pump outlet and filter MPV is roughly 5ft of 1.5" pipe with a 90° elbow...

Thank you for taking the time to respond @mas985. Vacuum at pump drain plug. Pressure at filter gauge. I understand from your response that you think flow meter accuracy Is the main issue and that I am probably closer to a 58 gpm flow, as expected from the pump performance data. Is that...

Hello, I just cleaned up my inground pool plumbing and added a flowmeter at the outlet of the filter. All plumbing is 1.5" with separate skimmer and bottom drain lines on the suction side. Heatpump and salt cell are plumbed in the usual serial manner on the pressure side. Actual measured flow...

Glad I could help you get it working. I'm not sure I understand what you mean about the jumpers and addendum, but the wiring scheme I suggested results in the timer always being powered (as it should), regardless of the pump being switched on or off. You do not need those jumpers at all in your...

@rajung , Just realized the supplied jumpers with your WiOn are 16AWG. DO NOT USE THEM. You should not mix wire gauges under a same terminal. Use ONLY solid wire of the appropriate gauge for your pump. Use separate lengths of that same pump wiring to create your jumpers. See example excerpted...

Lots of useful info on this page... You definitely don't need all of it but pay attention to the safety recommendations and details on how to connect multiple wires to a single terminal.

I have a SWG pool so my method of estimating volume is using salt. 4 easy steps No interactions with other chemicals Only dependent on your salt measurement accuracy (and math) My geometrically calculated volume is around 60,000 liters. With the salt method, I get about 62,000 liters if I...
