The Hayward I have now is rated at 2HP. Any plug it type timer is rated for use with 1HP pumps max. Hayward has a bolt on timer for their pumps but can only be set to run for 6/12/18/24hr run times and you have to set it AT the time you want it to go on. For example, if I want the pump to...

I ordered a 1HP Hayward Matrix 2 speed . I hope it's enough. Thanks for your help. One plus, ill have real timer for a change since its just 1 HP. I can ditch the Hayward 6/12/24 timer.

So how does the Hayward 2 speed work? If I run for 12hrs (I do this so the heater can come on during the day, it is over kill for clean water) does it switch between speed? Is it always on one speed until its manually switched?

I have an above ground 27', 17,500 gallon. Ther is only about 6-8 feet of head of 1.5" hose from the skimmer to the pump' then to the Hayward 150 Voyager cartridge filer, then heater, then return. The current pump is Hayward SP1520Z1EFTC, 2.0 HP, SF is SPL. I have heard this is an uprated...

I thought so. Thanks

To have algae but zero CC.

I would like to get a timer that is a little more robust than the one that comes with the pump. Nobody makes a timer where I can just plug the pump into it. Most plug in type timers have a max horse power rating of 1.5 max.

AMPS says 15.0, nothing that says FLA. I have attached a pic of the plate. Im guesing this is a SF of .75 giving it a THP of 1.5. Would like to confirm though.

Hello, I have been researching for a possible lower energy replacement pump. The one I have was purchased as part of a package for our above ground pool. Its a 27' round AGP. The pump is a Hayward SP1520Z1EFTC, HP 2.0, SF SPL. What I would like to know is the service factor so I can see...

It passed OCLT. At this rate though, it will be several days before FC drops back to a swimmable level. Thanks for your help. slange316

It has been rather windy hear so I am getting a lot of Crud blowing into the pool. I feel the OCLT would not be totally reliable so I have been testing CC. After the first 24hrs, CC=0. It was up to .5 or less after 48hrs.

This is my first year with a SWG. It has been perfect. I live in the west burbs of Chicago. When the weather got cooler last weekend and less people in the pool, I thought it would be a good idea to turn down (from what I had set for the summer) the SWG from 20% to 10% and cut the pump time...

CYA is high at 100, FC is 4.5, CC .5, PH 7.5. I have not tested TA and CH this week. Salt is 3500ppm I live in the west Chicago suburbs. The service panel is on the SW side of the pool. We have had pretty hot, dry weather the last 3 weeks. I was using trichlor until the SWG went in. I...

27" round, AGP, 2nd full summer. I put in a SWG 3 weeks and noticed on my stainless steel service panel, very small rust spots, all over it. They look like rusty blemishes, very much surface rust at this point. After watching it for a week, they are getting bigger. I am afraid that in...
