Have the Hayward 1HP Superpump and have had only minor issues with it and has been a solid pump. I was getting some suction side air leaks since opening and took apart all pad plumbing and re-taped everything and don't have any air leaks now (no bubbles in pump basket). Problem now is that...

Thanks everyone. I was able to get it out with sorta of the notch/cut method and the needle nose. Used a small pair of snips to cut a layer, which then helped the needle nose pliers get a better grip. Have had the pool for 5 years, but I'm now onto the next issue. New post forthcoming...

I didn't even realize, but I am getting things fired up and my vacuum line pipe that I thread into the port broke off at some point near the end of last season. Photos are included and hopefully they show what I'm not explaining the greatest. Any tips on how to get that bad boy out without...

Okay, so I've just swapped out my 2nd capacitor on this pump. First time went flawless and got it back up and running for about 2 years now. Pump was tripping the breaker again last week, got a new capacitor (no biggie $5) and had it running fine again for about 30 minutes, but I didn't put...

Going to be doing an AA treatment this weekend. Have a birthday party at the house on 5/30/14 (two weeks roughly) and want to make sure the pool will be good to swim in. 1 - Water temp is still pretty cool. Can I have the solar cover on during an AA treatment? Have some warmer temps coming...

Was writing a post and had to step out for a short while (15 min.). Finished typing it up and went to attach a photo and I had been auto logged out. I notice the auto save flashing in the corner and was just wondering if and where it actually gets auto saved. Was a long post and would hate to...
