Filled the pool last weekend. Turned on the heat pump Wednesday 1pm, 27hrs later it's nearly 90*. If you think heat pumps don't work in Michigan here's your proof saying otherwise.

I've lost nearly 4 inches sense my last post. Just over an inch a week. My main drains are still filled with antifreeze. I changing my diagnosis to a liner leak. Guess I'll look for a liner hole this spring

96k is small? I keep my pool at 90* too. I can get 90* in October with the heatpump. It also only costs me less than $50 a month to operate. I'm not sure where you get your calculations from but I'm actually using a heat pump in Michigan and it is way better then you are saying. This is the...

I'm in Mi, Detroit Metro area. I have a heat pump and it's great. There is a couple ways to use them, most common would be have your pump timer shut off at night and turn on during the day. Then your heat pump will only run during the day when it is most efficient. Or if you are not using the...

Permanent. "You pretty much couldn't freeze traditional main drains. The entire pool would need to be frozen solid. (Although the plumbing once it leaves the bottom of the pool is fair game). Is it still frozen @Trick ? Got pics ?" I was thinking this same thing, how could it freeze? I...

In Michigan. My AGP is loosing water. My guess is the main drain froze and cracked. What product do I use to plug both drain holes?

Crud, started draining the pool and completely forgot... 3 hrs later and she's much lower then I would like. I probably drained about a 3rd of the water. Do I need to fill this up more or is it going to be OK for Michigan winter and fill it up in the spring. My fear is the sides colapse in...

I hooked it up in reverse. There was definitely restriction then but some flow. Connected it the correct way and the bypass seemed to stay closed, except when turning the pump on high, it would open slightly then close. The heater would also start for a second. I kept turning the pump on and...

AGP, Heatpump. I just opened the pool and heat pump has a Flo error. It's a pressure switch sensor. To Troubleshoot I did a test jumper on the board, it turned on. I pulled the feeder hose for the pressure switch and water came out. Both good signs and initially leads me to a bad pressure...

Glad I posted. The compatibility of the Universal, its ability to tell the salinity level and the cost makes it the better choice IMO. Thank you for the help!

This piece of junk Hayward Salt and Swim I've been running for the last 7 years has had another cell failure. That is 4 cells in 7yrs. Only 1 was my fault (added salt while it was on). I'm done! Time to upgrade. DiscountSaltPool is having a great deal right now. Upgrade to the next larger size...

I'm glad you said that, I was strongly considering going only halfway. It's about halfway right now. Been filling sense 8am yesterday, but only have the faucet half open. Too scared I'll forget and overfill it if the faucet was on full!

So I drained the pool yesterday for winter and forgot. It's nearly completely empty, the main drain plumbing height is what kept about a foot of water in it. My question is, how much water do I need to keep in the pool for winter? I'll probably put water up to that level and call it good.

I had a chance to mess with this. It seems as if my filter cartridge was clogged. I say this because I'm running it without the filter and it seems to be running fine. Pressure gauge is suppose to go up but it didn't, I think its been broke since new maybe. The gauge goes to 60max and it...
