We have an underground salt water pool in Vancouver BC. Based on our kidney shape pool & design/ location of the water features, our new pool guy recommended we run the pump to prevent the pipes from freezing over winter (instead of covering/ winterizing chemicals). Over the last ~7 years of...

Hello, I’m looking for opinions/ advice about our vinyl in-ground SWP, 16,000 gallons. We’re living near Vancouver, BC where winter temps are generally mild (compared to the rest of Canada), however we do get stretches of weather where temperatures hit 14 degrees F for weeks at a time. Over...

Hello, we started our Hayward T-Cell15-SWP salt water cell chlorinator earlier this month when the pool water temperature climbed to 60 degrees. No issues for a few weeks. Now the pool temp is 65 degrees and we’re getting “Chlorinator Off Low Temperature” out of nowhere on our Pro Logic panel...

We blew air through the line in the pool room. It came out of the weir door. Is that normal? And does that help to determine why we can't seem to clear the line? Thanks

Hello, we are winterizing. Every winter we leave the main filter running but shut down and blow out the lines in the water features, which run through pipes and into Hayward floor pumps in our pool room. Our pool has 3 water features - one is a waterfall trio feature which runs through it's own...

It probably wasn't seated properly. That makes sense. The unit is high up on a ledge that is almost impossible to access and is super awkward to try to get at with a step ladder/chair. I'll find a way to do better next season (not just a drop in and finger cross... although this method worked...

Eesh! Thanks... I appreciate the info.

Hi, I have a Hayward Star-Clear C500 filter used for a waterfall/water feature in our underground vinyl SW pool I replaced the CX250F filter head gasket in July 2019, using silicone Magic Lube. I just took the unit apart for winterizing/routine cleaning and found a warped gasket with whitish...

Thanks. Yes there’s a bypass valve. Please pardon my ignorance / lack of knowledge with my clarifying questions... We also run a spa through the heater, we winterized our spa this year too. There’s a pool bypass heater valve, a spa bypass heater valve (then to and from pipes & valves between...

Hi, we live on the outskirts of Vancouver, BC, the temperature is typically fairly mild but has reached lows of about 14 degrees Farenheit in the winter. Our pool guy has always winterized our in ground salt water pool water features, up until this year where we are taking it on ourselves. We...
