There’s no date on my Hayward S220T tag. I do see this on the bottom while I’m cleaning it. Is this a manufacture date? We’ve only lived here 3 years. Thank you.

There seems to be this tiny gap where the center pipe meets the black part. Do I need to glue that or something? The big arrow is pointing to a spot that looks like it may have been glued by previous owner. I’ve noticed a little dirt or sand in the pool but nothing huge to note .

Am I likely to cause damage to old equipment by replacing it ?

This is our third season with this pool and our first deep clean of our Hayward S220T. I have followed directions and rinsed for nearly an hour … and there’s still gunk. How good is “enough?” Or should I just replace the sand. I have no idea how the pool was maintained before we bought it 3...

We have a coop heater. What a great idea. Thanks for the tips on learning how to drain .

Yes, it's the equipment I was more concerned about. Should I be concerned?

It's rare but we are expecting 13 degree temps in GA at Christmas. I haven't closed my pool and would prefer not to but now what do I do? Just keep my filter going for 48 hours? Cover equipment? Or a full winterize? Thank you !

Thanks . Just wasn’t sure why there looks to be some sort of glue or putty applied only to part of it.

I’m doing a bucket test currently, but in my inspection I found this gap/crack in the skimmer housing (located in the found part at about 9:00-3:00 in the photo). Is this normal? There does appear to be either some glue or epoxy around 5:00 in the circle. Thanks !

The photo is blurry. It looms like little flakes.

See photo.
