    New Pump Variance

    Hello- my Hayward VSP bit the bullet (got 7 years out of it) and my question is the new pump I’m looking at (TriStar) has a 0.04” difference on the outlet (top) would that cause any issues as far as leaking I figured I could use an O ring just in case thx

    “IF” code on Hayward250

    Thanks for the replies! I started w the easiest fix first which was back wash and cleaned the skimmers (pool has been neglected as it won’t stop raining) and that did the trick (flow issue)

    Is it necessary to keep the salt up in the winter?

    Here in Georgia we are about 15” OVER normal rainfall which would decrease salt levels noticeably.

    Losing more water in Cold Weather vs. Warm Weather

    Same thing happens here in Georgia-warmer water with much cooler temps causes evaporation. In fact, my pool this a.m. has an enormous amount of steam burning off now. I’ve noticed an increase in “leak” posts every Fall since I’ve been on TFP
