you lucked out those are trash

take the time to install a waste line between the pump and the filter that you can close when filtering and open when you want to manually vacuum

get a dolphin s300i.

I wouldn't use hayward for anything. IF you want a small filter go with the sta rite system 2 cartridge filter. I would also go with a VS instead of a 2 speed

If you have to have a suction side cleaner. Get the rebel from Pentair

ok nobody hates these or hayward as much as I do, and had you said that it stopped working after a week or so I would say that is just par for the course.....however for it to not work immediately after you replaced everything is pretty bad (even for hayward). The only thing I can think that...

the intelliflo is what you want, do not put in a Vgreen motor to save money, None of my customers that have those are happy with them. One thing you can do is call a local pool service and see if they will sell you an intelliflo at cost. This way you get the better warranty and the pool...

the prowler will work fine. you have the patio cover right there for the transformer to plug in. The only thing to keep in mind is the s200 is probably the better option because it will come with the anti-swivel cord, whereas the prowler does not. the cord on the prowler doesn't have problems...

I kind of agree that bumping up to the s300 doesn't really make sense unless you plan on using the caddy a lot. My customers that have it don't seem like they use the caddy at all. If you don't use the caddy the delayed start option and quick clean option are totally worthless to me, so id...

I was curious about the same thing for a customer of mine, the maytronics rep said it would be no problem

Is there any reason not to use the s200 in an above ground pool? I know they have one for above ground pools, but it does not have a weekly timer mode, pleated filters or a 60 ft cord. Thanks!

The robots capacity is about the equivalent to your pump basket, it will pick up a lot and if your running it everyday and emptying it everyday, my guess is youll be fine. But if you get so much in this pool that your going to be emptying it several times a day, you may want to look into...

It is impossible for me to overstate how much I hate these v-flex kits. They came out a year or so ago and I thought they would make for a good alternative to replacing the navigators I have on my route. The first thing I noticed is that there was absolutely zero improvement in how the...

are the seeds bigger than the mouth on an dolphin?

The alkalinity started at 100 i lowered it to 70 using muriatic acid

plaster, pool filled up 4/1/18

New Pool 13k gallons. IC 40. I lowered the alkalinity to 70 before adding boric acid. I added the amount of boric acid that the pool calculator said was needed. I checked the alkalinity a few days later and it was up to 130. Ph was at 8.0. Does this make sense at all? What would have caused...

okay thanks. it really wouldn't make any sense for it not to count but who knows. I'm installing this weekend so I guess ill just have to play it safe

I am installing my pump for my new pool. Local code requires 4x the diameter pipe of straight run into the suction side of the pump. My question is whether a praher union would count as straight run. My pad is small and it would be nice if the space the union takes would go towards my straight run

any chance you have an underground leak on the return side? The extra pressure from the high speed might be enough to blow a little dirt from underground, kind of just grasping at straws here.

I have a blower for a spa that is not turning on. The previous owners had an air switch connected to the blower that they had cut out. Is it possible the reason the blower wont turn on is because the air switch was off before it was cut out? If so is how can i either bypass the air switch, or...

The manual for installing the outdoor wireless transceiver is a little contradictory and i am looking for help. In one place it says that the transceiver needs to be installed at least 10 feet away from the load center and in another spot it says that it needs to be installed within 10 ft of...

I have a pool that has 1 in piping going to the skimmer and the dedicated suction line. This results in not being able to get good enough flow to run the skimmer and the vacuum effectively at the same time. The timer box has a second intermatic timer available from an old booster pump. Is...

Does the pressure start out low after cleaning the filters and then rise quickly? Or is it just high immediately after cleaning the filters?

i believe the original poster has sand that is channeled and needs to do a deep clean on the sand and remove the clumps. there is an easy way to determine this in my opinion. Vacuum the dust/algae/whatever out to waste and then shut the pump off for a couple of days. If the pool stays clean...

Yes it does eliminate everything that the pool and spa have in common (jandy valve, pump seals, etc). Sounds like you may have a clog or something simple like the skimmer weir being stuck up, preventing water from flowing into the skimmmer. Do you have a vacuum in the pool, or just the...

sorry for the delayed response. But the spider gasket is one that is glued in place. So when it is replaced the whole top piece of the multiport valve is replaced. I can assure you that the pump is always off when the handle is turned, and i did not see anything wrong with the mating surface...

Waterway Champion 1HP SF1.65 pump Hayward 250 Lb Sand filter. The pool is returning dirt into the pool upon start up for a few seconds. Filter was replaced by warranty company. The problem persists. The spider gasket was replaced about 2 weeks after the new filter was installed. The problem...

Well it isnt showing up at all with it off, wouldn't it be settling evenly right now with the equipment off? what do you suggest using to cover the return lines? and yes im rinsing after backwashing, and the filter has been opened and inspected by a couple of different people. Another thing to...
