    Hello all, I have a Hayward 1 1/2 HP water feature pump Model # SP3210X15 that moves too much water. It serves my rock water falls and 2 bubblers on the sun deck. The water flow is too much and too noisy. It’s hard to have a conversation when it’s running. Can I install a smaller impeller on...

    Stenner Pump Tubing

    Does anyone have an Amazon link to buy the black 1/4” tubing and fittings to use on Stenner pumps? I use Locke Well and Pumps for my Stenner parts but I just need tubing and fittings. I want it quickly and don’t want to pay shipping for such a small purchase.

    Adding Auto Fill To Existing Pool

    I’m looking for a practical way to add an auto fill to my existing pool. Pool was built in 2015 and I have a manual 3/4” fill line run to one of the skimmers. I’m thinking maybe there is a place to install an electronic water level sensor and add an automatic valve actuator on the fill line.

    TFT Test Kits

    I ordered a TFT test kit last year and the reagents didn’t have expiration dates on them. Is it still that way because I don’t know when they expire.

    Aquapod 2.0 Battery

    Anyone know where to get the battery for the Aquapod 2 touchscreen remote? The manual says it’s non replaceable but I removed the 6 screws and it came right apart. Unlike the original Aquapod 1, this one just pops apart and the o rings remain intact.

    Pool Light

    I have a Hayward Colorlogic LED light and the niche was installed too close to a curve in the plaster. Because of the curve, the light can’t be mounted properly. It can only be hung by the top screw and the bottom where the clip is just hangs and can flop around. I am unable to clip the bottom...

After the dot disappears, it comes back, then add a little more until it disappears again then it comes back again and I repeat until it never comes back. My question is: Is the proper...

    Hello all. I have a Hayward PS8 controller with valve actuator outputs 3 & 4 unused. I noticed I can configure the names for all the valve outputs to the same names as the 8 relays. Since the valve actuators operate off of 24 volts AC, I was wondering if anyone has wired relays to the unused...

    Hello from Houston

    Hello all! I built my first pool last summer and we got our first year out of it. This is my first post but I've been studying this site extensively over the past year. I started off using Trichlor pucks but quickly learned to stay away from them thanks to this site! I've been using the BBB...
