    Have Hayward Filter 150 with 1500 pleated filter and an Aquagenie skimmer/return distributor. I am having high pressure problems on the filter.

    Switching from Zodiac Salt System with Clearwater Technology Aboveground Model to Hayward Acquatrol

    I have a partially inground pool, about 11,000 gal with a 10 yr old Zodiac system which seems to have packed it in. The cell is fairly new but I fear the power pack/control box may be shot. The Zodiacs have been discontinued so I'm looking at a Hayward acquatrol open box deal from a discount...

    Dampening outdoor pump noise

    I finally replaced my 10 yr old pump, which was giving me serious self-priming problems. I thought, with techno advancements I would get a quieter pump but the new one is noisier. It's within 6 ft of my property line and I wondered if anyone had a recommendation for baffles to dampen sound...

    Balky self-priming pump

    My pump or possibly the suction line, or both are giving me problems. After stopping and opening pump filter basket or for cleaning filter cartridge won’t self-prime and difficulty manually priming. Have to pour water into the open filter basket several times. The motor cutout on the pump trips...

    Zodiac Salt System with Clearwater technology - Above ground model

    When I went to connect the power cord contacts, red, black and blue to the Cell to start up, the blue female connector metal just crumbled to pieces. Can I just strip the blue plastic off and remove from wiring then find a replacement connector to wire in? I have to find a source of these...

    XStream 1500 filter - difficult locking ring

    The locking ring "Easy Lok" on my XStream 1500 filter is becoming difficult to almost impossible to both turn to lock and then unlock to open. It first started last season and then this year the pool opening guys said they had a terrible time turning to lock and that I would probably have to buy...

    liner pulled off top of wall

    Have partially (mostly) inground pool with liner pulled of top of wall under coping in two spots. I tried to fix by getting coping off to put the lip of liner over the top again but doesn't work. There seems to be downward protruding stops on underside of coping preventing me from sliding...

    Was troubleshooting filter pressure this week and have had continuously more difficulty opening and closing of easy-lok assembly. Have cleaned thread areas with detergent, water , brush. But now it's kind of seized up part way to locking position. Had to hammer it off with rubber mallet on...

    High Pressure on Hayward XStream Cartridge Filter

    My normal clean cartridge filter pressure is ~ 12.5 psi. After about 1.5 months it crept up to ~ 17 psi and I stopped filtration and cleaned it (All normal). After reinstalling and starting up it fairly quickly went up to 18 psi. I checked everything I could in return system, including my salt...

    Aqua Genie Loud Gurgling

    Still Trouble shooting my pool after opening. My Aqua Genie Skimmer seems to be generating a lot of waves and bubbling and attendant noise around the return. It's slightly above the fill mark and I can hear the noise through a closed door. If I just push the inlet weir down slightly it calms...

    High Pressure at Pool Opening

    I have a 12 X 27 onground/partially inground pool with a Hayward cartridge filter. Normally a fresh/clean filter starts at about 12.0-12.5 psi and I remove to clean at about 18.5-19.0. After I had my pool opened by my pool supplier crew I had to top up the water level before (a day later)...
