Hi All, Just wanted to share with you the level of support I received from Hayward Canada. I'm not a shill for the Hayward - just a consumer that over the years has had mixed experiences with a variety of manufacturers, and I thought I'd share a positive one. I opened my pool this past weekend...

Leaving this here in the event someone else has a similar issue. I installed an OmniLogic in 2016. Start up in spring 2018 the unit would constantly power down - tripping the GFCI for the main power on the Omni's onboard breaker panel. It tended to trip the GFCI more often when went the ambient...

Hi All, Installed the OmniLogic last summer and after some effort configuring the wireless AP the network was up (TP Link PhaROS AP plugged into the OmniLogic LAN port) and all was well until I closed the pool. Upon opening the pool this season the OmniLogic won't connect to my network. I...

Hi All, I have a Hayward OmniLogic that I'd like to use to control my landscape lighting. My current transformer is no longer working and need to replace it. Can someone point me in the right direction of a bare bones transformer? All I need is something that will convert 120V down to 12V. It...

Hi All, I'd appreciate any insight into my upcoming project. My Zodiac Duo Clear SWG packed it in at the end of last season (after 8 seasons of trouble free operation), Hayward Tri-Star pump isn't long for this world and I'd like to add an automation system to my backyard. I'm thinking of...

Hi All, Our next-door neighbours have a new pool going in. During the construction process the heavy machinery has kicked up A LOT of dust and dirt and much of it ended up in our pool. Construction started last Tuesday, our pool went green Saturday AM and after 48 hours of SLAM-ing it hasn't...

Hi TFP, I asked a pool supplier in the US to order me a replacement for the Red Phenol R-0004 that came with my Taylor K-2006. The sent me R-1003J and I'm not sure it the correct solution for the 2000 Series comparator that came with the test kit. Can anyone confirm if I can use R-1003 in a...

As a part of my pool opening this year (5 year old pool, 2nd season owning it) I decided to pop the top of my sand filter and see how things looked. I've read that you should consider changing the sand after 5 years and I wanted to see the general condition of the filters internals. The multi...

I had something interesting happen with the pool last weekend. We had a few kids over for a swim. My son noticed that the force from the returns was weak, but I didn't think much of it. A few minutes later I noticed the waterfall had stopped flowing due to one of the kids holding the weir on...

This was my first season opening the pool. We moved into the house last Aug and had a little over a month to enjoy the pool before I had it professionally closed in October. I was ready to call the pros back in to open it but since I'm a hands on type of person I thought I'd give it a shot...

Bought a 16 year old house a few weeks back. We're the 3rd owners; original owners were in the house for 6 years, the people we bought from we're here for 10 and did numerous renovations while they owned it. If finding that many of the projects they took on have a sloppy finish or were simply...

I have a 3 year old Jandy (Laars) LX NG Heater. It was installed along with the rest of the pool by Pioneer Pools back in 2007. I've owned the house for 3 weeks and I'm not 100% sure how well the pool or equipment have been maintained based on the general upkeep of the rest of the house. The...

Hello, Moving into a new house in mid-August and I'm trying to work out some of the security/pool safety details. See attached pic. [attachment=0:1brtoeia]97 Back1430.jpg[/attachment:1brtoeia] The garage is behind the house and it's accessed via a single lane driveway that you can see on the...

Moving into a new house mid-August. The pool is only 2 years old and well maintained. I won't have anything to do before we can start enjoying the pool thanks to the current owners who seem to take pride in their house. That said there are always those elective projects to do once we're all...
