    New VS Pump - help with timers please

    I upgraded to a Hayward W3SP2603VSP pump and am having a hard time figuring out the settings to have it run at a set speed until I manually change it. Pump is stand alone, no automation. The way I read the manual if I set the start and end time as the same the pump would just continue running...

    Hayward W3H250FDN - wet control panel

    Twice now my heater has shut off. Screen black and won’t power on. I pull off the control panel and there is water/moisture at the bottom edge of the control board. I dry it off. Put it back together and it fires right back up and works fine. The bezel and its gasket appear to be warped a...

    Safety Cover spring sleeves/covers

    Easy question I hope. Is there a reason to have protective covers/sleeves over the safety cover springs? My plastic sleeves have almost all crumbled due to age and trying to decide if there is a reason to replace them? TIA.

    Dolphin Proteus DX3 - Sizing question

    The Proteus DX3 is listed as being for pools up to 33 feet long. I have an older kidney shaped pool with sloped middle section and sloped walls on the deep end. The pool deck level opening is @35 feet. Can I still make this work? What would be the limitations - if any. TIA!

    Heater install

    Installing a heater for my older pool. Never had a heater before. All my plumbing is 1.5 inch but the heater I/O connections are 2 inch. I am wondering if it is ok to increase the diameter just before the heater and then again just after. Any major concerns with this? Natural gas heater. Hayward...

    What's this and can I cut it out?

    Bought a house last year with a pool. This "device" is on the return side. The previous owner didn't mention it, and not sure he new what it was. Seems to have a rubber diapgrham and wing nut on the bottom. Pool is still closed at the moment - so no pressure read - and I don't recall if it read...

    Is there a code or standard plug for a pool pump motor plug? Bought a house with a pool - motor outdated, had been rebuilt once and getting noisier so I am replacing that - now would be the time to correct the plug/outlet if it has to be. Current cord has a flat blade grounded plug into a single...
