I'm stumped and hoping someone can help me out. I have a Hayward DE4820 filter with a Hayward 4 Port Multi-valve. It started leaking some water out the top. I was just in the process of backwashing to reduce the pressure, but I guess I was too late and once completed, changed back to filter mode...

I have a Hayward Super Pump 1.5 HP. Over the last week, I really felt the motor/pump did not sound right. A bit of a metallic sound. But everything seemed to be operating normally. Good pressure on the filter, good flow, vacuum worked fine. I was researching some threads though and I went and...

We have an inground spa connected with our inground pool. This will be year 6 of our pool and we put it in. I just haven't spent that much time learning like I should. Anyway, I have learned a bunch over the last 2 years to be a more responsible owner. The spa has a switch on the control panel...

My pool company (former...) replaced the grids in my DE filter last season. It never seemed right to me after since it would leak. I was a lazy owner and just didn't look into it. I opened the pool this year (first time doing that) and of course it continued to leak, since the problem didn't...

I see a lot of redundant type questions about SLAMing but I couldn't find my situation so figured I'd ask. I've been slamming since late Saturday. LOTS of Liquid Chlorine has been dumped into my pool. 70 CYA there for ya! I put in the Pool Math amount of chlorine yesterday morning to get back...

Entering 4th season with pool. Really have winged it and want to take better care of my pool. Pool water has always looked good and had no complaints but feel I can do better. I have learned a bunch already and looking to learn more.

27000 gallon SWG pool is 4 years old. I primarily have winged it on pool care using my local Lselies to help me get right. Looking to do a better job and take better care of my pool. Got my tf-100 kit yesterday with the aqua check strips and went to work. I had not added CYA so I’m getting on...
