So I'm back to this problem , more and more frequently now. Cleaning baskets and filters always fixed the issue before , but now we just did the filters 2 weeks ago and the pressure is normal , flow appears normal, no bubbling . Heater wont start sw open. We also get hi limit fault as well ...

Hello... So I have read some interesting ideas here about remoting my pool / heater. The setup is not close to the house and I am hoping to remote control these systems. Pool pump and heater come off same breaker/mech timer (the timer func I do not use ) . 2 sets of 220 come out of the box to...

Hi So few tiles broken and came off after last winter and we finally sourced the replacements. It's about 5 maybe 6. I was hoping someone could suggest the right product to use to back them. Just regular thinset or is there something else I should be using. ? Grout , or just use the thinset ...

Our pool is ~ 20 years old and so needs some TLC now and then. Over winter 5-6 tiles fell of ( in pieces ) and trying to find a resource to replace them. Does anyone have any suggestions , googling is proving not too productive ( except at 13 $ a tile which seems a bit high, and local pool...

Having a strange issue, wondered if someone might have some insights. This year and last the same issue. Beginning of season the pool pressure is good , no air appears in the pump housing. As the season goes on and it starts shooting more and more air out of the jets that go into the pool and...

It's the time of year and pool is in the process of being opened . Went to test the Heater ( Raypak 399K Natural Gas Nickle ) and the panel flickers with all hashes.. Power cycled it several times same deal. Next morning I went to record the issue and all worked heater came on , display showed...

I have a gunite pool and in several places where the tile meets what I guess is the plaster , some chunks have come off and I can see more want to if given a love tap ;-). Noting really below that tile line and only in a few places , so hoping I can repair and keep the situation from worsening...

I need to get my pump to a rebuild shop. In the meantime I'm looking for a way to plug the polaris pump hose that connects to a T at the filter outlet. Anyone know what I can use ? Otherwise the pool would drain when run , and the shop might take over a week to repair so I'd rather not let the...

I believe I have a suction side leak as my jets are always bubbling and the pump basket never fills completely ( see link to short video below ). Last year I replaced the check valve and the little drain faucet and the problem went away. Now it's back and the pool barely primes. The situation...

All of the sudden my chlorinator started weeping a lot , it appears to have coincided with me adding tabs. But I can't imagine what has changed. I've tightened things beyond what I ever would've . Used some magic lube , nothing seems to address the issue. Here is a short video...

Not sure what the problem is , opened up replaced belt and the wheels engage , but when the pump is on they barely move and the unit doesn't move at all along the pool floor. Any ideas ? Here's a video of it opened up. Not sure it helps ... New video by Evan Wellens Thanks in advance for any...

Last year our Solar Pool Cover literally disintegrated. It was only 2 years old so I think it was a lemon. Can anyone recommend a decent cover that can hold out longer ? Thanks

Hello to my favorite forum !! Hopefully this is a simple one. I have this cover over my drain that is broken and one is missing ( since I inherited the pool years ago) . I'm not sure the name of the part or how to identify it's replacement but lots of nasty stuff accumulates in there and...

Under our waterfall the water hugs the stone and meanders in back of the coping causing significant loss over time ( see photo link below ). I was thinking of putting backer rod and some kind of caulk ? elastomeric ? Was wondering if anyone could reccomend a product or such ? Want something with...

So we got this house with a pool and waterfall years ago. All worked fine. Back then we used to hire out closing/opening as we were pool clueless. Seems one season the waterfall stopped working. Since I have tried to troubleshoot with no luck. The pump doesn't prime or engage ( sorry not sure...

I have a older hayward cartridge filter and it's becoming nearly impossible to get the retaining strap springy thing ( see pict apologies if that is not the name ) to catch the screw threads when putting the filter back together after some cartridge cleaning. I've lubed it up , but it just never...

So I opened the pool got the chem going and was trying to get the temp up. Our heater worked most of yesterday and this morning when I went turn it on it was fine. But just checked on it and getting SW Open. Any ideas ? The filter is running fine, pressure is a little high (will have to clean...

For years I've had a suction side leak at the check valve. Basically the screws don't grip and hold down the cover anymore. I've band-aided with the situation with goop , and using toothpicks to allow the screws to take hold, but it leaks like crazy, just get's worse and at times wont prime. I...

I have a solana tx that was having issues with the temperature being way above the setting, so we compensated by setting the temp lower. Kept us going through the winter so we could tackle the project in the spring. Now the heating cycle never turns on. Pump works fine when manually activated...

I have a waterfall with separate intake and pump for my pool. The pump is a northstar 2HP. For various reasons it hasn't been run in a few years( a delayed repair to the waterfall's mortar joints ) . I was trying to start it up this w/e and the pump ran , but no flow. I dumped water in and...

I replaced my booster about 3 years ago as well as the connections to the main pool plumbing. This year the connections leak like crazy. Seems to be coming out of the connection to the polaris' hoses. Does anyone have ideas for a fix ? I'll re-do connections if that is the fix but they were...

So last year I broke the air relief value on top of my hayward C4530 . When opening up this year I realized I forgot to replace the part. Having done that it was odd that the part was too long to tighten to the O-ring, so i cut a little off. Seemed to be fine all day. Later I went back and saw a...

Went to open up my pool and found water coming out of the top of the chlorinator ( see picture ) . Doesn't seem to be a leak at the point the top connects to the base , more like some 'vent' ? Any ideas what I can do to fix this ? Thanks in advance for any advice. .

According to the manual and the Rayak official videos all I need to do is shut off the gas , remove and allow to drain the plugs on both sides of my heater. Online though people say you should remove the pressure water valve ? Also is it best to leave the drain plugs in or out ? The heater is...

My first time closing my pool after years of hiring it out and having issues. Was planning on using my compressor to blow out the lines and I read here that you can directly connect to the pool pumps drain valve. My compressor hose has quick connect fittings. Does anyone know what...

I'm getting a suction side leak on the window of the check valve before it hits the pump ( I can see the air bubbles) . When I went to unscrew and examine the situation I noticed 3 of the screws don't screw firmly anymore. I tried the toothpick trick which usually works for me on wood projects...

I have a hayward northstar pump from ~ 2003 ( can't say age for certain ) . Everywhere I go the orings for pump lids are too big. When searching online most don't have measurements and the ones that do are at least an inch in diameter too large. Anyone know a place I could find this ? As per...

I have had it with my Jandy 400LRZNE and it no longer will ignite ( well stay ignited) . I probably spent a good portion of my summer replacing parts and doing multimeter tests to fix one probably and have another pop up weeks later. I'm in New York and the pool is in a wooded area. 400K BTU...

I have a 2005 Solana TX model spa, last year had a similar problem changed the pressure switch and it went away. Now it's back. Seems like another problem is probably at the root. Any one have any ideas ? Wish I could find a tech troubleshooting guide so I could diagnose further.

So I opened up our Jandy Legacy LRZ 399,000 to replace the insulation panels. While doing so I disconnected the unit to make examining the heat exchange easier. Once done trying to turn on the heat threw FAULT-CHECK IGN CONTROL. Now this happens now and then since I bought the unit. The company...
