    Which part to replace cracked filter manifold?

    My Hayward pump filter manifold is cracked, and I don't know which version I need? https://www.inyopools.com/Products/02201352067515.htm https://www.inyopools.com/Products/02201352075574.htm Both look identical in the descriptions. I emailed inyo pools, and was told one is made for the 3030...

    Hayward fitting size

    Posting here before I begin my google search. I accidentally kicked and broke the small plastic fitting at the base of the pump. Hose connects to the top of the filter housing. Is this a piece I can get from Lowes/Tractor Supply, or dare I say Leslies? [I'll add pics in a few minutes]

    Time to replace T15

    A few days ago I noticed salt level on controller said 2900ppm. I didn't have any to add, until 2 days later when I was getting errors on my Blue Haven /Hayward controller...CHLORINATOR OFF/TEST SALT LEVEL, CHECK SYSTEM/VERY LOW SALT and INSTANT SALT/CHLORINATOR OFF. I added 2x40lbs, no change...

    "Check system no cell power 2" error

    Now that I've read a little more. I now know better than to plug 100ft extension cord and circular saw into the same outlet as my Blue Haven /Hayward pool controller. After working on my shed, I got the CHECK SYSTEM NO CELL POWER ERROR. I wasnt terribly worried because I've had what I thought...

    Chlorine testing---Does order matter

    I guess so. I was testing the FC and CC with my TFT test kit, and after 2 drops of the first reagent, I realized I had forgot to add the powder. So I added in one spoonful, then continued with the drops...3,4,5...I only got to 9, FC 4,5 when it went clear, I was expecting FC 7-9. Ok, strange...

    SLAM or not?

    I think I've been true to the TFP method, haven't added anything but salt, cya, and elbow grease brushing the walls, been using my TF100 to check the FC regularly. I've still been having issues with what looks like rust on the light blue/white liner, but upon closer inspection (dive underwater...

    When to add salt

    I'm reading as much as I can here, trying to make this pool care second nature to me. I encountered advice in this thread (http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/74142-Help-with-my-test-results) and was surprised by the recommendation to add salt last. I didn't think the salt concentration...

    Generate chlorine on low speed?

    Wife swears the pool builder said out turbocell15 only generates chlorine when the pump is on high speed. I don't have any reason to doubt her, but would like to see it in writing. The manual for the turbo cell implies its possible, warning about low flow causing damage, then shows mounting...

    Adjusting pool for summer

    This is the beginning of my second season, I may or may not be a noobie, but could still use some guidance. We got a solar cover end of last year, left it on all winter to keep leaves, etc., out. So this year, I've been opening the pool, most weekends, kids have been swimming. I thought the...

    Main drain or skimmer box.

    My 36x18 IG rectangular pool has 2 main drains in the deep end and 2 skimmer boxes, one in the deep end, one in then shallow end. Over at the pump, there are 2 valves on the suction side, ones for the main drains and one for the skimmer boxes. What ratio of main drain to skimmer box should I...

    SWG pool pump run times

    Please post up how much you run your pump...I'm trying to get an idea if I'm running too much or too little, and also trying to decide how to reprogram for winter. Shifting the runtime to nighttime seems like a good idea, because the freeze protection will kick in occasionally anyways, then of...

    CYA quality

    Is it all the same wherever you buy it? Walmart didn't have large qty's of solid CYA at the store, but found Blue Wave brand online at walmart.com thru Wayfair. Amazon also has the same product, and the one online review says it is junk...

    noobie, needs to dial in the pool

    The pool was finished in the late summer, we enjoyed it for a few weekends, tested the water with the red/yellow test kit, but that's about it, it never needed much adjustment. Over the winter, it was uncovered, we skimmed lots of leaves, vacuumed a few times, and had 2 bouts with green algae...
