I have to remove my Aqua Rite cell to clean it. It is on really tightly. I managed to get one size off with a rubber strap wrench but the other side was stuck and the wrench broke. I am looking for an alternative and someone mentioned oil filter pliers. Does anyone know what size to get? There...

I just had a .85 HP Hayward Super Pump VSP (115v) installed. It has 4 preprogrammed speeds as well as a timer capability. I want to use 2 speeds. 950rpm for 12 hours and 1350rpm for 12 hours. This means you have to set up two timers. Does anyone have a simple explanation of how to do this? So...

We recently opened our pool. The water temp is 70. We have an Aqua Rite salt system which according to the diagnostics is generating chlorine. Unfortunately, the amount of chlorine in the pool is 0. The filtration system runs 24/7. According to Hayward tech support the system is generating...

We have a 12.5x21.5 oval onground pool. Would we buy a winter cover slightly larger or smaller? The choices are 12x24, 13x20, 13x24. Also have a 4' extra allowance so would going smaller work? Don't mind going larger though. This would not be a rigid cover. Thanks...

I replaced my Zodiac SWG with a Hayward Aqua Rite system. Now it complains about the water flow being too low when I have the pump at half speed. Odd as my Heat Pump works fine at that speed and it requires at lest 20 gpm. Is there some way of getting the Aqua Rite system to work at the lower...

I have a Hayward Power-Flo Matrix two speed pump with a 100sqft Harward cartridge filter. It is plugged into a three pronged outlet via an 8 ft cord or so. - 160 sqft of Aquatherm solar panels 30 ft away and up 12' on a flat roof - Sta-rite salt system - roughly 7000 gallon pool half in the...

We currently have 8 1x20 Enersol EPDM panels on a (totally) flat roof. They have worked great for 8 of 10 years and enabled use of our 256 sqft pool from mid April to mid October using a heat pump as a backup heat source. Unfortunately, the panels started to leech black particles around two...

I bought this to replace a Pool Blaster Max. It comes with a pole which is not convenient for us. Our two universal poles fit the Catfish but the fit is so tight that it is a real pain getting the pole off. They worked perfectly with our Pool Blaster Max. Is there a pool pole that has a slightly...

Water Tech came out with a revamped electric vacuum. Has anyone who had problems with the old line had positive or negative results with it? I had 3 Pool Blasters, the last being a Pool Blaster CG ( Commercial grade). None lasted longer than 3 months. On the other hand many people have used...

I am about to have a KStar 5k watt electric heater installed to top up my solar heating system. I have a two speed 1 HP Hayward Powerflo Matrix. At high speeds it claims around 80GPM of flow rate and half that at half speed. That means around 40 GPM at low speed. I ran my solar system most of...

We have a 12.5'x21.5'x52" Esther Williams Millennium oval pool buried 29". It also has a salt system, solar panels on a flat roof (10' high about 25' away). The pool came with an AG sand filter + 1HP Pentair Dynamo combo sitting on a pre made plastic base which then sits on a concrete slab. The...

I have a Pentair Dynamo pump. I removed the glass lid to clean out the strainer. Now I can' get it back on. It has to be rotated so that it fits into two groves. The problem is that the lid isn't flat enough for both sides to fit into the groves. I thought turning on the pump would suck the lid...

I have become totally confused when it comes to replacing our old 1.25 HP 110v pump. We have an 8,000 gallon semi-in ground pool which is 4' deep ( water is at that constant depth), and is 12.5'x21.5' in dimension. There is a salt generator and a solar system with panels on a flat roof around...
