I am just planning my Hayward OmniLogic installation and have come up with an interesting problem. I would like to install the Hayward OmniLogic Pool Automation System on the brick wall in my pool shed that has a natural gas pipe running on it. The natural gas pipe feeds my BBQ. I would...

I am in the process of planning and starting to replace the AquaRite SWCG and the 1HP Single Speed Jacuzzi Magnum Force pump on my pool. I have bought the Hayward OmniLogic and Hayward SP2303VSP MaxFlo Variable Speed Pump. I decided to replace the AquaRite because it has had problems with the...

I found my sand filter pressure gauge reading 40 psi when i went to open the pool after the winter. It was just stuck there at 40. In the past it would be at 20 psi after a back wash and 30 psi when the filter was dirty. I decided to go ahead and still open the pool and buy a replacement the...

When we moved into our house, I found some of the yellow jugs of chlorine in the pool house. At least I am assuming it's liquid chlorine. I am not sure what to do with liquid. I am not inclined to add it to the pool since I don't really know what it is and we have a SWG so I don't really need...

Is there ever a reason to replace all of the pool water? If so then would it be advisable to pump out the water to "waste" through the main drain? Would that damage anything? Liner? This would be an expensive thing to do because of the cost to refill the water, but I am curious as I inherited...

Here is a real new pool owner question. I have two returns in my pool. One in the deep end and one in the shallow end. They are diagonally across the pool from each other. Which direction should the returns be pointing? Towards the bottom of the pool? Towards the surface of the water with just...
