    Hayward molded plastic light faceplate locking screw

    Hey, guys, does anybody know the screw size of the faceplate locking screw. The faceplate is 16 years old with part number SP580A. The pool store doesn't have and Amazon wants 17.00 for one. I thought if I had the size I could find a ss screw at Lowes.

    Painted Pool

    Guy's I just recently had my Marcite (worn out) pool painted with epoxy/urethane with a 15 year warranty. Now, I need some info on the chemistry parameters. Is everything the same as in TA, CH, Ph, etc, or are things going to be drastically different? I'm not having very much luck online. TIA

    Pentair Superflo VS

    I'm replacing a 16 yo Jandy Stealth single speed 1hp. (For the cost of parts and coming from 4 or 5 different places.) I've decided to go with a Pentair Superflo 1.5 hp. Will this be compatible with my AutoPilot SWG, I mean, will I need to change the wiring in the AutoPilot? Everything is wired...

    Adding a drain/waste line

    I want to replace the hose bib on my return? line with a bigger, better flowing 11/2" line. I saw the pics of the one coming out the bottom of the filter housing. I have the same 100 sq ft filter but my heat pump is using that fitting. I have a hose bib in place but little pressure and was...

    Skimmer question

    Hey guys, I have a Jandy valve for my skimmer. As I stand by the skimmer basket I watch as some debris floats past as some gets sucked into the skimmer. If the debris is hugging the wall it will go into the skimmer. If it's 2 or 3 inches away, it floats by. Now, when the pool was installed 10...

    Vacuum adapter plate

    I've never used an adapter plate to vacuum my pool. Actually today is the first time I've seen or heard of one. Anyway, does the plate fit to the bottom of the basket, or just wedge itself in the basket? dumb question, huh? The bottom of my basket is 6" and the smallest I find is 7 1/4. I don't...

    AUTOPILOT DIG220 FAN

    My DIG_220 Control box on the wall is very hot to the touch. I pulled off the cover and the fan is not running. With a little nudge the left fan comes on but the right one will not. Do thy come on at different temps or do I need a new fan?

    AUTOPILOT DIG220

    I just purchased a used control box (my old one of 7 yrs was fried) from my local pool supply store. It was used for display for only about 6 months. Everything is working fine....but it is in "DEMO" mode. Does this mean anything bad? I've tried everything to get it out of mode but nothing seems...
